Frontier RB2309, RB2409 108" 3ph rear blade rubber Edges.
Includes Ground Shipping to Lower 48 States
If you have one of the following Frontier rear 3 Point hitch plows that is 108” wide, this listing is for the rubber edge kits for your plow.
Frontier RB2309 and RB2409
Frontier offers these two models of their 108” wide rear 3ph blades. These blades are all very heavy and require a plow edge designed to support the plows weight and the scraping forces being applied.
Plows in this category weigh from 1,300 pounds to 1,500+ pounds. This requires a properly made rubber edge to support this plows use in rough winter conditions. Our edges are made to be tough and are built for the plow. Its always important that the plows weight and its ability to apply down force on the blade be key factors in the designing of the plow edges.
Why you should replace the steel plow edge for use clearing snow on all types of pavement
All of these blades are sold new with the steel wear edge. This steel edge and the width and weight of the plow will cause surface abrasion and damage when used to clear snow or ice from pavement. This surface abrasion damage can become significant and require repair or replacement of the pavement.
We provide solutions which reduce and largely eliminate this surface friction. We use carefully selected rubber material to provide a range of choices to meet our customers plow use and snow clearing needs.
Hydraulic Down Pressure on the plow makes the surface friction even greater
Many of these larger 3ph plows are utilizing hydraulic top links as well as hydraulic angling cylinders. The hydraulic pressure increases the surface friction and accelerates the damage to the pavement. The best way to address the surface friction of this blade or any blade is to change the material which is actually cleaning the pavement.
Due to the size and weight of these Plows, we offer only our toughest and strongest plow edges for use on these plows. These are our Severe Duty / Commercial Duty Plow edges. Here is a description of these edges in our Rubber product materials for these plow edges.
Severe Duty / Commercial Duty Rubber Plow Edge Kit includes the following custom machined components
One 1” thick single layer Rubber Plow Edge
The 1” thick rubber edge is 8” Tall (top to bottom)
UHMW Mounting Straps, custom machined to hold the rubber edge and allow for vertical adjustment within the fixed position mounting holes in the rubber edge.
Corrosion Resistant Hardware for Installation
All Rubber Edges for these Plows are;
Made with two parallel rows of mounting holes, just above and below the plows horizontal center line.
The edge is first mounted in the row of holes closest to the bottom edge of the plow. After use and wear, the edge is lowered to the upper row of holes for continued use.
After more use and wear, the rubber edge is removed, flipped over and reinstalled to start with a new wear edge on that side of the edge.
Double sided so the plow can edge can be flipped over and the other side used when the first side is worn.
Plow Edge Kit or Plow Edge, which should I order and why?
The Plow Edge Kit is for new customers who are switching their plow from the steel blade to our rubber plow edge kit. Our Plow Edge Kits include the following when ordered;
Our custom machined, double sided rubber plow edge which is fully adjustable with vertical machined slots.
The custom machined UHMW Mounting Straps to secure the rubber plow edge properly and to provide full edge adjustment during use.
Corrosion Resistant hardware to install the rubber plow edge and UHMW straps on your plow blade.
Our Plow Edges are replacement rubber edges for those customers who are already using our Plow Edge Kits. When the rubber edge has reached the end of its life, you can purchase a replacement rubber plow edge and use the UHMW straps from the original kit to install the new rubber plow edges.
Other important details to be aware of.
Our edge kits and edges only, always ship with new hardware. I dislike working and fighting with rusty hardware, so our new edges and our kits ALWAYS ship with a full hardware installation set.
Our Severe Duty Kits and replacement Severe Duty Edges ship with Stainless Steel hardware. Top of the line edges deserve top quality hardware.
The Plow’s steel edge must be removed to install the new rubber plow edge kit. PLEASE be careful when handling the steel edges as they are VERY SHARP from pavement abrasion and VERY HEAVY due to their size. Make sure to get help to handle this large blade. Also wear gloves anytime you are handling the steel plow edge.
Rubber Edges to replace the Steel Plow Wear Edge
We have created replacement plow edges which are rubber to replace the steel plow wear edge. The benefit of the Rubber plow edges include;
Quiet snow removal without the surface grinding and pavement abrasion of the steel surface on either asphalt or concrete.
The Rubber plow edge cleans the surface more uniformly by contouring to the pavement better than the steel edge.
The Rubber edge will also remove moisture and water from the pavement surface that often will otherwise freeze and cause black ice.
Why the rubber edges are superior for clearing pavement of snow and winter weather.
Rubber plow edges excel at cleaning rough pavement surfaces.
They are less likely to damage or displace prior pavement surface repairs such as crack filling and sealing, potholes, etc.
The allow the blade to be used on grass areas, when used with care to limit the down pressure on the plow’s edge.
Preferred edge for scraping the edges of pavement where lawn and other surfaces adjoin, so the edges aren’t damaged as they usually are with the steel plow edge.
Gravel and Loose material displacement can be controlled more easily with the rubber plow edge. You still need to use caution and control the down pressure, but once the ground freezes, the blade is less likely to damage or remove the loose stones and material.
Asphalt surfaces are very vulnerable to large steel blades due to their sharp corners, edges and the blades weight. The rubber edge is much easier on asphalt surfaces and less likely to cause any damage.
