    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    All brands right now including all powersports. Boats, campers, motorcycles, etc. are struggling. The difference is that Cat has a different business model, rob every corner they can. And they are right on target. My honest opinion on why Cat seems controversial, is they were not out to bring...

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    I feel very strongly that if Cat knew what Textron was going to do, they NEVER would have sold to them. When Cat went out early 80s, 5 employees brought it back, and stronger than ever. I don't see them going away, but they have a very tough road ahead of them. My own personal belief, is they...

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    I just hope it sells quickly. This Textron way of doing business has destroyed the brand. The Catalyst was a glimmer of hope, and I understand the layoffs, but pulling the race dept is not acceptable. That is the R&D for almost all of what ends up in show rooms. Very Strange that they did it...

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    Their R&D was so strong because of all the support they had in racing. It was awesome before Textron came in. Now most of the riders have gone to another brand. Even family's that had decades of history racing Cat, now have switched to another brand. I don't blame them, Textrons way of gutting a...

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    Many Cat employees also went to CF Moto. Cat dirt division has been stagnant for all the years Textron has owned them. It's too bad, they use to build good off road machines, but now they are way behind. Argo would be a great match for them.

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    It may not be the favorite move in our minds, but continuing to build more snowmobile just to keep employees busy is a bad move. Old school Cat would just jam more inventory on the dealers which we all know how bad that was. I myself don't care for Textron at all, but i do believe this was a...

    Got the itch

    My advise would be to take it out a few times solo to get use to it. Atv with a passenger can be a little sketchy if your not use to it. Your going to love it, enjoy!

    Got the itch

    Cloverland in Ironwood has a lot to choose from as well. I agree with the SXS over the atv. Had atvs for many years, and after the first SXS would not go back. So much more you can do with a SXS, and way more comfortable. As far as what brand, I strongly suggest a dealer close to you that you...

    Heading to our cabin in northern Wi. Time on the water, and some 4 wheeling as well. Most likely a few adult beverages, and spend time with friends and family.

    The Good Samaritan

    Thank you for sharing. I wish the news channels would report more on stories like this rather than all the doom and gloom. I turn it off for that reason. I love hearing about the good people that are still in the county!

    Building / Shop advice

    I just did a 1900 sqft 5in thickened edges rebar 2ft center and it was $24,000. I know that's a little high, but couldn't get anyone else end of last summer. This is northern Wi.
