1 just because it’s not on the internet does not mean they cured the exploding belt issue.
My 19 has belts just as hot as the last two seasons, and explodes them just the same so. The intake air vent is iced over 20ft from the truck if there is any powder at all. The “exhaust port” foot well is also always plugged with snow. Which in turn melts water back into the clutch compartment. Belts and water don’t mix. But reporting issues on the internet just gets a bunch of “mine is perfect “ so they are all great, or “there is no such thing”.
2 there are several areas that are low on snow, which means low problem reports.
Slight off subject but.
So since you have new Alpha Cat.. how does it compare to the G4 850? Climbing, trenching or lack there of?
Handling from what little I’ve rode one felt very similar to the G4, in my opinion.
My 17 is so well dialled that the only thing that would make me put down money would be the new 600 with a single ski.:face-icon-small-sho Yes doo always is ahead of the curve why not with a single ski monorail suspension :face-icon-small-coo
Chassis needs an upgrade. To put the power down. 850 Poo pulls mine on slight hills, semi-fresh snow. But he had a Carls clutched 163 and mine was a bone stock Freeride 154. Track, skid, the Doo just doesn't put the power down like a Poo.
Sorry to hear that there are still clutch issues, mine are solid. (After two years of turds.) 200 miles on each, NOT easy miles, I have yet to even look at the belts, let alone adjust the deflection. No 2017 smoke, no 2018 almost smoke.......
I basically quit riding after the 2017 mess. 2016 2600 miles, 2017 don't remember but low, 2018 700 total. I have 450 on already this year. Super happy after getting the recoil mess figured out.
But again, needs to loose some weight and re-evaluate the track/chassis. They just don't want to climb up on the snow like a poopoo.
The rail profile makes a big difference. I put 50 miles on my 154 Freeride today, after locking out T-Mo, lower riser, centered skis, newest belt. I put that silly thing in places that I never thought that I could. SUPER predictable. I could walk it up on the rear on hills when I wanted, but it didn't boot out on sidehills. Super impressed other than the recoil quit working on this one too.
I also noticed that it was able to crawl out of stucks, kinda like an Axys.
