Can't be the snow division. Someone on here claimed last year's Catalyst production was sold out. Think they even said this year's snow checks went well. Maybe this applies to the Yamaha sled builders

Cat ran the early order program twice and extended it. Imo people are tired of their dog and pony show they have been pulling for the last few years and not producing. When it finally got into the consumers hand and people quit listening to what demo riders who never buy new sled and social media influencers say they caught on. Killed sales. The catalyst is a good sled but it’s not what it was made out to be a year ago. A year ago the 600 was wiping the door on any 850 and it didn’t, it was on par with any 600. Basically took the wind out of their sails.

Wish they'd just sell to Argo, take the L on the books, and put us all out of this misery.

He can still ask Facebook why his new sled bogs all the time.

Wait you can’t keep people working on 3500 sleds a year?!

Does Argo assemble their own ATV's and whatnot?  You'd think if they don't Cat could be a good acquisition for them to move that in house.

I will use a piece of stove pipe I threw out my back door and make a can out of that. The diesel tards will be jealous of my 8 inch tip

I’m not sure isn’t argos facility in thief the old BM building and fairly small? Cat would be a good acquisition for Argo because more people at Argo know the workings of the catalyst than people at textron/cat do.

Maybe they could buy Cat and revamp and rebrand the dirt line Cat/Argo/Bass Pro and consolidate their manufacturing so they could give line employees 40 hour work weeks.

I love ripping around on my TGB Target. On big rides I always laugh the dipshits on CanAm Renegades for spending way too much money on their quads. My Target looks just like a Renegade for way cheaper and no one knows the difference. I pull way more chicks with my Target than those broke ass CanAm guys ever do.

Broke ass is buying a TGB and not being able to afford a sled.  Someday perhaps your life won't suck.

It is. It’s not very big. About the size of a Best Buy building if I remember right. I haven’t been to trf in probably 8 years now. The black magic sign was still up last time I was there
