P1000 Denalli Pro plow shoes

[Kelldog]

I need the skid shoes lower than it is allowed with the shims. How do you guys who have rocky driveways make it work ? I have 3 inch rock not gravel

Here is a stock Denali pic from online.
If you have already moved everything from the top, to the bottom.
Then it's time for new shoes with a longer stem.

Or, like I do.
Drive over the first snows, to pack them down.
Once you have a good thick ice/snow pack, then you no longer need any shoes.

Have a good day

If you are able to fabricate stuff, you might consider a redesign, as the standard round plow skids would likely dig into a rock surface. I made the skids shown for my tractor front mount snow blower. This design wouldn't work for your plow, but the basic idea might. going over rocks would need more of an upturned front end, like a ski. (Mine in the pic use a simple bevel on the UHMW PE plastic, and have no need to pivot.) You'd need to have a vertical pivot pin about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way back from the front, so the skids will pivot and turn to track in your direction of travel.

Note I'm using UHWM-PE as it won't damage or mark pavers, concrete etc. It wears even better than steel, but it more expensive. I'm sure you'd be able to use steel skids and simply weld on hard face rod to replace wear as needed.

I have heard they are making UHWM blade edges that remove the need for the use of shoes.

The other thing you can do is use a piece of pipe. I’ve seen either plastic or steel used. Something like this.

This ^^. I have recommended this numerous times, even on BIG plow blades.
