mnstang Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 If you were waiting to snocheck a zr200, you waited too long. They apparently are done taking orders for them as they've reached some kind of limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziemann Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Wasn't Cat's SnoCheck period like 5 months long last year? And this year they cut it off early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziemann Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 That seems to be a weird model to have to cut off early. Do we need to reach out to Ramstad to find out what's going on? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is true. Poo and Doo are running limits also if I understand it correctly. Textron probably didn't care enough to order in mass like the other two.

oldslowsledder Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Doesn't surprise me with the used 'Covid' pricing out there. I ordered this 120 for Grandson, very close in price to a 15 year old used one this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Can they at least strip the limited stickers off the full size 8/8ths sleds and put it on the zr200? Separate rant but the whole limited edition is the biggest crap. There is absolutely nothing limited about these cat cat sleds, why are they called that? They need some new people in the trf marketing dept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Just because I don't sit around all day and bitch about a company (cat, you) doesn't mean I can't or don't critique anything. Limited edition should be called unlimited. It's stupid and I could think of a million cooler trim level names anyway. Or complete different model names. This is a marketing rant also, it's not against the sleds themselves. I've often been critical of these kinds of things, ordering options, e start, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziemann Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Jim Ramstad is in charge of Cat marketing. What's not to like about Cat's primer gray? I had a 1975 Pontiac GrandAm that was primer gray to cover the Bondo and rust.....I apparently like that..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The window lickers that they have in marketing completely forgot their 60th Anniversary. How do you forget your 60th Anniversary? How can you NOT take advantage of that opportunity? The only thing they offer for the 60th Anniversary is a silver sticker on the front of their primer gray sleds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not greg b Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Sourcing parts is a huge issue right now. My work isn’t doing an early order snowblower program because we can’t get enough parts to support one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
