style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many long track riders are well aware of ice scratchers and what they do.\u00a0 The longer slides heat up much faster and can melt away much quicker than on a short track sled, even when there is a decent amount of snow.\u00a0 Now, with the little snow that we do have, even short track riders should consider running the trails with a set of scratchers installed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those who aren\u2019t aware of what ice scratchers are, the name pretty much says it all.\u00a0 A set of ice scratchers is installed to the rails of your rear suspension with one on each side.\u00a0 The scratcher has a sharp tip that digs into solid snow pack and ice to create a \u201csnow dust\u201d or loose snow and ice chunks that is then thrown up into the rear suspension.\u00a0 This takes the place of the powder or loose snow that you would normally be riding through, which is needed to help cool the heat exchangers under the tunnel and the hyfax slides under the rails. \u00a0The slides are there to protect your rails and are much easier and cheaper to replace than the rails, so you need to protect them as long as possible to protect the rails.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are two main types of snowmobile ice scratchers available: rigid spring and spring steel cable.\u00a0 The rigid spring design may be the more productive design, but it also has its disadvantages.\u00a0 Since it is rigid and uses an actual spring, this design is able to produce a lot of down pressure on the ice to break it up and create more snow dust.\u00a0 The fact that it is rigid is also its downfall, though.\u00a0 The snowmobile cannot be reversed while these scratchers are down.\u00a0 They need to be lifted up onto the rail so that they do not catch and snap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a

justify;\">The cable design ice scratchers provide a much easier to use option.\u00a0 Because they are made with a cable, they are very flexible and can be down while the snowmobile goes in reverse.\u00a0 This gives the rider a little peace of mind because they don\u2019t have to remember to pick them up every time the\u00a0snowmobile goes backwards.\u00a0 The tips on the cable scratchers can be replaced, which makes them a good investment for long time use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whichever style you do choose, you will definitely see the advantages of having a pair of ice scratchers, especially with the poor riding conditions that we are having this year.\u00a0 Your snowmobile will run cooler and your slides will last much longer.<\/p>\n<p
