Hi used poly pipe on a powerfab lasted several years, but only used for own work if was for commercial use then might not be as good
I found that the solvent pipe is harder than the push fit

Hi againĀ 
I made a grading ā€˜blade’ out of an old oxygen bottle cut top and bottom off then cut lengthways to size (depth) welded frame to fit with pinsĀ 
Lasted without any wearĀ
