Vertical cutting edge on a snowplow.
May Wes UHMW Poly Snow Blades are available for snowplows, snow pushers, box plows, and buckets. We custom cut and drill them to your specification right here in our Hutchinson, Minnesota, plastic fabrication shop. We offer UHMW poly blades in 4″, 6″ and 8″ widths and 3/4″, 1″ and 1 1/2″ thicknesses. We can make poly blades as long as 119″. Poly blades longer than 94″ will be seamed to save you on shipping, unless you request them not to be seamed.
How to Order Your UHMW Poly Snowplow Cutting Edge
Ordering poly cutting edges is easy. You can order them online, through your local May Wes dealer or give us a call at 1-800-788-6483.
We just need to get a couple of details from you:
- How long of a poly blade do you need?
- How wide of a poly blade do you need?
- How thick of a poly blade would you like? We recommend 3/4″ to 1″ for personal use and 1 1/2″ for commercial use. The thicker you go, the longer it will last.
- Is your snowplow a vertical plow like on a pickup truck, box plow or snow pusher, or is it a horizontal plow like on a tractor bucket? We bevel the cutting edges for horizontal applications and counterbore the holes.
- If you want us to drill the holes, we will need the measurement from the edge of the plow to the center of each hole
- We normally drill the holes down the center of the cutting edge so you can flip the cutting edge when one side wears down, unless you specify otherwise.
- Would you like to order poly blade hardware kits from us?
We can make your custom snowplow cutting edge and get it shipped out the door in just a couple of business days.

UHMW Snowplow Cutting Edge for Plows, Buckets, Snow Pushers, Box Plows – Protects Pavement During Snow Removal
A long winter of snowplowing can leave your driveway and parking lot scuffed and scratched. Avoid this expensive and unsightly snow removal damage with a May Wes UHMW Poly Cutting Edge.
We custom manufacture your UHMW poly snowplow blades right here in our Hutchinson, Minnesota plastic fabrication shop. We offer a very fast turnaround time and can typically ship cutting edges within a couple of business days (lead times are longer during the fall harvest).
May Wes UHMW Poly Cutting Edges are available unbeveled for vertical applications such as snowplows, snow pushers and box plows, and beveled for horizontal applications such as skid steer and tractor-mounted buckets. We also offer optional CNC hole drilling. On vertical poly blades, we normally drill straight holes unless you request counterbored holes. On horizontal poly blades, we counterbore the holes so hardware is recessed. We also sell mounting hardware. If you would like us to drill the holes for you, we need you to provide measurements for each hole on center and measured from the edge of the plow. Be sure to measure twice and very carefully because a fraction of an inch can throw off all of your holes (Please watch our videos below for measuring instructions). Unless you specify otherwise, we normally drill the holes down the center of the poly blade so you can flip it over when one side wears out. If you choose to drill your own holes, you can do so using a woodworking drill bit.
May Wes UHMW Poly Cutting edges are available in 3/4″, 1″ and 1 1/2″ thicknesses and 4″, 6″ and 8″ widths. Lengths are cut to your specification. Cutting edges that are 94″ or longer are normally cut in half to reduce shipping costs. If you require a full length seamless cutting edge longer than 94″, we can manufacture them up to 119″ long. LTL freight shipping rates will apply for poly blades 94″ or longer, or you can pick them up at our plastic fabrication shop in Hutchinson, Minnesota. In addition to poly cutting edges, we also manufacture custom UHMW plastic parts for snow pushers and box plows, including snow pusher and box plow poly skid shoes, UHMW bushings and UHMW spacers.
Installation is very easy. Simply remove your metal cutting edge, scrape off any debris and bolt your May Wes UHMW Poly Cutting Edge on.
UHMW Poly Cutting Edges Outlast Urethane and Rubber Cutting Edges
UHMW is an extremely slick and durable plastic and has excellent abrasion resistance. This is the same material we use to manufacture C&A Pro high performance snowmobile skis used by professional snocross racers including Elias Ishoel and snowmobile daredevil Levi LaVallee. May Wes UHMW Poly parts have been used on agricultural equipment since the early 1970s, and include UHMW skid shoes and G4 Stalk Stompers. UHMW is tough, durable and can withstand extreme cold.
UHMW Poly Cutting Edges are Superior for Residential, Commercial and Municipal Snow Removal:
• Heavy-Duty, High-Impact Virgin UHMW Plastic
• Non-Stick Surface Reduces Snow & Debris Build-Up
• Excellent Abrasion Resistance
• Withstands Severe Winter Temperatures
• Will Not Scuff Pavement
• Much Quieter than Steel
• Lightweight and Easy to Install
• Reduces Shock to Equipment and Operator on Uneven Pavement
• Quick Turn Around Time
• Widely Used by Commercial Plowing Services, DOTs and Municipalities

Compression Molded UHMW Plastic Cutterbar Skid Shoes for Case IH, New Holland, MacDon Drapers Now Available from May Wes
May Wes is excited to introduce our new compression molded UHMW cutterbar skid shoes for Case IH, New Holland and MacDon Drapers.
Manufactured from slick and durable 3/8” thick virgin UHMW poly, the new cutterbar skid shoe measures 6” X 6.5” and fits Case IH 2162/2152/2142, New Holland 82C/83C/84C/86C and MacDon FD1/D1/FD75/FD70/D65/D60/D50/974/973 drapers. It replaces OEM part numbers 120546, 129297 and 87532221. Priced at $11 each or $105 for a 10 pack, the May Wes molded cutterbar skid shoe is much less expensive than OEM. The skid shoe is compression molded in May Wes’ Hutchinson, Minnesota compression molding shop. The skid shoe is pre-drilled; hardware is not included.
Celebrating 50 years of service in 2022, May Wes pioneered the application of poly to the agricultural industry. We manufacture UHMW poly skid shoes for a wide range of headers, including Case IH, New Holland, John Deere, Claas, Lexion, Caterpillar, and Gleaner/Massey. May Wes uses only virgin UHMW plastic to manufacture our skid shoes, rather than inferior recycled plastics. This results in a more durable, slicker and longer-lasting skid shoe. May Wes skid shoes allow operators to run their head and cutterbar as low as possible without pushing and piling soil, resulting in more crop in the combine, even in wet, sticky conditions.
May Wes Poly Skid Shoes are available at www.maywes.com; or order by phone at 1-800-788-6483 or purchase through local May Wes authorized dealers.
