The search function not working, this has probably been asked before.
I'm wondering what you are doing to keep snow from packing onto the blade? Mine will pack so thick it will hardly lift up.
I'm looking at a plastic liner that Western sells for my plow. Do they work good?
I guess I should mention the roads we do are all gravel, and it has worn all the paint off the blade. My concern with the plastic is it will get scared up and snow will stick to it?
What should I do?
Thanks,
p/t

yes it comes in a spray can you can get it at any john deere dealership. and you can get a free sample if you pm Dano50 on here.

Thanks for the tip! How often do you need to apply this? Once a day?

If you sanded your blade down and painted it, the snow wouldn't stick near as bad. I'm a big user of FF but have not seen too much of a benefit of using it to stop snow from sticking. Maybe are snow is less sticky hear, hopefully it works for you though.

The plastic liner is a better bet than fluid film. The liner is probley about $40 on ebay or a online snow plow part store, where fluid film is about $ 8 - 10 a can. And you have to spray it every time.

There is on on ebay now item number 260196664418 Or northerntool.com Item# 104081 for $ 29.99

Just my thoughts

Fluid film is good stuff, but won't keep the snow of your blade...

Paint the blade with Rustoleum...one quart will do. About $8 in Home Depot and you should get a year or two out of it! payup

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll start with the paint and see how long it lasts.

I'm assuming it's the brush on stuff. Is this correct?

Fleet pride is pretty sweet. I went to mine today, looking for some parts to rebuild a front drive shaft. No where had the right parts, they said they could go through the whole thing for 50 bucks in labor plus parts. SWEET. Definitly not my last experience there.

How often do you get snow in New Mexico? Sorta funny seeing a plow truck surrounded by mosquite trees

I had my blade sand blasted and I painted it with rustoleum and the snow sticks to it like glue. Paint it and put the shield on it.

Interlux VC-17m I always wondered how this would work on a plow
it has Teflon in it. They have it in RED

 

[Dondestro]

I painted mine with rustoleum then gloss rustoleum clear coat and it worked great

this is my shield after three seasons. very rarely does any snow stick, if it does after on good slam down it is off.