There are Two times during the asphalts life cycle when it is particularly vulnerable to surface damage from a variety of objects. These two times are
when the asphalt is first laid and when it is still undergoing its natural curing process and
when the asphalt had been repaired with surface patching or crack filling.
Asphalt should always be cleared of snow and winter weather using a rubber plow edge to prevent unnecessary pavement surface abrasion or damage.
Specialty or Premium Driveway Finishes require special care
Any special pavement surface or finish should always avoid surface friction from any blade, shovel or other tool or implement which is cleaning the surface. Such specialty surfaces include, but are not limited to the following;
Brick pavers, Finished or Colored Concrete
Any surface with patterns or detailed surface finishes.
Just as you wouldn’t wash your vehicle with a Brillo Pad, you shouldn’t clear snow from your driveway with a steel or abrasive plow edge.
Common Questions and Answers about these UHMW and Rubber Edges on larger plows.
Q. 1. - Can a hydraulic top link be used with a plow that has a rubber plow edge replacing the steel plow edge?
A. 1. - Certainly. Just use the down force in moderation to avoid causing extra edge wear or possible surface damage. Applying unneeded down force doesn’t improve the snow clearing result, it just causes more wear on the edge.
Q. 2. - What about using a UHMW or Poly plow edge on the rear plow?
A. 2.- The UHMW is a great material for many surfaces but its poorly suited for use on rear 3ph plows because the plows operate in a very vertical position. This places the UHMW material flay on its edge, that causes the UHMW to “chatter” or “bounce” on the pavement. It’s a very frustrating and inefficient way to clear snow as the plow often feels like its fighting you. We discourage UHMW for rear 3ph blades to avoid this plow chattering on the pavement and the frustration which accompanies it.
Q.3. How long can the Rubber plow edge be used before needing to be replaced?
A.3. - Typically, the rubber plow edge will last the equivalent of 150 to 175 miles of straight line snow clearing before needing to be replaced. This means if you put on the new rubber wear edge on the plow and lowered the plow to the pavement to clear snow or ice, the plow edge would last the 150 miles of continuous clearing, before needing to be replaced. Of course, the down pressure applied and the surface type are going to be important variables in the process.
Bottom line, the rubber we use is special and wears very well when used properly. Just as the tires on your vehicle wear with surface friction, the rubber plow edge reacts the same way.
Q. 4. - Is it easy to replace the steel plow edge on these rear blades?
A. 4.- The steel plow wear edges are held in place with plow bolts The plow bolts can be removed with typical hand tools such as a ratchet and socket. Larger plows you will likely want to use an impact gun to remove the steel blade hardware due to its tightness.
Before attempting to remove any plow bolts, Make sure to spray all plow hardware with a good penetrating lubricant to allow it to work on any bolts which might be corroded or difficult to remove.
Q. 5. - What safety tips should anyone replacing a plows steel wear edge be aware of?
A. 5. The steel plow edge is sharp from rubbing on the pavement when previously used for snow clearing. Make sure to be aware of the result of surface friction on the plow blade. Also, wear gloves as not only will the plows steel edge be sharp from the surface abrasion, the steel edge is heavy. The 96” long steel plow edge on the Frontier Plows can weigh more than 100 pounds. Don’t underestimate this weight as it can lead to injury .
Also NEVER work under any tractor implement which is being supported by hydraulic lines or pressure. PLEASE make sure to provide safe support of any plow or implement you are working on before working around such equipment. Use locking jack stands or a similar support under anything which is lifted or held with a machines hydraulic pressure. You don’t want a hose or line breaking and allowing the implement to drop and cause injury or worse.
Q. 6. - Any other important reminders for those changing their steel plow edge?
A.6.- Yes, make sure the plow is painted and any bare metal is repainted to avoid rust. We don‘t want any rust to form on the plows face under the rubber or UHMW edge being installed on the plow. Also use care when handling the plow edge due to its weight and sharp edges, etc.
Plow Edge Kit versus a Replacement Plow Edge
Who should order the rubber Plow Edge KIT and who should purchase the rubber Plow Edge for their plow?
For customers who are removing their steel plow edge and installing our new rubber plow edge, they should purchase the PLOW EDGE KIT, as it includes the rubber plow edge, the UHMW straps to install the rubber edge on the plow and all of the hardware needed to properly install the edge.
The PLOW EDGE is for those who are already using our rubber plow edge and need a replacement rubber edge only due to wear, etc..
Our plow edge kits and plow edges ALWAYS ship with new hardware to make their installation and future adjustment during use trouble free.
Can you use the steel plow edge to mount and secure the rubber plow edge on a Frontier rear 3ph plow?
No, you must use the custom designed mounting straps to properly secure the rubber plow edge to the plow for best use and wear results. The steel plow edge is too long and also doesn’t provide the proper clearance under the plow for our rubber or UHMW edges to work.
What makes the UHMW straps the best solution for mounting the new rubber plow edge?
The UHMW straps are the right length and width to secure the rubber plow edge. Also, the UHMW straps are very strong, very dense in material, can’t rust, won’t dent or twist like steel straps and they also are very strong for absorbing impacts during use, but keeping the plow edge in place and secure.
Please note, the UHMW straps are designed for securing the rubber plow edge on your plow. They are not intended to be used to scrape the surface directly as they are not the proper size for such activity.
