I will check with Dave just saw them at the show so he is selling them but might no be on web site yet, send him an e-mail, I think they are same price $60.00 or so...I thought they were a great idea...
Ok, I'm just gonna give away a great idea for scratchers.
Had this idea 10 years ago and I did nothing with it......
Scratchers with a replaceable carbide tip (Stud for a track for example)
Stud wears out, you screw a new one in its place........
Come on!! Someone please make these (Maybe they already are, who knows!)

Maybe the profit margin is better for complete scratchers rather than just carbide tips so manufactures decided not to make them?
Looks like $79.00 for them, I think they are a great idea I know I have backed over mine on a couple of occasions!!

been done
just can't remember the name of the company that did it
these scratchers that Norona posted are sweet
have a set coming for my FR
Summitseeker is the man and awesome to deal with too
I would like to see these new scratchers in action on snow to see how they really work. The look like they could still bite in on a <S>soft </S>trail and fold back like regular spring type??? Just asking. Very cool to see a new idea!

If it's a soft trail, you shouldn't need scratchers in the first place........
but who stops and puts up thier scratchers the second you hit softer snow? heck sometimes i forget i even have them down until i get off the sled and see they're down. what i always thought someone should make is a cover to go over the reverse button, put the cover on when you put the scratchers down and then theres no way to back up. sounds simple enough.
maybe i need to get to work on my million dollar idea, 2 cents worth of plastic and sell them for $29.99
of course would come with a cool sticker that adds 10hp!!! patent pending...

Okay, I'll clarify. On a snow covered trail vs ice, concrete floor, etc.

everybody has ridden a banged out trail ride home off the mountain
LOTS of times its hard packed - especially early season and spring
Last year i tested normal scratchers on my Pro and WITH them down, it dropped temps over 20ºF .... so a scrather does make a big difference
these are pretty innovative IMO and a great price
cheap insurance I think

Velcro, fuzzy side either side of the reverse button, scratchers go down velcro (stiff side) goes over the button. Works as a good reminder, but I do like these new scratchers, Summitseeker I'll PM ya'.
No kidding...... I didn't say that scratchers aren't needed. I was responding to another post.
A couple of farmers in our area tried to do it but just kept breaking the hole stud assebaly off not sure how they did it but I think it has been done.

These work, replacement carbide tips. They cant break when you back up either.

I second the Duraflex scratchers. Have left them down all the time, loading/ unloading, trail, soft snow, rocks, don't ever have to think about them. You can put them up though if you're pulling into a shop or something so you don't damage the floor. They cooled my sled on an icy trail by 3-4 bars consistently, no matter how slow I was going, there's a lot of downward pressure. Think it will be quite a while before the tip needs replaced, they still look great.
Ordered some the other day cant wait to get them on and for the snow to fly to try them out. I think they will work good!!
