After leading our Arctic Cat business for two years, TSV Vice President and General Manager, Powersports Heidi McNary has accepted a new role at our sister company, Textron Aviation. In her tenure, Heidi’s leadership was instrumental in reshaping our Arctic Cat business, and I am appreciative of Heidi’s many contributions and wish her well in her next endeavor.

Hey kROMMER. I get surveys from Cat on my Alterra 600, but no recall? Help me out. Dealer check? Clear. Now Cat? You had, maybe a little to much ammonia? Just asking. You the supposed pro and all.

You are the one that is too stupid to understand the word "all". Too stupid to know their, there, their.  Too stupid to have the slightest clue what was said about tipping over the sled, and not being strong enough to pick it up.

Unlike your relative getting you a job holding a stop sign that you aren't qualified for, there is nothing anyone can do to help.

I think there was around 50 of the SVX snowbikes.  They offered them through the race program, probably as a clearing house to get them out the door and off the books.  

IDK the exact number, but they went through the race department, and to dealers in Canada (epa wouldn't let them sell in USA because it wouldn't meet emissions at high hours, wasn't a problem with a new engine)

Glutton for punishment.  Curious who's chassis you got?

why not just go back to the Poo or Doo forum and quit worrying about what Cat did. 

This is NOT the Cat forum.  Either way it is a discussion about the new Catalyst that isn't filtered for pussies.  If you can't take the commentary then go wash the sand out of your labia.

Has Polaris sold sled 1 for 2024? 

Derrr, cat opened preorders before Polaris.  Once open WAY more Poos will be sold than Cat.  Seriously one of the dumbest questions ever posted here.

Gym is considering applying for this position as Gym feels perfectly qualified to lead this company.  Gym would clean house and hire as many people from Polaris as he could.  Gym has seen the direction Artty Cat has gone for a long time.  Gym is tired of the sadness.

Oh kROMMER! I have 30 plus years doing what I do. Way more qualified than you. Have never had to hold up a sign. Got this job because of my qualifications and schooling. You? Probably not qualified to run a street sweeper.

The vast majority of engineering tech jobs requires a high school diploma, or ged.  If you had a real degree, you would be a real engineer.

2 year degree. Civil Engineering Technician. High School graduate wont qualify. But what do I know? Only did the schooling, then all my certifications required to do my job.

2 years isn't a real degree, its basket weaving, and chalking your license at the local, free community "college". 

Certifications are showing up in the morning, sitting around bullshitting all day while someone drones on at the front of the room.  Free donuts, and lunch, home for dinner

Says the runner up to custodian of the year. I paid for my college. Paid off my loans a year early as well. Sniff some more ammonia you pile of dog shit!

I see the Norman County taxpayers are getting good value for their money again this morning...

People from New York mills Mn would have tighter ties to the factory. Totally trust worthy

Took you 29 of them to figure out how to hold the stop sign the right direction.  You are SUPER qualified.

Lot of former cat people at Poo already. Maybe some would come back?

Would Gym build only 6000’s?   Would Gym only build sleds for better mpg’s or will some be built to have fun on too?   Would Gym offer a 10 year warranty to stand behind his faith in the brand?   Would Gym make the new company slogan, “Cat rules Polaris drools”?

This is in no way to defend her, just to straighten a few things out...
FWIW she didn't fire Brian Dick.  IIRC Joey left for yamaha before textron, but may have come back for a little bit (and afik he wasn't in engineering)

Most of the rest of engineering and the rest of the departments that got gutted including the "retirement" of Roger, Spaulding, Eidie (sp??) etc happened under scott ernest

 

Joey Hallstrom went to Argo last year. Brad Darling has brought several former Arctic Cat talent to Argo.  Among other things, they build the Sherp which has to be the coolest vehicle out there.

I think they’d  be a legit sled builder.

Absolutely, Pretty good rumor circulating that they would/will be building sleds for Yami, when they break from AC.  I believe they've tried (and a couple other companies) have offered to buy AC, but all have been turned down.  Its a shame, because any of the ones that made an offer would be doing a better job with the talent and IP
