There are so many great people working tirelessly each day at this facility. They are focused, determined, and dedicated to making great products for all of us to enjoy. We are excited to see what the future will bring for this brand that we are so passionate about. #ArcticCat #ThiefRiverFalls #MN #CountryCat I get my information from my dealer and that is why my sled will be staying in the crate. Sorry it is to much for you to handle there flat tire, I mean airlift. Time to end this waste of time conversation with you. Ignorance is bliss for you. Later! So Jimmy, you’ve said RV Sports used to be your dealer, any insight whyThief River couldn’t support or attract anyone to sell Cat in their hometown when the Polaris dealer has been thriving for decades. In fact they had to give the Cat line as a second line to Hubert’s so they’d have a dealer in town. And Country Cat, you’ve been adamant about supporting your local dealer now, isn’t Country Cat down by Sauk Centre?

We welcome you with open arms here at the Land of Misfit Toys! BTW, has anyone actually seen an OFFICIAL announcement from Cat regarding their '23 release? Or just the hearsay that has been posted so far? There's no announcements on the web site, nor on social media from them that I have seen. March 11th is a dealer webinar but sounds like its more of a update on production status not new product. I'm sure Jimmy knew that though..

Then add another grand a year for your radios to accept updates, Garmin really knows how to bleed you dry. (Hence the dreaded Garmin Tax).

But, my VFR paper charts get tossed every 90 days, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One large blue computer company had phantom layoffs every few months, where people just disappeared. I’ve also worked for other companies where people were forced out similar to the house cleaning Txt did. Not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
