Have to stop bashing Cat's now!

[leech~~]

Because I R one now! I just picked up my first ever used Artic Cat 570 Panther. I have had everything else over the years, Ski Doo's, Polaris's, Yamaha's even a Rupp but never a Cat!

It is a very clean unit and was a sweet deal. Should get me around the lake pulling the porty and on a few trail rides pretty nice. Look for a 2000 Polaris Sport Touring 550 on the list soon!

[CANOPY SAM]

That's what I'm talkin' about brother! Welcome to the family!

[givetoget]

Very nice sled Leech

[LoonASea]

now Leech will you still ride with us up to the tressel some time this season???

[fishingstar]

That 570 is a very good motor. Very good all around sled. you will love it. It will almost be as good as the Rupp. A 75 Rupp sport was my first sled.

Having come from thief river falls it was kind of a sin to not have a cat. I have been satisfied with every cat I have owned

[leech~~]

You are kidding right? That's my number one place to ride in MN! Just have to get the swamps some time to harden up and we will put it on the calendar!

[MN Mike]

Well, Well, Well!

Leech has seen the light and is in ' our ' corner now?

I wasn't going to say a thing until you pulled the trigger, NICE SLED! Kind of what I'm looking for in a ice fishing sled too.

Ya know..... the M8 will probably be for sale next year, enjoy that Panther too much and I can set you up with that and have you hangin' with the crazy's in Cooke City

Have a blast with that sled Leech, Congrats!

I just got my first cat. Have had Yamaha and ski doo but never a cat. Buddy sold me his really clean zr 580 not exactly a true fishing sled but it will do the trick. I took er for a rip to try er out runs great and it fly's got it in the shop going over it so I'm ready to pull the porty and get on the hard water. Your panther looks like a sweet ride congrats

[PurpleFloyd]

Nice sled. I bought a Z570 ESR last year and the kids confiscated it so I have been looking for one of them myself. You will love the sled and if you don't- Shoot me a PM.

Things have a way of working out for the best.

[Meat-Run]

Congrats Leech looks like a solid sled to pull my Polaris home IF it breaks down hope you can handle all that power!!! Haha

Mike if you can setup a 550lbs 70 hp Fan sled to run up in Cooke you B the man!

I can't see barrel rolling that out of a drift! Plus, you would have to take off my "pretty" nice high wind shield which I need to hide behind out on the lake!

[LoonASea]

So your sayin you will still ride with a few Polaris guys ??? Im craving a Train Wreck as I type

I am an "equal opportunity" rider and do not discriminate when trail riding with all brands, models, colors or economical worth of said snowmobiles!

[BoxMN]

Nice sled leech! I would love one of those for ice fishing too!

Thanks

Well I have started it up on the "trailer" three times now, waiting until I can hit some ice with it!

[Surface Tension]

Nice sled leech and a small step up from you popo but still not a Doo.

Plenty of snow around here and the Trestle to ride in.

[Macgyver55]

Are they grooming yet near you Frank?

I'm riding somewhere on Friday but no plan so far.

[Meat-Run]

Mac

South Brainerd area isn't to bad if you're coming up otherwise I'd go more NE of Brainerd we have about 11" and freshly groomed!!

Thanks but we will see if better then the Do-Do.

Hope to get up that way towards Finland after all the Jingle Bells are done!

[Surface Tension]

Mac, I'll ask around today about the grooming. Good news is we had cold weather before the snow so that should have froze the swamps.

[Xplorer]

The DNR update from the 5th said that they were packing the NS trail and were hoping to start grooming in a week (tomorrow). The snow levels between Duluth and Grand Portage were from 20" to 32" so they should get a nice base out of it. Just hope the swamps are froze down good, dont need to see any more pic's like the one's from McGregor : (

Leech, i run a 2010 AC T570 and really like it. It is a good combo trail/fishing sled. I think you will really like your new ride!!

Oh, and thanks alot LAS, now you got me thinking about trainwreck's!! May have to brew up a homemade one tomorrow

[LoonASea]

No problem Xplorer ,,,I have a string on my drool cup to hang around my neck when I think about a train wreck with casualties ,,,but once it gets above 0 I may have to take a ride and and cure my craving

[Walleyehooker]

Well at least its the same color as that Crow you have to eat for trashing Cats over the years. lol
