Rod, Here in Wis. we have the same problem. On my snowplows that I use in sand country I have added an piece ot 4" to 6" angle iron with one edge bolted to the cutting edge in place of 3 or 4 of the bolts that hold the cutting edge on. The other side of the angle iron goes back under the blade. Because of the curve of the blade this holds the angle iron so that the front corner is 1" to 2" above the ground and force the blade to ride leaving a inch or so of snow on the drive and prevents digging in. It works well for me. Hope it helps you.

That is a grate idea I will have to use it I just wont to clear up a few things do you remove the blade or bolt the angle right over it and is that 1 solid peace of angle that goes across the hole blade or just 2 small sections thanks Rod MI

On my blades the "cutting edge" is held to the blade by 6 or more bolts. I take out about every second one. Line up the angle iron - slightly oversized holes predrilled - and put longer bolts through the angle iron, cutting edge, and blade and put lock washers and nuts on. That way I can take the angle iron off easily if I want to. leaving the cutting edge on helps stiffen the blade. I use angle iron across the entire blade so I don't miss any possilbe high spots as I plow. I use one piece angle irons on the 6' & 7' blades and two pieces - with about an 1" gap between to make it easy to put on - on the 8' to 10' blades. Ask if you have more questions.
