Bolt Through Ski as Ice Scratcher?

[DallanC]

Heres a few ideas that I have used.

This is a ski scratcher that I got from F-Bomb at the snow show. I had to over drill the small hole on the verticle part of the mount to put it on a Dragon ski as in the pic. I used the 2 base mount holes to mount them on our Doo.

In the up position

In the down position

This is a design that I came up with and am still working on. I have run these for 2 years as well getting all the bugs out and trying to make them fit most skis.

On my Apex I have also used regular rail scratchers mounted through the spindle bolt or the ski loop bolt. Just dremmeled a little hole in the ski for the scratcher tip to rest in when in the up position. They worked well too.

Good luck. EW

LMAO... those are just cheap bailer hay tines... they cost under $1 at my local farm supply store. Even the side rail scratchers look like long tine hay rake springs cut in half. Time to fab some up for under $5 I guess

yeah, no kidding, you could make some out of those tines for CHEAP!!!!

gonna go check em out, the dual spring loaded scratchers on each ski seems like you could NEVER overheat a sled.

So how do the hay tines work in reverse?

Picks up a lot of hay!

You can rig up scratchers, buy them ready made, or try the bolt method, they all work when trails are iced up, had a couple of sleds puke antifreeze on the trail and no scratchers at sled shop, used the bolt and works well.

I asked TrinityTaz about his sidekicks on skis, I think it would be interesting to hang them from the A arms, let them drag on the snow. don't no.
