UHMW is a heavy-duty, high-impact plastic used in a variety of extreme weather applications from forestry equipment to snowmobile skis. UHMW is virtually unbreakable, significantly more wear-resistant than steel, and not adversely affected by freezing winter temperatures. In snow plow edge applications, UHMW is much quieter than steel and more gentle on surfaces, increasing the longevity of roads and protecting aesthetic surfaces such as cobblestone and driveway transitions. Interstate Plastics cuts UHMW sheet to your specified dimensions and the material’s desirable machining properties allow customers to drill bolt-holes and mount edges with ease (and with no specialized hardware required).
Odorless, tasteless and nontoxic
Highly resistant to corrosive chemicals (except oxidizing acids)
Extremely low moisture absorption

Nice tractor
High 50’s here in SW Va so I feel you snow pain Courtney! Merry Christmas and thanks for the video!
Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas. I appreciate all of the great videos.👍🏻
Thanks Tim, Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Joseph!
Great upgrade! It did a great job on your driveway.
Thanks Allen!
Looks like it worked out well for you. I saw that Polaris makes a 72" L shaped poly edge for use on gravel and grass. I'll be using my 72" Land Pride blade for the first time tomorrow with the storm thats supposed to drop 10-15" starting this evening. If that doesn't work well on gravel I'd consider modifying the Polaris edge to see if it would be a better solution. Below is how it is typically listed in case anyone is interested or has any experience with it.

Nice cutting edge upgrade and install! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
For sure a nice option over the steel edge. I have used baler belt in the past but haven't kept machine long enough for a good long test.
I've heard good things about it.
Merry Christmas🎅🎄Enjoyed🚜🇺🇸👍
Merry Christmas Mark!
Looks like a great product that you have shown . Great for people with concrete and paving brick driveways or anything for that matter . Very good prices . I'm sure that you will help out many people who are looking for something like this . Merry Christmas .
Merry Christmas!
Mild Christmas in western NY, nice. Merry Christmas..
Mild here too, Merry Christmas!
UHMW- Ultra High Molecular Weight
It’s a polyethylene plastic, common to be used where slick glide surfaces need to be abrasion resistant.
Often used on plow blades, chutes for gravel, dogsled runners, bottom of air-boats and skis for planes to land on snow and ice.
Expensive but nothing cheap compares to its durability.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas 🎄from N.S. Canada 🇨🇦
Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Christmas, nice edge and now no seem between the extensions. Great Job.
Thanks, Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
Merry Christmas Dan!
Now let’s see a broom attachment to clean up the rest 😎. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Haha, Merry Christmas!
I recently replaced the steel edge on my John Deere snowblower. It’s a big heavy unit and I also was concerned about ripping up my driveway. So I replaced the edge with the thick rubber belting material and I also found some replacement uhmw skids that fit the blower perfectly. Now I have a pretty nice setup.
I did not consider a plastic edge such as yours we’ll see how the rubber one holds up.
What's the rubber material that you used, and how did it hold up?
@@johnthree1611I can’t remember where I bought it from..
I think I just did a google search for flexible snow plow blade material or something like that..
It’s the same material that is used on the rubber belts on conveyers used in gravel pits.
And it has held up
Extremely well. It won’t scrape up any ice or hard snow but that’s ok for my needs. It’s really saved my driveway
I just bought the poly blade and edges for my JD 47” snowblower. Should I have all 3 touching the pavement or just the side guards. Tx!!
I bought a x384 john deere and bought a 44in snow plow and I found a factory made poly cutting edge on Amazon but was wondering if that would have enough give and not get hung up on my drive way sidewalks like my steel edge does
Merry Christmas everyone. Band of Brothers and Sisters
Merry Christmas sir!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you!
Uhmw is what they make snowmobile ski’s from! That stuff is really tough.
I have the uhmw and getting ready to install on my blade and noticed that the uhmw does't go flush with the pavement in the front as the plow itself the way it is shaped has the front edge of the uhmw up about 1/4 inch however the back of the uhmw where it is flat against the blade goes down to the pavement. Did you notice that on your blade ? I know eventually it will wear down and be flush against the pavement just wondering if you cut the front edge on an angle so it rested flush on the ground? Thanks
Any reason you didn’t use carriage bolts in the UHMW? Seems that would catch snow less than the hex heads with washers.
I live just North of you and feel your pain on the no snow issue....lol. would that be good for going over grass too? So far, im going to have my work cut out in the spring time fixing where my blade ripped up the top soil. Thanks and happy holidays!
I don't know about working well on grass. You'd still want some good skid shoes/skid runners to keep it from digging in. Merry Christmas!
One trip to the hardware store....yea that's a good one
Story of my life!
Never return anything... you will need the same exact thing in trips later. It's better to build up a supply of crap so you don't have to make another trip on the next project.
