Scratchers

[adrenaline junkey]

Scratchers are a pain in the butt anyone I know has or will forget about them and back up bend the heck out of them and in the worst case push them in the track and wreck a track. I will consider the cable ones.
For now I have one set of wheels right where it wears the most and got one complete season out of the graphite Yamaha sliders with probably one more season to go before I need to replace them.
One set of wheels is about the same weight as the scratches.

thats whats nice about the hartman scratchers if ya forget no big deal they just flip up outa the way

I plan on trying these.

My question is what happens when you go over an exposed cattle guard?... won't those moulded aluminum ends catch and yank on a pretty important part of the steering....it looks to me like a bad day in the making...

I put on the rail mounted scratchers on the rail...and so far have had good luck...

Don't think I've ever run across a cattle guard up here. I might not run the ends at all, just fray the cable a little and see what happens. Or maybe solder the tip solidso it doesn't fray. I'll have to play with it, cable is cheap enough for these lengths.

I never caught a thing and I ran them all last winter and half of the previous one.
