Can you leave the scratchers down - all the time?

I'm only talking about stock - and on 2024 sleds with the new scratchers.

Can they be left down when riding pow?

You can but they will catch stuff and break

I leave them down all the time and never broke one. Just annoying they want to stab you when you have to roll the sled

I'm lazy - I leave mine down all the time - never broke one - or been stabbed by one but it could happen

I havent put mine up in probably 900 miles....
My main coils got mildly deformed from doing some very dumb low snow esrly season log slides but they still work great.

Just make sure you pick them up to load on a sled deck. My wife forgot...

Mine Mostly stay down all the time 1800km and still gong strong.

they will likely get busted up and make for a long ride back to the parking lot. when i do that i always forget i have left them down and reverse and getting unstuck always comes back to bite me and i end up damaging the scratcher.
