I plow gravel with a metal edge but here in PA once the ground freezes the gravel won't move, if we get an early snow I just leave the blade up a bit so it doesn't dig in.

So what's wrong with someone with less experience doing something easier to compensate for ability? Everybody has to start somewhere. Maybe a rubber edge would help gain the experience so that someone could become an expert and use a steel edge. I'm not arguing your point, I think you are correct, I just don't see it as a negative thing. So personal preference? Yes, but a personal preference is also based on experience level.

I wont be a know-it-all but for my use on concrete and asphalt my homemade rubber strip without skid shoes has worked great and no marks left on either surface. I have been around machinery for a lot of years and anytime you think you are a great operator there is usually someone out there that is as good or much better at doing the same job.

Stall Mat
I use a 6" wide strip cut from a stall mat on the 7' rear blade of my Massey. I cut it easily with a reciprocating saw and drilled the holes on the drill press. It has lasted for many years. Works great in the type of wet snow we usually get here in Maryland. I use it because it does not scrape the driveway sealer off the driveway. If not for the sealer I wouldn't bother. Not sure how it would work on my lighter cub blade, probably just fine.

This is how it came out. The rubber is 1" thick. Guess we'll see what happens this winter! This blade has been rigged by the previous owner I think. Some kind of extensions on the sides and who knows what else!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
