As a former employee I can tell you they dont build 300+ a day they havent in over 10 yrs. When I left in 2018 we were building 150-160 a day and we didnt have 250 employees building either. There were barely 150 employees between everything and many ppl asked to do more than time allowed for. I can also tell you the day they made this vid in the main plant we were building without parts and werent supposed to work that week because of parts shortages. Also no hammers were used that day and normally they are so all the sleds had to be gone thru to ensure everything was correct.

It’s very unfortunate that Kawasaki totally got out of snowmobiles - Not only did they make some amazing sleds for their time, but they supplied engines to Artic cat which honestly made for some of the most reliable years for Cats. Suzuki and Artic cat motors have never been know for reliability. When you have ski do’s and polaris sleds that can have tens of thousands of KM on the clock and still on the original motor assembly. I haven’t seen many cats do that over the years.

[@scottnoyb6749]

I've owned a lot of sleds and my first were skidoos in the 70's and the last skidoos were both 1997 and honestly the cats ice owned never gave me any problems and I think it was because the engines were Japanese let's face it the Japanese are far better engineers than us and Canada

You are off your meds if you think dual points, coils, walbro and Tillotson carbs were anywhere near as reliable pre 1976, which is when suzuki engines became the only mill put in a cat. I owned several early 70's cat sleds with Kawasaki engines, they had crank seal issues, warped heads, warped manifolds, and wouldn't hold up next to any suzuki snowmobile engine in an arctic cat. I have 8 cats, 7 with Suzukis, all more durable than any engine Kawasaki ever sold Arctic Cat.

@@davidgarris2513 You may be near my age 56. Same here bought a Honda 350x for a 2300 In 1985. It was about, I think, 2300 dollars. In today's dollars thats between 5 and 6 thousand dollars. Thats still a lot of money to save up cash. 20000 dollars is 4 times that amount. And there making everything efficiently too that is with modern automation. No wonder Asia has been taking over.
