Haven't had time to use them yet. Looks to be a good product. Can't wait to use them.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Rob Henning, (local to where I live) and he helped enlighten me with some items that R2 manufactures and other uses for the extenders and tamers. I purchased 2 - 3" tamers with extenders The tamers and extenders are very well made and come with all needed hardware and are made in the USA. I have a bucket on my compact tractor and plan to use the extenders to help me carry the broken limbs from the recent wind storms, The extenders are rated for 300 lbs each. Also the tamers with their wide foot print will help me to skim my lawn to pick up leaves in the fall. R2 Manufacturing also makes tamers for attaching to snow blowers with poly skids that will glide over uneven concrete driveways and I look forward to purchasing a set before next winter. It will be interesting to see what they come up with next.
I waited well over a month, then the order got here and were the wrong ones, I wanted bolt on not bolt in, they were not cheap, I was so mad I gave them to my brother, not happy
I purchased a set of 6” edge tamers to mount on my tractor bucket for general use around my farm and for snow removal purposes . It took a few weeks to receive them as they were back ordered but that tells you they are in demand. When I received my order I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are manufactured out of 1/2 steel and powder coated. Extremely heavy duty and extremely well made with high quality welds and paint finish. They are not cheap but you absolutely get what you pay for! American made quality built to outlast the bucket they are mounted on. They do exactly what they are intended to do. I handle a lot of horse manure and woodchips on my farm and they make pushing up piles without tearing up the ground around them effortless. I plowed snow on our stone driveway without the issue of tearing up the stone. I couldn’t be happier with my edge tamers and if you’re considering purchasing your own, just go ahead and purchase a set for yourself. You absolutely will not regret it!
I like the Hitch Tamer and as a welder myself the edge tamer was welded correctly and sliped onto my Kubota bucket perfectly, great service and great people to deal with.

I cleared a parking lot from the last snow and, because I didn't have Edge Tamers, I now have a fairly sharp bucket. I have since ordered and installed them and I couldn't be happier with the product! Solid construction; easy to install and remove; works as advertised.
Wasn't sure what I needed; however, Rob brought me from darkness to light in what was required for my Kubota MX6000 tractor. Happy camper to say the least.
The 4” edge tamers and plastic “shoes” for asphalt are of the highest quality. All made in the USA. They take pride in their products. Awesome people to deal with!!
Highly recommended!!
Would probably be interested in the ball attachment but didn't see where it was offered
A solid well made product
Shipping was well handled.
We have both the edge tamer and trash tamer. These are well built and very functional. Who would have thought we would get excited to plow snow or take the trash out. Great products without breaking the bank!
Super fast shipment. Super impressive with the quality of everything I purchased!
R2 Manufacturing has always been very fast with their delivery. I love the Edge Tamers, they prevent my yard from getting dug up. The poly pads add protection for my blacktop driveway. This weather has kept me very busy and the edge tamers with the poly pads have more than paid for themselves!
The edge tamer seems to be well constructed and sturdy enough for what I intend to do with it, but as yet, I have not had an opportunity to utilize it.
I bought 3 different items for my tractor’s bucket with 2 of them I would rate 5-star. But the bucket extensions is what I was very disappointed with. From pictures, I expected them to be somewhere around 24 to 30 inches long. They were only about 12 inches which results in very little bucket extension!
Hi Gerald - yes, only 12', which is useful for picking up most things. Keep in mind that 12' is in addition to some extra distance already granted by the Edge Tamers themselves. They are not meant to be used as pallet forks, which is what would inevitably happen if we did make them that long. I hope that makes sense, and thank you for the feedback!
I've owned the Edge Tamera for a couple of years. They work great on my gravel driveway. I can clear a path through my yard to my outbuilding without tearing up the grass. I also have the trailer hitch attachment. It makes moving my trailers around the property very easy. I highly recommend these products.
I havr not installed the parts yet but the company has gone above to make sure I got the right parts
