All of the dealers that I am talking to are saying that Snowcheck/Spring Break is absolutely terrible this especially considering how good of a season we had. Maybe everyone are waiting to see the Arctic Cat MY26 lineup? 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to find anyone that will do a 2 or 3 day trip now. Hopefully next year I can get 1000 km plus trip in 👌. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Not surprised. At this point, it looks like this will be my worst year in business since I started 27 years ago. I got my first call for a swimming pool in 4 months on Monday. Hearing the same from other companies. With interest rates coming down, we all thought that this year would pick up after 2 bad years but the orange man down south has screwed that completely. Tariffs are starting to hit my industry now. Only getting worse from here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only getting worse from here. Yes everything going to slow down. Affecting me too. USA not suppling us with hatching eggs they are required too under current free trade agreements. We plan for and take 21 percent of their hatching eggs for our Canadian chick supply. Now they aren't meeting obligation and we are short on hatching eggs, which results in a chick shortage. I got cut 4 percent this time. This is only tip of ice berg. They could cut us off completely and then just ship chicken here because we have no way to ramp up breeder flocks in next year either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 We ordered a 26 renegade X 900T i was originally looking at the adrenaline package, but for the extra $600 if I remember correctly, I upgraded to the X package and got way more than $600 in value. Just the new ras rx front end is worth around $1100 I think? Im keeping my viper for now as I really do still love that sled, but eventually making a full transition to skidoo. My wife hates the vipers, and the Polaris S4 is just underpowered. Our good friend let us borrow his wife’s skidoo for a day so we could make our decision before buying, which helped a lot with her decision. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heated seat, new front end, better shocks, adjustable bars, better gauge etc is well worth the extra $600 over the adrenaline package. I can’t remember exactly how much more, but it was in that ballpark. Did you get all black or the coloured option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signfan Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Nice sled. That 130hp x package is a great looking setup. Definitely what I'd look at. That or a Expedition with the same motor package. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is - who cares aboot this on a Summit? . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyr Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 At the very last minute, I decided to order an MXZ850 XRS. I absolutely loved everything about my Lynx but couldnt justify the price of a 26 this year, especially when I could order a 26 850 XRS with big screen and a 1.5 IR track for $2500 less than a new RAVE. It is starting to become obvious to me that a used Lynx doesnt bring a penny more than a comparable MXZ. This makes it tough for guys like me who normally deal every season. That being said, for the guys who like to buy 1 or 2 year old machines, the LYNX' provide great value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
