Ox Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 LOL! In the new Snowest that just came out, they were dooing a comparison between some version of the 2023 Summit, an RMK (or whatever term Pol uses these days), and what they referred to as "an Arctic Cat Mountain Max (in blue).

scottyr Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I cannot believe how expensive the 23 Cats are considering they are running a good, but yet old platform?! They are quite a bit more $ than the comparable Yamaha and Yamaha was offering a 3 year warranty during their pre-season sale. A ZR8000 is more money than a 2023 MXZ850XRS. Makes no sense to this guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ontario I only managed 3 weeks and 600 km’s of local riding. Now private school topics come up for little guy, so there goes my sledding money 😂.

CAT RIDER Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Yes Farmers are needed greatly, as they are always outstanding in thier field! If you ate today, thank a farmer, if you were lucky enough to snowmobile across their land thank them twice! It is more difficult for farmers to survive each year, the small family farms are becoming athing of the past. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 You can try to plant the seed and provide them with all they need so hopefully they are equipped to go in the direction you think they should go, but they will make their own decisions when they are ready. Maybe the boy will just be a farm boy at heart! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 And back on topic, the Doo and Poo topics on new releases sure seem to stir up a lot more feedback around here - seems the Yamicat is not the choice of many around here. Wonder what the market share across the three look like now a days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re:Leaf Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 ^^^ I was thinking the same thing, boy did I start a boring snowmobile thread, but informative thread about the future of our youth. Polaris and Skidoo are definitely more popular on this forum and elsewhere. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderman Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I only ride a Cat because at the time I needed/wanted a new sled, and being only a Polaris fanboy, I could not bring myself to ride a Rush because of how they looked. I have to admit I am surprised at how well this Cat has worked for me and how much I enjoy riding it, but if I were buying today, I'd be back where I belong, on Polaris. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been riding cats for last 11 years. Was Solely Polaris before hand. Only reason I switched was my poo dealer had moved and became too far to drive to. Made the switch to cat as dealer opened just up the road from me. I’ve got 19,000kms on my 2012 f800 and motor hasn’t been touched. Was hoping to upgrade last year but ex’s cost a lot of money! Lol!! Hoping to upgrade for the upcoming season and I’ll be likely making the switch to doo as I’ve never ridden one 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched to Doo and a 4-stroke this year, 4 stroke I believe was my initial reason for buying a new sled, I also wanted to try something new as well & be able to more comfortably bring my kids on some rides with me - it was a good year, no complaints, I am happy with my decisions! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontariof7 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Two Yamahcats in my stable. Incredibly happy with them both. I see no reason to make a move or upgrade. Certainly nothing by any OEM has caught my attention....yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
