Wes said that the catalyst was supposed to be released in 2020. We’ll have to ask @ZR6000RR if that’s true

not a claim..

Check out the patents that were applied for before, to just after the textron took over firing engineering, you'll see all sorts of stuff that was supposed to be in production years ago.

Including the D.I. Turbo 2 stroke, and the composite leaf spring rear skid

Still avoiding every question and trying to change the topic,

must be a sad, sad life up there with all that man made climate change snow, no snowmobile, and a shortage of washer fluid

Holy shit parts boy, now you are finally getting it. Science shows the number of isotopes in the carbon they measure now is different from what was in the atmosphere before the industrial revolution when we started burning fossil fuels in large amounts. 
 

It’s not a hard concept had you actually graduated high school and not skipped 10th grade Science class. 

yes you are that fucking dumb..

and afraid/unable to answer a single question.

Explain what "they measure now" has to do with weather in the 1900s to 30's

But first, explain how "man made global warming" was worse in that time frame than it is now, since you've been dodging that question for weeks

That’s what I was waiting for! Ever heard of the Industrial Revolution? It started well before the dates you’ve listed. 

https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/industrialization-labor-and-life/#:~:text=The Industrial Revolution was the,from about 1760 to 1840.

Poor Krom, just beaten down by facts…. AGAIN. Time to go back behind the counter parts boy and quit fucking off on the internet spewing bullshit. 

god you are fucking dumb

you really think the the co2 levels changed the second the industrial revolution started??

and that the dust bowl was caused by man made CO2

Your question makes no sense. Show me the timeframe of these snow less winters you are referring to.

Question makes perfect sense, and has been asked 100 times, with the proof posted in this thread almost as many times, why do you keep avoiding it??
low snowfall record, and winter high temp records  for this area, and many others was set between 1900, and the late 1930's
Dust bowl was during the 1930s

All happened long before "man made global warming"

You two dumbfucks don’t understand how greenhouse gases work in relation to trapping heat in the atmosphere. 
 

Krom it’s 9:23pm on a Tuesday night in NY now. Sounds like are you getting your drink back on and getting all spicy in your posts. 

As expected all you can do is avoid the question and try to change the topic.

I'll ask again:

If this bad winter was caused by man made global warming, than  what caused all the prior warm, snow-less winters, the ones that had a higher temperature, and less snow than this?

Why did all of them occurred before man made co2?

You have zero info on the cost for Polaris to create the molds for the bulkhead castings. There is nothing small in cost to change a casting. 

 

ASSuming the market is 100k units a year Poo builds 35-45k of them a year.  If the tooling cost is 100k per side (that is high imho) and you completely ignore replacement part sales, you are talking a whopping $5 per sled,if they completely redesign it every year.  Small changes/improvements/updates are a fraction of that, as they can just modify existing tooling.

I know you are stupid, and will pull some lame bs.  I also know that poo doesn't use the exact same casting on every sled, but they also don't change it every year, so I'm willing to be the numbers are more than close enough to prove you wrong.

Exactly as expected.. 

You can't comprehend that, or explain why all the records set for warm temps, and low snow fall happened before mankind had any impact on co2 levels.

Not a word explaining how this one poor season was caused by man made climate change, despite record snowfall last year.

No mention of what caused the dust bowl, and warm winters in that decade either.

Just a brain dead, can't think, must obey Al gore "mind"set

Global warming, climate change, greenhouse gases…. It’s been proven that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased at a record since the industrial revolution. YOU and the other fuck tards on here had a shit winter. It’s all releated  moron. 

 

Still waiting for you to explain what this has to do with the FACT that there have been longer stretches of warmer and lower snowfall winters prior man made CO2 in the atmosphere

That doesn’t make any sense. 

You didn't understand his example, or my post....

But I'll try again...

If you take the cost to make a small change to the casting, and divide it among the volume of castings poo has made each year, their overall cost is still significantly less than that of a catalyst bulkhead.

Tell me dipshit, what did she tell you about CO2 building up in the atmosphere? Don’t worry, I know you don’t have the answer because you were too stupid to watch and learn about basic, high school level science. 

If you think that this winter was caused by man made climate change:

Tell me what she said caused the warm spell when the prior record was set.
What caused the warm spell in the 30's?
What caused the dust bowl?
What caused the cold and snowy winters in the 70's?
How about the snow drough that put over 100 sled manufactures out of business in the early 80s

Castings are good and bad. They are very expensive upfront and prevent any upgrades and geometry tweaks like what Cat can do with their tube steel bulkhead. Damage repair is also more difficult with castings. I suspect production is less expensive so they save money over time. 
 

If what you wrote is accurate about Polaris costs than I think Textron has a better strategy for the long run. They can revise and improve the Cataylist a lot more easily year to year. I’d like to see Cat move up in sales and give Poo a run for their stagnation. But with a Textron in charge I doubt that’ll happen. 

At poos volume, it's not that big of a deal to make minor changes, and the per sled cost would be a fraction of what ac spends to fab the tube steel version. 

I like cats solution, it's cheap to tool, super cheap to make changes to, and strong (once they redo the sway bar mount) 

Look at all the effects of man made global warming in the 40s and 50s

Nope what? I stated in the Polaris example that revisions and updates need to be made. Cat didn’t do that. Had they refined the Procross and updated it, addressed the problems they would’ve done fine. The Procross is still competitive in sno-x and XC racing and that is pretty amazing for a 12-13 year old sled. All Textron had to do was put new body work on it and give it a new name like Polaris did with their Maytrx and update the ergos a little bit and dipshits wouldn’t have known any better. Then…. THEN the big thing, sell it for less than the competition and make up for it in volume. But Textron was too stupid to do that. 
 

Now they finally introduce new product AFTER completely missing the COVID sales bubble. Current sleds are sky high in price with inflation, interest rates are sky high and the lower 48 had shit for snow. Their new Cataylist has done shitty in racing and they don’t even race the thing in either sno-x or the Iron Dog. A trained monkey could run Arctic Cat better than the morons in their top administration.  No wonder they keep extending their snowcheck date just hoping, praying to sell something. 

Lots right in the second paragraph..  But the procross wasn't going to do anything but continue to loose sales..

Poo spent more $$ engineering and tooling their bulkhead castings, than textron did on the catalyst chassis, and maybe more than textron did on the entire catalyst project.

Honda has been #1 in ATV sales forever. Where is Polaris is when SXS sales are not included with ATV sales?

What happened to Cat is piss poor management, lack of marketing, lack of financial incentives like low interest rates so their sleds couldn’t compete for sales with BRP and Polaris. 
 

Polaris rode to #1 and stayed there from around ‘90 to ‘02 selling Indy’s. Same chassis with refinements every year. Different motors, different body work but the same basic chassis. They were never the most expensive sled in their category and they generally performed well and always rode the best. Cat didn’t follow that formula with the Procross and never fixed long time issues. An OEM doesn’t need an expensive new chassis every few years, they just need refinement, reliability on a sled that rides and handles well. Sell it for less than the competition and you’ll rise to #1. 
 

 

Nope.

AC lost market because the competition came out with new product, period.  I was there, we had customers apologizing to us for switching brands saying they just couldn't wait any longer for ac to release a new chassis, or 850.
