WOODY'S DRAG TEST RESULTS...

This test is quite simple.  We tested our wear rods against the three other leading brands: Woody's, Roetin and Sno-Stuff.

Each brand of wear rod was independently attached to a tow-behind jig.  Each brand of wear rod was also independently weighted with 119 pounds.

The wear rods were then dragged across bare blacktop because the alloys on all of these wear rods cannot be touched by the file, much less a hacksaw.

The bigger and brighter the sparks... the faster the material is wearing away!

See For Yourself!

Affixed to the jig, these wear rods were dragged across blacktop at 45 mph for 8 miles.

These are the actual wear rods after being dragged in this test

We cut up a pair of Woody's 1/2 inch carbides and welded the hardweld pieces together.  The top rod is the Woody's rod, notice how much thinner it is compared to the Bergstrom rod.  On the trail this difference will translate into poorer turning from the Woody's rod.  Since the Woody's rod is wearing faster it will also lose it's carbide faster.  By weight the Woody's rod lost 59% more material.
