Great report Terry. I've been looking at getting a set of those ice scratchers for a couple of years and was wondering how well they'd work. I guess I'll be giving Royal a call and placing an order.

Nice report terry! Those ice scratchers look like a good idea but a pal was under the understanding they're for liquid cooled machines where the ice chips hit the rads and melt to also lub the sliders. Does anyone know if they are also good for old 2-stroke beaters like some of us chepskates have?

they will work / help any snowmobile

The snowmobile’s track rides on a small piece of plastic called a Hy-fax. It’s this Hy-fax that can melt with friction caused by the moving track. Once the Hy-fax is worn out the track would literally ride on the metal rails causing considerable damage to your machine. Fresh snow rotates inside the track and keeps the Hy-fax cool enough not to melt. When you are riding on a lake, or a hard packed trail there is no loose snow to perform the necessary cooling. Ice scratchers are designed to deploy from both of your snowmobile track rails (rail mount) or from your ski’s (ski mount). Once deployed they spray small chunks of ice or compact snow into your track to keep everything lubricated and operating as designed.

 

but snow / lubrucation is less important for snowmobiles with the old boggie wheels
