SCRATCHERS

fish on alot of glare ice, i have a 2016 skandic 550fan wt sled, what do you guys recommend for scratchers, if any? thank you

You have a fan cooled sled so the only benefit of scratchers would be to keep your hyfax cool which may be cooled sufficiently merely by the carbides scratching the ice. However adding a set of scratchers wouldnt hurt. Ski Doo makes some good ones that folks with other brands actually buy to put on their sleds.

thanks capt musky, i will check them out, going to a snowmobile show friday

if you have reverse on your sled make sure you get a pair that are reverseable

Get the cable kind. They can go forward and backwards. I just leave them down for the whole season. No issues.

yep, thats what i was thinking, thanks

We ride our mountain sleds on the ice and have not had good performance on slick ice in ID. With cable scratchers. I don’t even use them on packed snow trails in CO anymore. They don’t kick up the ice/ snow as well. jME. I have gone to dawn dish soap mix for hyrax and even use auger to get ice chips for cooling/hyfax I always have a hard choice take the sleds or atvs. When we go to ID. Sleds rough for slick ice atvs terrible in slush and deep snow.

I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE DAWN DISH SOAP, DO YOU PUT THAT ON AT THE BEGINING OF THE DAY? DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING IT ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY?

Duro- flex scratchers. They are cable and you can run down all the time forward and reverse.

OEM all the way
