soupkids Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Cat is following Yamaha on the production and cutting dealers like to others have. How many times have you read being able to by to 2 or 3 yr old cat in a crate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pussy Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I bought a 2017 ZR7000 LXR in a crate this spring. $5000 off MSRP. The crates were being picked up at dealers all over so he had product due to the order only 2020 year. Looks like the cut in production did the job. My dealer is building a new facility. I hope the dealer cutback don't affect him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psledhead Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Rumor I heard today was 11 Arctic Cat/Textron dealers were being squeezed out in Ontario very shortly... Will be interesting to see who and how the dealer network will be spaced out when all is said and done. Not unlike the auto industry restructuring that occurred during the last recession a decade ago in the US 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 In may not be new news to those involved w/ AC, but is it possible that this is the 1st that they've made it known to the general public. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrummage Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Perhaps this has something to do with Textron producing Tracker Off Road ATVs, UTVs and golf carts.All Bass Pro Shops in North America will have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbakernbay Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 You are correct, even though they hang the Arctic Cat banner they don’t sell AC new sleds. Probably just as well, maybe they saw this coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably busy enough fixing Cats. No different than the garages that yoy see specialize in certain import brands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard of a few horror stories about dealers really being traumatized by the intense pressure they face daily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
