Abstract
A plow edge having improved durability and performance is provided which can comprise an elastomeric material, for example, a styrene elastomeric material. The present disclosure provides a plow blade edge system for mounting to a mold board of a plow comprising an adapter blade including a bottom edge having a carbide insert along a portion of the bottom edge; an elastomeric blade selectively reversible to present first and second edges; a clamp bar wherein the clamp bar is mounted to the adapter blade with the elastomeric blade secured therebetween; and, the elastomeric blade secured selectively in a first position or a second position.

A plow blade edge system for mounting to a mold board of a plow comprising:
- an adapter blade including a bottom edge having a carbide insert along a portion of said bottom edge;
- an elastomeric blade selectively reversible to present a first edge and a second edge;
- a clamp bar wherein said clamp bar is mounted to said adapter blade with said elastomeric blade secured therebetween;
- and,
- said elastomeric blade secured selectively in a first position or a second position.
A method for replacing an existing plow edge with an elastomeric plow edge comprising:
- mounting at least one adapter blade to a mold board;
- attaching at least one planar elastomeric plow edge segment to the at least one adapter blade;
- and,
- connecting at least one clamp bar to the at least one adapter blade wherein the at least one planar elastomeric plow edge segment is secured between the at least one adapter blade and the at least one clamp bar in a selected first position.
A plow blade edge kit for mounting to a mold board of a plow comprising:
- an adapter blade including mounting holes for mounting to a mold board;
- the adapter blade further includes mounting bushings;
- an elastomeric plow blade including holes for placing on the mounting bushings selectively in a first position and a second position;
- a clamp bar having holes aligned with the mounting bushings;
- and,
- a plurality of fasteners passing through the mounting bushings for securing the clamp bar to the adapter blade whereby the elastomeric plow blade is mounted between the clamp bar and the adapter blade.
