The appropriate number and width of Edge Tamers depends on several variables, including the weight of the tractor and the width of the bucket. The following are rough guidelines:
- Up to 24hp (usually ~48" bucket), two 3" wide
- Up to 30hp (usually ~60" bucket), three 4" wide
- Up to 50hp (usually ~72" bucket): four 4" wide
- 60hp+ or 84"+ bucket: two to four of the 6" wide
- Skid steers with single cutting edges: four 4″ units
Note
These are rough guidelines; for example if pushing snow on a gravel driveway with a large crown, you may want to have an Edge Tamer in the middle of the bucket in addition to the ones on each side, to avoid digging into the crown. Further, for especially soft or saturated ground, conditions may require an additional Edge Tamer.
