Ill spend someone elses money every time if my money will make me more. Pretty simple I thought.

They ARE that much better than a timbersled.

Timbersled's mistake was too many models and shoving units down dealers throats. Sound familiar? And then Allen came back with the MtnTop which absolutely kills a Timbersled and thats what everyone is buying.

Theres more than that for the manufacturer.

You can get the same bolts from basically any hardware supplier for less.

The new Adapt secondary uses 6x1 instead of the 1.4-20 Team used forever.

Eh its more than that. Im gonna guess it has a whole design next year. The cable mount is too close to the actuator arm. Basically it has a bind on either end of the stroke so you need to set it in the middle. I would assume next year will have a longer cable and further from the arm to the mount to compensate better for the movement.

The harmonic weight on the clutch is different for the 858. It weighs 2.5 pounds with the bolts. The previous one was roughly 1.25 pounds

Na they were stupid conservative. They run fine now (at elevation). Excited to see another 15hp. Should make up for the lazy backshift.

Theres a factory reflash update coming that makes huge gains in the midrange.

Im not saying saying the system is perfect.. But my 800 Catalyst and supercharged 6 Catalyst had no problems and less belt dust than my wifes 600 stocker.

Of all the possible buyers, Deere would be my least favorite.

This is their lowest snowcheck year ever. By a lot. Our local numbers are pretty consistent. We always have snow. Last year the lack of Polaris inventory was offset by more Doo deliverys. We will gain on Polaris but I think Doo will stay strong. Polaris customers are pretty upset with quality, customer service and resale. More snowchecks than in MY18 but not MY19. Alphas sold well for us.

My buddies Poo/Doo dealer ship is 1/13 of last year for snowchecks. Our cats are 5 times what they did. We checked more 600 Catalyst Ms last year than their total snowchecks this year.
