They are in the process of buying Cat from Textron.   Recently Deeres social media pages have been advertising that they used to make snowmobiles, they also came out with a line of retro JD snowmobile appeal.  They are creating buzz and excitement around the nostalgia of the brand before announcing they are getting back into the sport by acquiring Cat

Yes, we can confirm that a group of John Deere officials definitely visited the Cat factory in late May. But there are many reasons that such a visit could happen.

the cesspool strikes again! 

I was out on sxs with the I500 crew plus everyone else. One them thought it be funny as a brp owner to soak Nick in the Polaris in a giant puddle. In retaliation for the soaking he got the culprit’s expensive jacket, threw it into a mud hole and ran it over: then crashed into the can am to cause damage 

Can't believe any company would want to add snowmobiles to their line up. Low snow seasons, average aged rider somewhere in the mid 50's, sales numbers dropping yearly and did I mention the low snow seasons. Doesn't seem like a sound strategy to me.

maybe JD could sell 120/200's and b-lasts... someone is going to have to fill the Yamaha void

Absolutely! Getting into sleds is a poor business decision at this point in time.

I doubt many will miss a couple of production shifts. I don't even know if there is enough room for 2 sled mfr's anymore. The future of this sport is dim

Rumor I heard is cat made an offer to buy JD

John Dee, that is
