VEVOR Tractor Bucket Protector, 2pcs Ski Edge Protector, 12" Long Turf Tamer Skid Protector, 4" Width, Heavy Duty Steel Bucket Attachment for Snow Leaves Removal, Spreading Gravel, Yellow

This works pretty well for plowing snow with a tractor bucket. First off, you have to realize that snow plows will work better for pushing snow out of driveways. Tractor buckets do OK, don't follow the ground contour as well. But I can scrape the roadway end of the driveway and mailbox area much better with the tractor. And it does a decent job with the plowing, and faster than my snowblower. I found the 3/8" clamp bolts too flexible to adequately keep the shoes from moving around (but did not come off) so I drill/tapped the nuts to 1/2-13 and used some grade 8 bolts. Now they stay in place very well and I can drill for larger bolts if I need to. I was going to fabricate my own shoes but I saw these were cheaper than I could make. (I'm a retired fabricator/welder). Decently made - they appear to be AR-type steel; edges are a bit sharp; and welds are rough but they scrape the ground so they don't need to be "pretty". Definitely worth it if you want to plow snow with a tractor bucket. Probably good for a lot more but I haven't tried yet.Update 12/04/22 We used the shoes all last Winter to plow snow and they worked great. They never came loose after I "fixed" them. The only issue was that when I tried to backdrag, the shoe cut a shallow furrow in the gravel. But they never came loose. Further, we dug up and added gravel to the driveway this past Spring. The shoes on the bucket definitely help with smoothing it out.Don't expect "pretty", and do expect to rework the clamp screws. Like any machinery, you gotta work it within it's limitations, otherwise it will work you.

So these bucket protectors are nice and they work well, but the quality isn’t the greatest. When we received them, the paint was chipped and it looked as if they had been used prior to shipping. And yes, we did acknowledge that when the product was going to be used by us, it would get scuffed. But it was marketed as new, so we expected it to look new. Also one of the big screws were missing, rendering it unusable till we received that part. We contacted the company directly through their website (which mentioned their high quality products and service) and never heard back after multiple emails and phone calls. All we were asking for at the very least was another screw so we could simply use the product. Crickets…So thankfully Amazon had wonderful customer service as always and sent us a replacement product free of charge! The replacement is still the same quality, looks scuffed and used, has chipped paint. But it is usable and does function well when all pieces are included :)So overall I rate this a 4/5. The company sucks, but the product is ok. It functions well and that’s the most important thing!

I have a Kubota BX and the bucket protectors fit perfect to start with. The welds that most talked about were adequate and weld spatter was at a minimum . The steel was of good quality and size. Here is what I added to work with my bucket. Several reviews noted The poor paint job and that was true. I had a can of paint available from painting the bucket repair and gave the bucket protectors two coats. The other problem was the attachment plastic mounting bolts were inadequate I changed the bolts with two 10 mm bolts and a jam nuts the bolts were combined with two small 3/16” plates with counter holes for the mounting nuts to firm up the mounting to the bucket. The mounting took about 20 minutes and they fit and work well for half the price of others. I realize they are a consumables and they don’t need to be perfect they just have to do there job, and so far they do just that.

Like with many other reviews, I recommend you replace the bolt on this as soon as you get it! The included bolts are very weak and will bend easily when you try clearing snow and hit... well anything - or even if you just back up with the ski on the ground. I also suggest buying a washer and nut to put under the top flange and tighten against the flange to keep the welded nut from ripping out - mine didn't have that issue possibly thanks to the washer and nut below, but I read several reports of it doing so.The ski can take a good amount of abuse. Although, I managed to run one ski directly into a large, mostly buried rock hidden in the snow that was large enough to immediately stop my track loader and make me grateful I always put my seatbelt on since a little discomfort is better than being thrown out of the cab. The ski still survived with a small bend where it hit the rock and the top flange being bent up - easy enough to hammer back into shape and reinforce the welds so I can use it again.Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and they do well for plowing the gravel roads on my property!For a learning from my oversight before you do it yourself, I strongly recommend you walk the path you will be clearing when it's not covered and make sure no big rocks protrude at all, flagging any you do see so you avoid them when they aren't visible. Vevor also sells driveway markers that look like they'd be good for that, I plan to pick up a pack for marking road/driveway edges and hazards.

11.19.23. These blade lifts are super sturdy. Faster and cheaper than I could waste my time making. Haven't tried them yet other than trying them for fit on my blade. No snow yet.

First pair was missing the bolts. Had to drop product off to be shipped back and wait for another set.Second pair works good…only problem is the screw down bolt need to be stronger. It does bend easy. I will have to upgrade the bolts.BUT the welds are holding and it is getting the job done

Je m'en sert sur la pelle de mon tracteur pour enlever les couches minces de neige sans endommager le terrain. Fontionne trés bien jusqu'a présent. Reste a voir si les boulons de serrage vont tenir le coup car ils ne sont pas tellement robustes mais semblent tenir les patins en place pour l'instant.

These were purchased for my husband's new tractor. He likes how they work , especially when using the front loader.

Work as expect but become loose due to the small tightening bolt. Going to weld a T to the top to be able to hammer down. Still more affordable than like products

I had these on my skid steer bucket for half a hour. The weld came undone, bent the bolt . I would have thought it would be more heavy duty where it counts
