Edge Tamer®
Description
Meet the Edge Tamer®, the original bucket protector that makes tractor work easier, cleaner, and more precise. Whether you’re plowing snow, pushing leaves, hauling mulch, or clearing brush, the Edge Tamer® helps you keep your bucket off the ground for a smooth, damage-free finish. Installation is quick and tool-friendly: no drilling required, just tighten with a simple ratchet. Our patented U.S. design (#9,133,599) is built to last and compatible with a full line of attachments, including the Hitch Tamer, Edge Extender, Trash Tamer, Bucket Extender, and the Poly Pad surface protector.
Need something bigger? Try our Heavy Duty 6” model, made from ½” steel for extra strength. Note: accessories are only compatible with the 3" and 4" Edge Tamers, not the 6"
Have a bolted-on cutting edge on your bucket, or even just the holes for one? Try our Bolt-On Edge Tamers®, which have a universal fit for cutting edge cases, whether installed or not. Note: the 3" and 4" Bolt-On Edge Tamers come with 1/2" bolts.
