Anybody tried the Doo T3 rail mounted scratchers?

[newfrank]

Can you post up a pick for us? was looking at these but didnt know they came with a bracket to hold them up. thanks in advance.

I will tomorrow!

They look like they'll work great, and Rod @ ottp is a great guy to deal with.

Here's a photo of the over the top performance ice scratchers with the bracket. Not sure why the pictures look faded but oh well.

How about a picture of the ski doo T3 scratcher

Here's some pics of the T3 scratchers on my 15 RMK LE. I used one of the existing holes for the rear hole on the front mount and drilled a hole for the front hole and the hanger mount.

thanks for the pics. Anyone had them on the snow and Do they work?

Why wouldn't they work?

Should work even better than most other rail mounted scratchers since they mount further forward.

thanks for the pic's
I may try these instead of the cable one's

The T3 scratchers seem to be a perfect solution. The downward pressure is more than enough to spray a lot of snow into the skid and tunnel for lubrication and cooling, the hanger is simple but very effective and it's very well engineered. The mounting method is also very strong and superior to the standard wire scratchers. I'm very impressed so far.

Rail Ice Scratcher

BRP Part #: 860201140
$84.99

is this the price for a set or just one?
thanks

That's for a complete pair including the installation hardware.

well, i don’t know about these.

i have and installed a set in the same location as posted on this thread. I went out and used them yesterday.
in marginal snow on the trail out, with scratchers down, my sled seemed to run hotter than it ever has. It was at 140*. on the same trail coming back, it hit 150*
i don’t ever remember seeing over 130* with the stock scratchers

what is the normal operating temp of the pro?

 

[jeremyp111]

I ran mine for the first time last night and I never saw higher than 130 and that was on a rock hard logging road. So far, so good. FYI, my sled is a LE RMK, not a PRO so I have a front cooler.

Good to know. Any accidental deployments?

I installed a set on my 2015 std and a set on my son's 2014 pro, had just over 300 miles in marginal snow in UP and neither of ours went above 130. The only issue we ran into was when he grabbed the back bumper to slide the sled on pavement at the gas station, ended up bending one pretty significantly into/under the track. Took it off and bent back in a vise when home so is fine now but he had to run remainder of last day with only one down but still provided adequate cooling.

After 140 miles on lots of hard pack trails I am pretty impressed. Several reverse maneuvers, dipped off trail here and there and still no issues or accidental deployments. I am hoping they continue to hold up because I like the design and stowability. Love the amount of snow they kick up too.

Nice.

Any reason these wouldn't work on the older shorter tracked Polaris as well? I have an Edge 144 that is hard to get scratchers to fit into the nest of springs and bogeys plus an SKS 133 that could benefit as well.

i put the stock scratchers back on for yesterdays ride.
snow was firm in the morning and air temp was about 20* warmer than it was friday.

my sled never got above 132* the entire day. this was on the same trail/road as friday. actually yesterday had so much melt, the last 1/4-1/2 mile of “trail” was pavement. temp didn’t rise.

with the T3 scratchers sled was 140-150*

so for some reason the T3 scratchers are no go for my sled.

They are for sale in the misc sled parts section!!

I changed from ice storms to the T3 scratchers. Temps higher with the T3 scratchers, going back to the ice storms. The T3 guys are complaining and changing them out. I think the problem is they are not wide enough. As far as simplicity they are great. If you are looking for cooler running temps IMO they are a step backwards.

 

[jeremyp111]

That's really strange...I ended up riding over 250 miles on hardpack trails this past weekend and the hottest it got was 130 as I stated previously. The rest of the time it was 123-125. The guys I ride with were complaining about riding behind me because of how much snow I was kicking up.
