First off, if your going to do a major mod like a polcat, you want the '13 or its not really worth it, i e the better boards, belt drive, all those little things that add up and make it work and keeping it light. So since they are still warrantied there wont be many laying around, I would also like to start new so there is no other blame for problems like warn out parts.
The other, it will add weight, just from the engine and cooling alone. i'll have to figure out the balance when I get there, But how much of a diff can you tell full tank or not?
The PC will hold a line easier on hard pack up to the point or where it panels out, if anyone listened I have said it several times, I think its the better sled for the guy that only uses it to that point. For my style and several others around I know, with the M and pro out there the PC is only good up to 80% of what we need in the backcountry.
Let me put it this way, If I knock of the top 20% of what I know, (considering the fact I do know the difference and call that 10% of the 20%) and the other 10% for the top of riders, so from a 80% standpoint I agree with you guys 100% that it is the chiznit, slickest badest thing to hit the snow.
Other than fat kitty isn't my thing and buying belts in bulk sucksssssssssssssssss.
Lets just start there, its heavier than before and Belt issues are worse than a mod m1000, WTF! Lets here your justification.
To the OP, " very disappointed in you arctic cat guys"
Thats odd because some of us are "very disappointed in arctic cat" we held them to higher standards and they failed.
Even if on only one factor of the destructive belt issue alone, there response to this fact is by far one of the worst ever. Even the poo motor has a warranty but we get screwed on belts. There so called fixes are a slap in the face.
