Mike, you would really enjoy this video: Silje Osthus - McHale Fusion. It features Deutz tractors and McHale balers. Takes place in Norway beautiful scenery but the real trip is the tractors getting on the ferry and they go island hopping to different custom jobs.
Thanks for the review, glad to see Cat new chassis and motor , Only got 180 miles on my sled this year in PA one weekend of riding. We had to cancel Our Michigan trip due to no snow conditions
I plan on coming up and riding in the New England states one of these years. I actually had rooms booked in Presque Isle Maine but it was supposed to be over 50 degrees and rain so we went to Wyoming instead.
Do you think a 2” - 2 1/4” lug on the track would make a significant difference to playing off trail. Friend of mine has a 146 backcountry XRS and that made a world of a difference in off trail capability.
Is it worth it? I've been thinking about selling my M800 and picking up a used Catalyst 858 some year... the Riot would be my go to probably. The Garmin dash looks awesome, but probably something wouldn't need for the most part. Cat has always got the best looking sleds. Really hope the 858 is a home run for Cat, they really need it to put Doo and Poo back in good competition. Don't you dare sell that ZR 900 🤣 Brother still has an '03 F7 yet. BUT by curiosity, how much would you want for the ZR?

Never been snowmobiling. Looks like a lot of fun. I'd be real happy on either of them. 😊
In my opinion snowmobiling is the best of all the off road things to do.
Congrats on the new purchase, hopefully this newer Riot Catalyst serves you well like your previous two snowmobiles did! 👍

That Catalyst chassis is unreal for handling. All around 9.5/10
I love the plastic/decals on that alpha. Easy to find in the snow :)
Good looking sled😄👍
Very nice sleds Mike great video
Nice setup 👍👍
Good job brother ❤❤❤
I really like the color. Very nice. We had a one month only season in New England this year. Worst season I can remember since 1995.

I like Mike less videos on RUclips from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲 have fun 😊
Got the black & red one 🤘🏻
Mike very nice machine and good video you don't have to mix oil and gas together on them snow mobile
No they've been oil injected for a long time.
Nice sleds !
Have you done a video on equipment, clothing you use and how well it works? Also, have you given tips for new snowmobilers?
No I haven't done that yet but if you think it would be helpful I'd consider doing it sometime.
@@farmhandmike I do believe it would be helpful and informative, more than that, I think it would be entertaining.

I'm sure a 2 1/4" would have made a difference.
Most years the wife and me 12000 miles on but this 1700 no snow in Ontario canada unbelievable
Yes I'm definitely way down on miles this year too. One of these years we are really going to get hit hard with snow I'm sure.

Well it’s probably a $2400 sled That’s why I’ll probably just keep it
