Homemade cable scratchers!!!!

[Sled Dog]

I would go with a stiffer cable than what I used, the scratchers I made even though did the job marked up the bottom of my skid plate just like canadianhunter explained. So they are not stiff enough to stay on the ground I took mine off and will make a pair like canadianhunter did. Wish he would borrow a camera though. LOL

Finally here are some scratcher pictures. I must apologize to Sled Dog and The Snow D.O. for taking so long. Hope they turn out.

I don't know if you've seen it yet but there's a company out there selling your scratchers now. They call them ''Slidekicks'' , there's an ad in the Oct issue of Snowest on page 20. Are you getting anything off these?

Slidekicks

We put a pair on both our Nytros last week and ran them about 225 miles. They seem to work pretty well.The cable is real heavy and looks durable. They kick up an ok amount, but could be better. At first we mounted them in the front hole of 3 existing holes on top edge of rail just as the instructions showed. This was just too far back most the snow missed the track,so I drilled a hole in the rail as far forward as I could before it starts to bend upwards. This is a couple of inches lower and about 14 inches further forward. Worked much better. I will be adding an additional set of some type under the front end Sorry sleds are at the cabin,can't send pic.
Dealer gave us 10% off, cost was about $61. Dealer said don't forget to use thread locker Cheers Ty
