Bring on the marching band, cat sold out of spring orders! This is huge news for cat. Two dealers I work with sold out of spring orders last season. They will be selling out again. It's called limited supply. How many catalysts did each dealer even get to take orders for? Anyone actually know? My dealer tried to order 150 more sleds than he could get his hands on last year. That might be the total number of catalysts getting built for 24'. This doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Selling out, okay, what were they capable of manufacturering, 50 R-XC’s? 100 R-XC’s? I doubt it was a large number and limiting the number of snow checks isn’t going to grow your brand into prosperity. The longer Textron runs Cat the worse things seem to get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkipinki Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I'm sure Cat will re-position and meet demand...having trouble keeping up building them is the best news Arctic Cat could get. No way its that low of a number, I'd say its much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts unlimited rep says that his entire territory is loaded down with doo's that customers walked away from. Poo dealers aren't in bad shape, but will be carrying product over the summer, closest one has 4 boost models and around 50 others on the floor. Dealer allocation was based on the last couple years of sales. The more you sold, the more you get. Online ordering didn't effect allocation numbers at all, dealer who was got a hundred sleds on allocation, could have a hundred customers order online, and still get their allocation of 100 for the floor.

There isn’t that many snowmobile buyers anymore. This info is all over the place, but I'll repeat it: Between 70% and 80% of the machines ac plans on building got allocated to dealers last week. The remaining ones went onsale this morning, on the website. I was told to let customers know that the catalyst trail sleds had sold out roughly 15 min after the website started taking orders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then that blows you all your “allocation” or what ever you want to call it out of the water. Whatever cat is building is low, limited and sold out.
