Interest rate high if you have to finance. I had a female customer ask me about a used sled and what to buy. I did a quick used search, dealer I bought from has a 20 Indy xcr 800. 2000 miles and absolutely mint. Studded, and the gray color. Sweet machine and not an 850. That 800 is bad ass and she will get used to it. She’s tall and can handle it. I told her I’ll do all 4 shocks. I gave her my tall windshield. I’m never gonna use it. She paid 9k. Not a bargain but a little bit of warranty and just so clean. She is excited to say the least Decent deal for sure and I would absolutely ride an 800 after coming off my 850 Assault.

Motoneige c’est bon! actualy our seasons have been very cyclical . We’ve had low snow and crazy amounts of snow through my entire career I farm so paying attention to the weather is just part of who we are precipitation cycles. And it doesn’t give a shit about the calendar year. In my career precipitation actually goes through about 7 year cycles 2009, and building up to it was a slow building drought. Then end of may in 2010 it started raining and it didn’t stop raining for 5-6 years. 2010 we started measuring rainfall in feet not inches now, we’re basically back in a drought again . As far as useable rainfall for the crop is concerned but then when November hits it starts snowing hard and doesn’t stop but that will change again. It always has as long as I’ve been alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Just one sled these days but we keep them fresh. 23 Expedition Extreme 900turbo. We travel 370 miles north each way most weekends, or long weekends to Jackman ME. We have been renting up there for years, and this year found some new digs at Lake Parlin for 5 of us, all met from the forums. The drive can be a bit of a grind at times, but we still love to ride, get stuck and generally get ourselves into shit we have no business doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Last year we had a new demo Polaris 4 stroke. Dealer got the sled late and needed miles put on being a demo. Was pleasantly surprised how good it rode and handled with the additional weight. Never felt and heavier as a 2 stroke while trail riding. Wife really liked the sled. Performance was a different story compared to an 850. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we like our old triples plus we like how the kids have to learn how to maintain and fix these old sleds rather than just handing them new stuff and saying “here ya go” my oldest boy loves his 97 Mach 1. He has a lot of wrench time into it so he takes Really good care of it he even swapped it himself to an 809 when he was 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my list of sleds forgot to include a 2001 XCR. Bought it from a good friend of mine and its still at his place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man XCR 800’s have skyrocketed in price too Polaris had so many garbage triples but anything ultra based was decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
