What do you guys use to stop snow from sticking in front end loader buckets, snow blowers, and on rear blades?

I went to John Deere and asked for slippery paint
Got a qt. for about $12 for my mower deck ,might work on a snow bucket. It has graphite in it.

Check with your local custom paint mixer outfit. They have some real expensive epoxy paints that will make anything slide off a ducks back. The old cans you could buy were called "iT" The local industrial supply house should have silicone spray in cans but you need to be very careful with the stuff. NEVER spray it near your vehicle's air intakes. NEVER- NEVER-NEVER!!! You will end up with no Ox sensors for your polution controls. The neighbor does a lot of contract plowing and his body painter friend got some "hot" county truck epoxy paint. It does wear out too but it does work well for several snows. Like an old dirt plow, totally bear polished metal is the best. Ice skates and the bottom of olympic tobogan runners are straight metal or have wax. Let's hear from some others out there. I will agree, nothing sticks like RUST! Jeffcat

Interesting about the O2 sensor. Years ago I had a job fixing huge Kodac duplicators. They used a thick silicon oil on the heat rollers to stop the paper and tonner from sticking. This stuff was super slick. I co woker tried it in his lawn mower and it burned it up in no time flat. Silicone spray wreaks hovoc on futur paint jobs as well.

First off don't keep the bucket inside a warm building . I tried Pam cooking spray once and it worked for a day on a plow blade , but expensive . Silicone spray as mentioned in another post works for a while also . You might try calling the county engineer and asking what they use on their blades if anything . I can't think of the name right now but the spray on graphite that's used to slick up planter boxes and grain augers might work ( just thought of it - Lubri-plate ) Anybody ever tried that ? The best thing I would guess is keeping the inside of the bucket painted with a high - gloss paint just like the county trucks do . Everything sticks to rust ! Good luck ! ...Randy

anytime i change the oil in my trucks or whatever, i dump some on the surface of the plow and the bucket too. it works, although after a day of plowing its kinda gone.

they make a spray to use inside snow blower chutes, it is just basically a spray silicone type of stuff, i`d use that or some kind of a spray wax .
