Sleds are Selling

[garyl62]

Went to the local Cat shop today to pick up something I had ordered and had to stand 3 deep at the counter with 4 people working it. While I was there 1 guy was picking up a sled he bought yesterday, another guy was writing up a new sled, there was a sled on the floor with a sold sign, and 2 people were waiting for someone to help then regarding a new sled they had called earlier in the day about.

Amazing what happens when it snows early in the season and it sticks around for a while in Northern Illinois.

Yep....they don't call it WHITE GOLD for nothing! Snow throwers, shovels, rakes, plows, trucks....and all because John got things going early.

That is great news, I hope it keeps up, when I was a Polaris dealer we never had a carryover sled and transfered in or picked up lots of them from other dealers until 1996, then we had lots of carryovers every year after until we got out of the sled business in 2001. It helps the used prices a lot when there are not 2 or 3 year old new sleds competing with your used one.

There won't be too many steals on sleds this year that's for sure. ONLY bad part about a good snow year.

Too bad Cat is slowly killing their dealers making them A LOT farther apart.....

How are they killing their dealers? With poor product and bad programs or by intentionally cancelling the poor performers?

Will be a good year to watch for used sleds in 4-5 years.
