This is a set of two heavy-duty steel skid shoes designed to bolt onto the bottom edges of a tractor-mounted snow plow blade. They protect the blade edge and pavement from scraping damage and reduce friction for smoother plowing on driveways and sidewalks.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify three things:
- Blade width: Each protector is roughly 6–8 inches long; they fit most standard 48–72 inch plow blades, but measure your blade’s mounting holes and edge width to confirm.
- Mounting pattern: These use double lock nuts and bolts (included). Check that your blade has pre-drilled holes or a flat edge where you can drill new ones—no universal adapter is provided.
- Brand/model: “Tractor” is a generic aftermarket brand. These will not directly fit OEM mounts on John Deere, Kubota, or Craftsman plows without modification. Expect to drill or adjust.
Key Things to Know
- Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a drill, bits, and a wrench. No cutting or welding required, but precise hole alignment is critical.
- Material quality: Steel is thick (approx. 1/4 inch) and heavy. Several reviewers note the bolts supplied are soft and may strip—consider replacing with grade 8 hardware.
- Durability: Good for occasional residential use on asphalt or concrete. On gravel or rough surfaces, the steel edge can wear faster than polymer alternatives.
- Double lock nuts: Help prevent loosening from vibration, but you must tighten them properly or they can back out mid-plow.
Should You Buy It
If you have a generic or older tractor snow plow blade without built-in skid shoes and you’re comfortable drilling and fitting hardware, this is a budget-friendly way to protect your blade and surface. Skip it if you want a precise OEM fit or plow over gravel regularly—those scenarios call for a polymer or quick-attach option.
