Pipe Scrapes Snow Off Uneven Areas
 ✖  |
Keith Myers' father, Ray, came up with the idea of putting a pipe on the bottom of his snow blade to skim snow off the grass on his private airfield. Keith says the idea could be used anywhere you have to push snow over yards or other uneven ground.
The problem is that the snowplow blades cut grass and dirt from uneven higher spots.
"This damages the surface and come spring when the snow melts, these ęscalped' areas are often muddy. The pipe lifts the plow when it encounters any high spots on the surface yet leaves about the same amount of snow on the surface as a conventional plow with properly adjusted skid shoes."
Keith attaches a piece of 2-in. dia. pipe split the long way over the bottom edge of the blade. When worn down, he replaces or rebuilds it with a welder.
