As the title says i'm on the fence as to what sled i want now. I really like my rev but am thinking of going to an M8 for something different. I am not brand loyal, they are all awesome when they work and a POS when they break. Also the local cat dealer is great, most of them know me on a first name basis and all i have done is bought a quad from them in 2006.

If brand is not an issue I'd very much consider the dealer, service is sooooo important.
Not many complaints about the Cat - you may really like one...do they still come with factory installed tow ropes??....lol...

Sure Doo, never know when you may need to help a fellow sledder get his XP or RMK out of the mountains with a blown motor!!:d:d:d

Never thought I'd give up my Doo...love it. BUT T&T put my butt on a Cat for this season and I had no choice but to learn to ride it...and I have to say...Holy He!! I love this machine!!! TOTALLY different ride than the Doo...took a few days to adjust but once you get it, it's so easy. It's a carvin, sidehillin' maniac...you just think about makin a move and it's already doing it LOL.
Not sure I'll go back to my Doo...I could be a Cat Girl now.

Thanks.
I liked my KK, and I'm sure my new to me M1000 will be a blast once I get it to run. Nothing like buying a sled in Sept, and finding out on your first trip to the mountains in Dec. that it has problems.
It sure is easier to handle the M chassis in the trees.:d
Having a dealer you trust makes the decision much easier!!

Many of us on here can agree to the fact that M-series Cats ride awesome!! You won't regret buying one....
I'm partial to Cats anyways, I'm riding my second M-series, we have three in our family.... and I can't wait to see what they come out with in 2012!! But hopefully not the SnoX chassis!!
I do have to say that the differences between my hubby's 2010 M8 SnoPro 162 and my 2008 M8 153 are HUGE.....that almost 20 HP jump between the two could be a deciding factor on what year of a sled you chose. I would have to run a pipe kit and even then I probably wouldn't touch him. Track length is a consideration too, I have a 153" but I totally prefer the 162" for added traction in the steep and deep. I don't notice the extra track length in the tight trees, either.
Having a good dealer is another factor, for sure. There is nothing worse than laying your hard earned dough on a sled and find out once you've bought it the dealer has *conveniently* forgot about you.....
