“What snow removal blade material will serve me best?”
When it comes to snow blade attachments for your skid steer or compact track loader, there are three different materials to choose from: rubber, steel, and poly.
Rubber Blade Edges
Rubber-edged snow blades and plows do an exceptional job of removing snow and ice quietly and with very little risk of damaging paved surfaces or objects—think squeegee versus shovel. These rubber-edged blades work best for more loose materials—such as slush or fresh snow. These benefits may be offset a bit by cost as well as maintenance, making it important to carefully consider a rubber-edged blade’s specifications and tolerance ratings.
Steel Edged Blades
Steel-edged snow blades can be loud and damage certain objects or paved surfaces. While true, steel-edged snow blades are the most rigid blade options and least prone to wear. A high-quality steel blade can outlast many of its poly or rubber counterparts while plowing through even hard-packed slush, snow, and ice. Still, as mentioned before, steel blades require increased focus and control to avoid damaging structures and surfaces.
Poly Blade Edges
Between rubber and steel blade options you have poly—the industry term for polyethylene, a form of robust plastic. This plastic is typically recycled ultra high molecular weight (or “UHMW”) polyethylene. Poly blades provide many of the protective qualities of a rubber-edged blade with the rigidity and “bite” of steel-edged blade models. Quieter than steel-edged blades, poly blades are likely not as resistant to wear as their steel counterparts. With that being said, poly blade edges are especially good at moving sticky snow due to the slick texture of the material. All of this means reduced resistance and better fuel economy for your skid steer.
