Tractor Surface Saver Snow Plow Cutting Edges

Polyurethane cutting edges significantly outlast rubber — often by up to five times — and display far higher abrasion resistance. UUP’s Surface Saver™ formulation is engineered specifically for plowing, with:
5× higher abrasion resistance than rubber

• A brittle point of –30°F, preventing cracking in extreme cold
• Enhanced tear resistance that reduces chunking and edge failures
• Polyurethane outperforms rubber by a wide margin and rivals steel in many moderate-duty applications, all while offering gentler surface contact.

For operators who want longer service life, UUP offers multiple thicknesses (.5”, 1", 1.5", 2") and wider blade heights (6", 8", 10", 12") that allow you to drop and flip the blade midlife — effectively doubling the usable wear surface.

• Choose the Right Thickness: Heavier tractors benefit from thicker, more abrasion-resistant profiles.
• Flip to Extend Life: The reversible design provides two usable wear edges, doubling service life.
• Monitor Wear Patterns: Polyurethane wears gradually and evenly, especially UUP’s Surface Saver™ compound.
• Replace Before Critical Wear: Prevent bolt exposure and maintain plow frame protection.

Polyurethane is significantly gentler than steel, making it ideal for surfaces where appearance and structure matter. Because polyurethane conforms to surface variations instead of chipping into them, it helps preserve expensive pavement structures and reduces long-term maintenance costs for municipalities and property owners. UUP’s Surface Saver™ edges will not damage:

• Brick streets
• Stamped concrete
• Asphalt and concrete roads
• Cobblestone
• Speed bumps
• Runway lights
• Reflectors
• Manhole covers
• Curbs

The flexible urethane composition glides over uneven surfaces and raised obstacles, protecting both the plow and the surface beneath it.

Polyurethane absorbs vibration and eliminates the sharp scraping noise associated with steel edges. The qualities of UUP’s polyurethane also reduce transmitted shock loads through the plow frame, extending the service life of mounting hardware and hydraulic systems.

This makes UUP’s edges the preferred choice for:

• Residential neighborhoods
• Hospital campuses
• Apartment complexes
• College campuses
• Hotels and noise-sensitive environments

Reduced vibration also means less operator fatigue and less stress on equipment components.
