I cut a piece to 56" and bolted it to the top of all my atv plows. You can even find some rubber heavy enough at your local hardware store, sold by the foot. I dont know what the top of the Razor plow looks like, but it may work for ya...

I lied this rubber material is actualy off my Meyers plow. I buy it from a plow supply company every couple of years in 30' peices. @ about 3$ per ft, but with the cost of oil, this stuff is around 5$ a foot. As long as the Razor plow as the flat top edge on it this will work well. Let me know...If you are like me those boxes will arrive at 10 am and if the wife is in a good mood it will be on by 7 pm..LOL[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

copy and paste the above for a description of the Razor. i still don't know why they refer to it as a 56" when i put a tape on mine and it reads 60"
oh well,
chalk it up to Polaris QUALITY CONTROL! LOL!

I now understand. I used to have a blade just like that. It was on my old John Deere farm tractor(old,old made by a company called Plow-pro),and it did have a flap on it. If you install it in one peice, and let it sag in the middle. Then once you install all the bolts, you take a razor blade and cut the flap across dirrectly in the middle. Then you overlap the peices about 3" and install a bolt or two with washers to hold them together. That will raise the center up. It used to work awesome, and the tractor onlywent about 15 mph. With an atv I think it would work even better.

Hey MT, I just got my razor so I have no experience with it. Does the snow fly over the top where you would want to put a rubber flap on it?

too much work for me to fiddle around to put the rubber flat on.

Just a followup on my new Glacier Razor which I received from BreeseLawnGarden off of Ebay in a timely fashion with significant savings over stealer price (saved $160).
It was a snap to install although it took 2 hours to complete. I took a lot of time removing all of front end dressings to access new nut for frame mounting plate in front of radiator. I took my time [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img].
Got to use it for the first time this morning, we received 3 " of very heavy and frozen sludge this morning. Worked like a dream! Had so much fun ended up doing 2 of my neighbors drives too. I was amazed at how slow you could go, I was under the impression you had to get up some running speed to get things moving. Thank Gawd for low end power! Granted it was only a couple of inches of snow but we've had about a week of 50 degree weather with heavy rains yesterday and so overnite cold air came in and turned it to snow. After I finished, I was amazed to see how heavy and frozen the snow was when I was shoveling in front of driveway. When I was plowing, it felt like it was fluffy powder!
I'm confident It will perform equally well with over a foot of snow on the ground. If you are thinking of getting one, but are worried about the quality for the price, don't hesitate to buy one of these. It takes like 30 seconds to hook up or disconnect it too. Bonus!
