Replaces the Following Deere Part Numbers
Steel OEM Wear Bar 5RD671691
Tivar Wear Bar 5RDF0097
End the pavement surface grinding and damage of the steel wear bar and steel shoes on the Frontier / Deere SB1280 Front or rear three point hitch Mounted snowblower.
As a result, we verify the specific dimensions of these blowers wear bars before we custom machine these wear bars out of UHMW to improve your snow blowers performance and function while replacing the steel wear bar.
The custom made UHMW wear bars include all corrosion resistant hardware to install on your blower.
Say Goodbye to Steel Abrasion on your pavement
Want to eliminate the steel from your Frontier SB1280 blower on your pavement and replace it with all UHMW wear surfaces? Replace the steel wear wear bar and steel blower shoes on your pavement with our UHMW pieces.
We offer Bolt on UHMW Blower Shoes, which are sold as a pair and include the mounting hardware. Requires three 1/2” holes in each the end of the blower, through your welded on blower shoes. Our UHMW shoes mount outside of the blower housing and are bolted to the end panels of your SB1280 blower with 1/2” corrosion resistant bolts with lock nuts. The shoes are double sided and adjustable.
The UHMW shoes are sold as a pair and also include all hardware to install.
Benefits of replacing the steel wear bar and shoes with our UHMW wear bar and shoe set include;
Stops the steel wear bar abrasion on the pavement which causes surface damage.
Ends the grinding and scraping noise of the blower on the pavement.
Protects the blower and the pavement from surface friction and wear damage.
No more rust on the floor, rust on the pavement and scraped off pavement surface sealers, garage floor paint and other other surface protection.
Makes the blower slide with far less friction, less noise, less wear on the steel and the pavement and less wear on the blower assembly.
Since the blowers slides much easier, it requires less power to push, allows lower engine RPM’s and can reduce tractor drive train stress and wear.
Some tractor owners report their machines push the blower so much better, they don’t need tire chains or other traction aids. This also reduces pavement wear as well as tractor and implement wear and tear.
We offer just what you want to buy to stop the pavement damage and protect your pavement from blower surface friction and wear.
A special Message about ordering these parts-
The SB1280 snowblower is a large blower which weighs nearly 1,200 pounds when mounted and ready for use. Frontier also makes the SB1280 blower in both a front mounted blower as well as a rear mounted blower for mounting on the rear 3 point hitch.
We custom machine the UHMW wear bar to obtain a long wear life, while we keep the blowers function at its highest levels. If you are going to be installing both the UHMW wear bar and UHMW shoes, we are going to make sure they provide the same height adjustment so you can keep the blower level and square on the pavement with use.
If you are installing the SBS UHMW wear bar and not the UHMW shoes, the wear bar will be machined to help stabilize the blower as much as possible and also lessen the blowers reliance on the steel blower shoes for side to side stability.
As a result, we custom machine the UHMW wear bar after
Confirming if your SB1280 Frontier blower is front mounted or rear mounted on your tractor.
Confirming some dimensions on your snow blower
Determining whether or not your blower is using the UHMW wear bar in conjunction with the SBS UHMW shoes.
if you are going to install both the UHMW wear bar and the UHMW shoes, we make sure to machine both the shoes and the wear bar so you can adjust your blower front to rear and side to side, to assure your blower is stable, runs squarely and enjoys a long wear life on the UHMW.
We will need to confirm some dimensions on your blower wear bar.
These dimensions can be obtained with a tape measure or similar method.
The blowers weight requires us to make the wear bar as thick as possible while maintaining the blowers function.
As a result, please allow 12 to 15 business days (M-F, excluding weekends, holidays, etc) from your confirmation of the blowers dimensions, for your order to be produced and shipped. These parts are expensive to produce and ship and we want to make sure you order is perfect for your machine. Thanks for your understanding on this important matter.
The photos are stock pictures of general UHMW wear bars and UHMW shoes. These are not the UHMW wear bar or UHMW shoes for this front mounted larger blower. Actual photos of the parts when produced, will be added to this listing. In the meantime, the photos are merely examples of other blower wear bars and UHMW shoes we produce and ship daily for our customers.

Common Questions and Answers
Q.1-Why do so many blower owners want to replace their blowers steel wear bar, steel shoes and switch to the UHMW material?
