Spikey wheels

[reb]

I guess everyone is aware of these wheels and many clubs seem to insist of them including my one, I have heard they are better for electric trolleys as they make the battery work less, does anyone know this is true maybe you use them yourself I have a hillbilly trolley with the twin front wheels, I also see far less pricey is the add on spikes about £20, without buying actual wheels about £70, any pros out there think the spikes alone are ok or is it best to get new spikey wheels.

No experience with hedgehogs. Our greenkeeper doesn't like them so have trolley ban in the winter.

Well the clubs here are not having winter trolley bands now that hedgehog wheels are available and far better than having winter trolley bans, so clubs now say trolley bans will be a thing of the past once the hedghogs get going.

My friend bought the powacaddy wide winter wheels:

They looked great and just the job however what he didn't anticipate was how good they are at collecting and clogging up with clay :angry:

It seems powacaddy have now brought out a dedicated hedgehog wheel which hasn't impressed him at all :rant:.

Hello I do not like the looks of the P Caddy wheels and look an ideal mud and clay trap, I sent off ebay for a set of hedgehog covers and got them today they are well make and easy to fit and the spikes should be easy to clean too, they was £17 for the covers as apposed to £70 for hedgehog wheels but thought it better to just convert my own wheels rather than buying another set. I recommend them and they are a good price too.
