That was peak Arctic Cat hay day It sure was. A local guy here had come into a large inheritance and had a 650 wildcat that was full of black magic stuff. His wife had an EXT 530 and he also had a Wildcat 700. But that 650 is the one I remember the most. It was a pretty wicked sled at that time. There's never been a cooler company name either, and I'm a Doo guy ,👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a "magicat" sled that started as an AFS wildcat but then they did a bunch of stuff and it was sold through black magic. Super custom sled. I think very rare and I'm sure stupid money today, but really cool. A guy in one of the FB groups has one.

Friend of mine bought their high end sxs and took it on a big ride in Canada and it worked fine. They are basically what can am and Polaris ran 10 years ago. If you want cheap they are the way to go as you can actually gets parts for them 21 hours ago, Palu49 said: I’m pretty sure the smaller cats are Kymco not cfmoto but I may be wrong. From what I was told cfmoto started as a parts supplier for the main players and they tweak their tooling once the big companies change stuff up to make it their own. I know a few guys with their SXS that are not easy on equipment and they have no issues with them. The only atv AC currently builds is the 600, all the rest are Kymco built For SXS they have the prowler pro and XX For quite a while they had a kymco 450 sxs badged as a prowler 500. it was smaller, and you could tell it wasn't built or designed in the US by just looking at it. Tracker has a couple of re-badged ez-go machines they call SXS, but they aren't sold under the AC brand Edited September 20, 2023 by krom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker has a couple of re-badged ez-go machines they call SXS, but they aren't sold under the AC brand We had one of the Prowler 500's. It was a good machine, no great. It always started, it never left us stranded (except getting it stuck), it fit the need at the time just right. If you parked it on a incline, it was a bitch to get out of park, like you thought you'd break something getting it out. The Ranger 500 it replaced was better. Have a Prowler Pro now. It is a good machine, not great. The air filter gets dirty very quick, the clutches are always dirty like the cover doesn't seal as well as it should, the cup holder position sucks the big one, there are only like 4 grease zerks, it only does 49mph, etc. It has been far more reliable then my friend's Can Am, but is less refined then the Gators on the farm it shares a engine with.

racinfarmer Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Pulled clutches on 3 sleds today. Doing 2 full primary rebuilds once they are clean. Pulled the ice sled up to the front of the shed and let it run for a while, mainly to make sure it still ran. Ran out and looking at a Phazer MTN Lite. Yeah, no bueno. Probably strip one of the primaries down yet tonight and start cleaning it. Really need to drag sleds up to the wash bay and give them a real good cleaning.
