Well, now you don't have to worry about backing up anymore if you want to use "spring style". My new patent pending "REVERSIBLE" design has twice the spray as my traditional spring style scratchers. I ran them all last winter and they work awesome!

Nice! That's a great Improvement.
I have a set of your original scratchers and they hold up better than any others I've seen.
Interested in the price.

Thanks!! Yes....definitely an improvement. I am using the same spring steel as I have in the past on my other scratchers and I cast a the "ski" out of 314 stainless so there is no rust. I ran these on my own personal sled last season and even though I may be biased, they WORK! Due to the downward force of the spring and the width of the stainless ski, there is about twice the amount of snow spray as my standard ice scratchers. So for anyone removing coolers or for the Poo Pro guys with the tiny cooler, these should work well.

My Canadian distributors will be sending these out to dealers early next week and I am not sure what they will be retailing for but seeing my standard scratchers retail in Canada for about 59 to 69 bucks, these ones will retail for a bit more due to the stainless hardware. Unfortunately I do not have distribution south of the border yet but working on it.

If he distributes through Rec Supply or Snowest Distributing Mr. R's will be carrying them Rowdy. Lance can get you some as well at Racers.

I know some guys that tried the cable ones but tossed them after trying them. They don't put enough pressure down to do any good on a frozen trail. Stay with the spring type ones IMO.

that was my concern. ok...so...you got some? haha or anyone want to sell me some? I need to buy em, might as well support someone on here. PM me if ur selling.

I'll check when I am at the store on Thursday for you Rowdy and see if the suppliers have any of these yet.

i find scratchers on the ski will kick more snow into the front of the suspension, thus more cooling and lubrication. hear good and bad on cable scratchers, i have the spring type mounted as far forward on the tunnel as i can get them. but i also use a 2 inch bolt in the back of the inside of the ski. this works the best of all, on and off at the trailer, costs maybe $ 2.50 easily replaced, and will throw more snow into the skid frame than any other i've seen. and work the best in icy conditions.

I'm curious about this bolt in the ski thing, does someone have a photo?

Agreed.. Didn't work worth a chit lol.. But after snapping 2 sets of the spring type I had to try them lol.. Always seem to forget to put them up at the end of the trail.. Too excited at that point lol

The way you ride Mikey, you don't need scratchers...... Your never on the trail, the sled is hardly on the ground? More insurance coverage maybe but scratchers?
