Description
Rail Mount Ice Scratchers for Ski-Doo Summit Snowmobiles
Keep your Ski-Doo Summit running cool on hard-packed trails with the iFJF Rail Mount Ice Scratchers. Designed as a direct replacement for OEM part #860201728, these heavy-duty scratchers kick up a steady spray of ice and snow onto your track and heat exchangers — preventing overheating when trail conditions are firm or icy. The upgraded reversible coil design allows the scratcher to flex backward without damage if you accidentally reverse, solving the most common failure point of traditional scratchers.

Why You Need Ice Scratchers
Snowmobile cooling systems rely on snow dust being thrown onto the heat exchangers. On hard-packed trails, icy conditions, or spring riding, the track doesn't kick up enough snow to keep engine temperatures in check. Ice scratchers solve this by aggressively spraying ice chips directly onto the hyfax, track, and heat exchangers — providing consistent cooling even when natural snow dust is minimal. Running without scratchers on hard trails can lead to overheated engines, melted hyfax, and premature slider wear.
Installation Tips
- Mount to the rear portion of the skid rails using the included hardware
- Position scratchers to spray snow onto the track, not outward
- Always retract scratchers before loading onto a trailer or crossing roads
- Check carbide tip wear at the start of each season
- Apply a light coat of anti-seize to mounting bolts for easy seasonal removal
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these fit my REV Gen4 Summit 850?
A: Yes. These scratchers are compatible with REV G4 (2017+), REV XM (2013-2016), and REV XP (2008-2012) Summit chassis models with 600, 800R, or 850 engines.
Q: What happens if I reverse without retracting the scratchers?
A: Unlike traditional scratchers that bend or snap when reversed, these feature a reversible coil design that allows them to flex backward without damage. Simply pull forward again and they return to the correct position.
Q: How do I know when to replace the carbide tips?
A: Inspect the carbide tip at the start of each season. If the tip is worn flat or shorter than 1/8 inch, it's time to replace for optimal ice spray performance.
Q: Can I run these scratchers on a trail sled?
A: While designed for Summit mountain sleds, these rail-mount scratchers will work on any REV chassis Ski-Doo with compatible rail mounting points. They're particularly valuable for trail riders in low-snow conditions.
Q: Do these include all mounting hardware?
A: Yes. Each kit includes both left and right scratchers with stainless steel mounting bolts, washers, and lock nuts — everything needed for installation.
