BOSS makes a great plow but it needs a custom made rubber edge to protect the pavement and not cause any abrasion damage. This is the answer.
We offer a range of rubber plow edges and this one is our Standard Duty Plow Edge and Kit. Please see our Plow Kit Details page for a description of these products and the specific customer profiles for whom these products are created and produced.
We custom cut all of our plow edges and our mounting straps on computer controlled laser or water jet cutting machines to produce a superior product which will take your Boss plow to the next level.
Our Standard Duty Plow Edge* or Kit, comes complete with the following
(1) Rubber Plow Edges, 6” tall x 3/4” thick
UHMW Mounting Strap
Corrosion Resistant Coated Hardware Set
*(Edges Only do not include the UHMW Mounting Straps)
Plow Rubber Edge
This is a Single Layered Rubber Edge Product to meet the high demands and standards of the Standard Duty Kit.
1- 60” wide rubber plow edge 6” tall and 3/4” thick which is Double Sided
Our Plow edge material is machined with vertical adjustment slots to give you a wear edge which is double sided and allows for full adjustment in either vertical installation. When the first wear edge wears, you can adjust the wear edge to maintain the perfect amount of rubber below the plow moldboard.
The machined slots in the rubber edge make the installation easy and also make subsequent adjustments of your plow rubber very easy to keep the plow edge square across the base of the plow moldboard.
The manner in which these rubber plow edges are machined provides room for the hardware to clear the actual rubber, to prevent binding of the rubber with the hardware. This also provides limited horizontal adjustment of the plow rubber to keep these edges square and properly aligned on the plow moldboard.
Plow Edge Adjustments during use
As the bottom of the plow rubber wears over time with use, its a simple process to loosen the bolts and slide the edges down the plow face, to maintain the proper clearing material beneath the plow edge. We suggest confirming the plow rubber extension beneath the plow with a simple tape measure. Our machining process permits side to side adjustments as well as some vertical adjustments, to keep the wear edge square on the pavement.
When the first side of the rubber edges are worn down, its simply a matter of removing the hardware, removing the rubber edges, flipping them over and reinstalling them to start with a new side of the edges. Realigned after repositioning them, you start over with full material to begin the use of these second edges. This approach doubles the effective wear life and functional duration of these very robust rubber plow edges.
Plow Edge Strap
1- Custom machined UHMW Plow Edge Mounting Strap for maximum edge support, approximately 58” long, 2” wide and 3/4” thick. The plow strap is cut with square mounting holes for the strap to be secured to the plow with our carriage bolts and other hardware.
Our straps are purposely machined shorter than the plow moldboard’s entire width to provide protection for the plow edge and strap when the plow is angled during use. We want the ends of these straps to be set back from the edge of the actual plow rubber, to provide a protection zone on each side of the plow, should the plow edge strike any solid or fixed objects.
This allows the ends of the plow rubber to flex and absorb impacts during use, while not directly impacting the straps which secure the plow rubber to the moldboard.
Our UHMW straps can’t rust, won’t bend and won’t be easily damaged as this material is some TOUGH stuff. . Never needs to be painted or powder coated, the straps are a solid black color.
Our straps are purposely made in sections, to make the handling, installation and shipping of these straps simpler by keeping the strap length down to half or another fractional length of the plow entire width. The sections are marked for easy installation. Using these sections also provides easier adjustment of the plow edge at installation and periodically during its use.
Hardware Set Includes
Full Set of Corrosion Resistant Coated Hardware of 5- 1/2” Carriage bolts with flat washers and Nylock Nuts. The hardware is specifically chosen to provide maximum clamping strength to secure the plow straps holding the plow edges in place.
A special note about working with Corrosion Resistant Coated Hardware.
Its important to always lubricate the hardware with a lubricant such as silicone spray or other suitable hardware lubricant. The lubricant protects the hardware threads against galling or heat from the surface friction when tightening the hardware. Lubricating the hardware is also important in the proper torquing of the hardware for proper clamping and holding strength.
It’s also important to avoid using impact tools for the hardware installation or removal as the operational speed of the impact can cause heat in the hardware threads. This heat can cause the corrosion coated finish on the hardware to gall or “cold weld”. This must be avoided to make the hardware remain fully functional and able to be reused as needed for plow edge adjustments, etc.
The impact tools also “pound” on the hardware in their normal operational function, as they tighten and loosen the bolts. This pounding builds heat in the hardware, along with the speed at which the impact turns the hardware. This heat from the tools operational speed is a leading source of the hardware damage from galling which leads to the hardware being “cold welded”.
This impact tool “pounding” can cause damage to the square shoulders on the mounting holes in the straps and reduce their proper holding and clamping strength. We suggest using hand tools to install the hardware to avoid the excessive speed and hardware pounding which the impact tools use in their normal operation.
Please follow the specific hardware torque specifications outlined in the detailed installation instructions included with the Edge Kit for best long term results.
Installation of your new Plow Edge and or Kit
Each edge or kit is shipped with detailed installation instructions.
Total installation time will depend upon each individuals mechanical experience, the work environment and tools used. But the typical edge kit installation is completed within 20 to 30 minutes or less, in most situations. Its really a very straight forward process.
Subsequent maintenance during plow use is to monitor the amount of rubber edge extending beneath the plow moldboard, checking to assure the edge remains properly aligned during use and keeping the hardware secured. Cleaning the plow and edge periodically to remove snow melt products and any dirt, etc is also suggested.
Typical wear duration for our plow edges is much longer than most people expect. Having our standard duty edges last for 300 to 400 driveway plows is very common. Our more robust edges provide even longer wear life.
Proper plow edge down pressure plays a vital role in the plows function and wear life. Avoid excessive down pressure on the plow edge as it simply wears the edge more rapidly than necessary as well as negatively impacting the tractors steering and control.
Store the plow between use with the plow supported by either its plow shoes or using another method. Allowing the rubber edge to be stored without plow weight on it, will extend its useful wear life and function.
We appreciate your interest in our products and encourage you to contact us with any questions or concerns. We are here to help.
A special THANK YOU to our customer Aaron, who kindly took the photos of his Boss Poly plow and the installation of our plow edge kit on his plow and Ditch Witch machine combination. These photos are very helpful and greatly appreciated. Well done, Aaron and thank you for kindly helping us with this project