A. 1.- The steel wear edge and shoes damage the concrete and asphalt with each use. This leads to
costly pavement repairs
shortens the useful life of the pavement.
premature pavement repairs and replacement.
reduces the appeal and value of your property.
Q. 2.- Why is UHMW the best product to replace the steel wear edge and shoes on the snow blowers, snow plows and snow pushers?
A.2. - UHMW is Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene , which is the most wear resistant plastic composite material produced.
It is designed to be low friction and very durable
UHMW is the most wear resistant and strongest plastic based product in the world.
Q. 3.- How does the UHMW compare to mild steel which is often used on these blower shoes, wear bars, etc. in terms of durability, length of wear before needing to be replaced, etc?
A. 3.- To help extend our products wear life and delay its replacement,
Our UHMW products are designed and produced to be thicker and wider than the steel they replace.
Our parts are made specifically for each application to achieve the longest useful life, often for several seasons.
Of course, someone clearing a driveway which is a mile long will need to replace the wear bar sooner than someone who clears a driveway which is 400’ long.
Q.4.- What do you mean when you say your blower wear bars or your blower shoes are “Double Sided” or that they can be “inverted or reversed?”
A. 4.- We make our UHMW shoes to be double sided, so you can install the shoes, use them, adjust them as needed as they wear. When the first side is worn, unbolt the shoes, flip them over and put them back on the blower and start again. Its like getting two complete sets of shoes in each set of shoes you purchase.
Q.5.- Why would SBS, LLC make the blower shoes and many of the blower wear bars to be “Double Sided”? Doesn’t it make the shoes more costly?
A. 5.- We like to provide products which exceed our customers expectations. We are always seeking the “Best Solution”, not the cheapest and easiest way to do something. Using creative thinking, reducing wasted materials and using our production as efficiently as possible, allows us to produce shoes and wear bars that work great, last a long time and also stop the pavement friction and damage.
Q.6.- Why aren’t the snow blowers, blades and pushers made with these UHMW parts instead of steel, on their new machines?
A. 6.- Simple, it money. The UHMW material cost between 10x to 20x the cost of the steel it replaces. The higher the cost of the parts, the higher the selling price of the blower, blade or snow pusher.
Plus, companies who make the blowers, blades and snow pushers sell the wear parts and replacement parts. Their objective is to keep the price of the plow, blade or blower low and to sell replacement wear parts to their customers.
How our UHMW Wear Bars and UHMW Shoes are saving customers money.
Homeowners, Property Managers, Home Owners Associations and Commercial Property Investors are among those who are learning that the small investment to prevent surface friction and wear on their pavement when clearing snow and ice, is a very wise investment providing a great return.
When the pavement and the snow clearing implement both experience lower surface friction, these are the proven results of this lower friction contact.
The pavement surface experiences less wear, which means it delays the period between surface sealing on asphalt and concrete often by as much as 3 years.
The less wear means better surface integrity, which means fewer cracks and places for water to penetrate the surface.
Better surface integrity prevents moisture from penetrating the surface and resulting in fewer freeze / thaw cycles which damage the pavement.
When the pavement is smoother, its easier to maintain and safer for pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycle traffic and all who use the surface.
The lower friction clearing action avoids displacing previous pavement repairs.
This avoids duplicate pavement repair expense while also prolongs the future surface repairs.
Less friction on the blower, blade or pusher extends its useful life and delays wear edge and shoe part replacement and repairs.
When the implement is easier to push, the machine pushing the implement experiences improved traction. This means less tire spin, less surface friction between the tires and the pavement and less need for any traction aids like tire chains, Terra grips, etc.
Less tire spin, means more traction which means less time spent clearing snow, This extends tractor tire life since there is lower pavement surface friction. This saves tractor fuel, operator time, machine wear and tear and of course, pavement damage.
Its a win for all involved looking to reduce costs, prolong pavement life, keep the pavement and property visually appealing, extend machine and implement useful life and use less fuel, make less noise, reduce pavement clearing time and the list seems to go on and on…..
All of these benefits from the small investment made in the upgraded UHMW wear edges and shoes for snow blowers, snow plows, snow pushers, etc.. It’s no wonder those who switch to our low friction rubber and or UHMW wear bars and shoes never want to go back to their steel wear edges and shoes again……
The most common remark we hear from customers is “I wish I had switched to these UHMW Wear bars (or rubber wear edge) and UHMW Shoes long, long ago”…….