@@georgesimpson3113 yep that's why I have 3 pair wire strippers ;)
I hope you get more snow so you can give it another test. How many inches of snow would you plow before you would switch to a snow pusher or a blower?
Me too! You could get by with a plow for any snow if needed. Merry Christmas!
I have a question, do you know what type of blades would work well for my 38inch box scraper? I mainly use it for gravel and dirt. Great video
I would stick with steel for the box blade.
Once again, another great video. I do have a question though. So, you replaced the original carriage bolts with regular bolts with fender washers, correct? You mentioned they were 1 1/2 inches long. Might I ask, what size they were? It looks like 3/8 but its hard to tell. Thanks again for posting this recommendation as I plan to go this route as well.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Good Morning, Yes, 2 different sizes since I had the wing extensions. If I recall, the bolts on the main plow were 8mm coarse while the extensions were 3/8". I may have that backwards, but think that's correct. Merry Christmas!
@@GoodWorksTractors And a Happy New Year as well
The way you drilled the cuttin edge, you don't have much room to grind down before they have to be flipped over. I would buy an inch wider piece so it will last longer, or drill your holes higher
Who do you buy the UMHW from?
Slick neon sign, need one for my barn. Where’d ya score that?
Yes really think I need one.
A guy on Facebook marketplace makes them. Unfortunately he doesn't ship though. It is really cool, I love it!
Good Works Tractors is he a Michigan fella? Work takes me all over the state.
It was posted in Ohio, but ended up having a partner here in Michigan so I was able to pick up here in Kalamazoo.
After New year's you will get some more snow
I sure hope so! Merry Christmas Don!
Hey Courtney - Do you have an update on the cutting edge? Do you still like it? Is it worth getting one?
Hey Russ, only had a handful of opportunities. Been a bad winter as far as snow goes. However, I'm very glad I did it for several reasons. It is super quiet, I feel like I'm protecting my drive a lot more, and I don't have to worry about rust stains. I don't think it cuts through packed snow as well as steel, however I think it's pretty darn close.
@@GoodWorksTractors Thanks so much for the update! I think I am going to order the one from Heavy Hitch that is pre-drilled and cut to John Deere specifications. Do you have an affiliate link to them so I can help out your channel?
Super long term test a year later, how is the edge holding up now
It looks like you went with the 1/2” thick by 2” wide version? Do you have an idea how far your bolt holes are from the edge of the plow blade itself?
I want to put one on the 54” plow on my ATV. The manufacturer sells one, but it’s 3/4” thick (which I think is too much) and very expensive. I talked to the seller you got yours from and he has 2” and 4” widths, but the OEM one is 3”. I’m trying to figure out if I can get away with the 2” or if I need to step up to the 4” (which I worry may be too wide to sit flush).
Yes, I went with 2"...I think it was only a 1/4" overhang for the bottom edge. I matched it up with whatever the steel edge had for overhang.
Good Works Tractors Thanks! I just ordered the 2”. I took a closer look at my plow and with that size I should definitely have some overhang. I don’t know how much is the right amount, but I’ve got to figure you don’t want a ton or there will be a lot of extra force on it.
In case anyone comes across this, I just mounted the 1/2”x2” undrilled bar from the eBay seller on my 54” Warn ProVantage plow.
I drilled 1/2” holes vertically centered. There is one right in the middle of the bar, and then 3 on each side at 8”, 16”, and 26” from the center. I opted to use the old steel bar on top and sandwich the UHMW one so the clamping force would be more even and so I could use carriage bolts like before. I couldn’t find M10-1.5 carriage bolts locally so I went with 3/8”. The originals are 1” so I went to 1.5” to account for the thickness of the new bar. Like before I used nylon lock nuts but decided to add washers as the nuts were smaller in overall diameter than the originals.
We don’t have any snow in the forecast, but I’m sure I’ll get to try it out before the season is over. If not, I won’t be that disappointed.
Steve W someone just came across it, lol. Great idea with the steel bar sandwich
9th Merry Christmas !!
Merry Christmas Mark!
@@GoodWorksTractors Thanks !
That plastic looks beefy next to the steel .
Yeah, I'm curious to see how well the edge holds up over the course of the winter.
Just a note, but plastic is NOT harder than steel. Not sure where you got that but that is completely false. If it were harder, you would be damaging your driveway even more.
Good catch! The listing I purchased from as well as a couple of websites listed things along these lines. Upon looking a little further, I wonder if they are referencing the strength to weight ratio? Looks that is commonly listed as being significantly stronger for it's weight compared with steel? I also see the it listed as having much better wear resistance. Perhaps that's what they are associating with hardness? Dunno. Or, could be a slip of the tongue so to speak.
It doesn't wear as fast but glides better.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas my Eastern Michigan Bud !
Merry Christmas!!!
