What do snow plow skid shoes do?
1. Snowplow shoes are perfect when plowing gravel driveways. When adjusted to the appropriate height the plow shoes will prevent your cutting edge from digging into the gravel driveway, which will make you lose your snow and bounce you around in the truck a little.
2. Snowplow shoes can help reduce the wear on your cutting edge. Cutting edges are expensive and can wear quickly. Having your snowplow shoes adjusted to the same height as your cutting edge can help slow down the wear on your cutting edge.
3. Snowplow shoes can be removed easily so you can selectively choose to take the skids on or off based on the type of surface you are plowing, how hard you want to scrape, if the property was just recently repaved or even at the request of the property owner/manager.
4. Snowplow shoes usually come standard on straight blade plows and are usually optional on V-plows.
5. Snowplow shoes are perfect to use for plow storage. You can insert the shoes and let the plow blade rest vertically instead of just laying it on the ground.
