WTF did he take out? I have tore off the whole left side lower arm and busted the upper no shock mount breakage . also bent both upper and lower to the point they were bulging plastic with no breaking shock mount. deff a freak deal . and the tunnel bend also had to be a pretty serious hit . shit last trip I hit a deep hole flew 20 feet in to a deep hole sled came out of hole tail first 2 end over end flips cleared 30 feet landed on the tail . I bent steering post and busted throttle . that's it . it would no question have totaled a doo and a poo would have needed a rear tunnel section for sure every one who saw it was shocked it did not bend . if they bought a poo hopping for a more durable chassis they are going to be extremely disappointed . I have blown 1 belt in 1700 deep snow Mi on my 14. but I do run a team tied and took the time to shim as needed . I have flat spotted a few but that is my fault for getting stuck and not wanting to dig Edited March 19, 2017 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 The broken belt bashing on Cat is limited to a few years of the turbo. Bringing it up during an off trail discussion ,shows you know nothing. Go back to HCS and talk about the Cat turbo that blew belts. You may get lucky and find a thread about Yamahooy,I hear they are just gas and go. Great fit and finish I hear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy cats for deep snow because I hit shot and roll them a lot . Edited March 19, 2017 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldnt find a belt for a cat 800 here for a couple seasons...it was hilarious...but sad at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well , not to get myself in the middle of yet another shitstorm but the 12's were pretty bad and the only reason the 800s were not as much of a widespread issue as the turbos were was because the more power that was applied to a sled with the motor mounts welded in crooked , the more the problem persisted . It stretched well into the 13's also . Cat fucked some people over pretty hard on those sleds and would never come out and admit what the REAL issues were , nor did they buy any of the problem sleds back . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
