doo4adoo Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Rode lower Quebec this weekend and the trails in this area rely way too much on side of roads. Brutal. Anyway i to am now looking at wheels as well. Being lazy I am trying to find more info on the automatic wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHsrx701 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 I'm running the duraflex ones... They work perfectly.. https://www.startinglineproducts.com/snow/duraflex.html Dupont slides if you can find them will help as well. I run with my scratchers down all the time and would not leave home with out them.🙂 wng-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFARJM Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Last fall I bought Qualipieces ski rollers on my 2016 Skidoo Blizzard. I love them. So easy to put them down and even easier to retract. Pipemaster and wng-2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, when I read Mrs Iceman's remark, I understood she was referring to Mr. Iceman as the hydraulic part of the wheel activator! You see, I have to " activate" my wife's wheels as well....and "deactivate" as well, still cant get her to try yanking the sled sideways to deactivate!

NSHM Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 With the hydraulic ones shown depending how your sled is tied down to a trailer the pistons may interfere. Just something to be aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to my dealer today as he sells snowtrackers. He said about 6 years ago he had a client who wanted these. He was told he had to go down and get trained to sell and install. Wasn’t worth it to him. His client went direct and apparently there were in the neighborhood of $3600 he said. Not sure if they are the same today or not but that’s serious coin He did say Kimplex has a new version coming out this fall that are designed to engage easier by your foot. I will see about those as they are likely priced more reasonably for us cheap folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipemaster Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 OUCH ! You could buy a used sled for that kind of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobeeler Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Ok see that. Looks like you might be able to get them back up with a blip of the throttle too. Anything that gets the skis off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
