In the process of trying to sell my 850 Poo. LOVE IT. The thing seriously rips, and I love the Axys chassis. No reliability issues with Poo since I started with them in 2012. Never had to leave one in the lot because it wouldnt run. Never been towed out. Never had to take one to the dealer (other than jackshaft update on a 2013). Been flawless for me.
Anyway... found something I need... “need” some cash for and I am figuring that the 850s value will drop significantly come snowcheck. So the plan is to sell the 850 if I can get decent money for it (otherwise I’ll keep it) and pick up a new 2018 M8000 SE. They are cheap. I’ve been wanting to try Cat for a few years and think this is a good time to finally do that.
So few questions-
Are the shocks on the SE rebuildable? Figure if I can have them revalved they will be as good or better than the shocks on some of the higher end models.
Is a guy giving much up with 2.6” powerclaw compared to the 3”? Anyone run an X3 and have thoughts on that vs the 3” powerclaw? Would be cheaper to go X3.
Whats the scoop on the intake sucking snow? Is it happening at the dash or somewhere under the hood? Some sort of update kit?
Are grippers really necessary?
Anything I should be aware of with the SE models vs say the Sno pro or Mtn Cat?
Thanks
