New snowcats performance

[tomelroy]

Has anyone seen the VMC, Trooper, Scout and Caliber on a demo? I heard there was a "shootout" last year here in UT. Does anyone know how the cats performed side by side?

Drove the trooper and scout in CA shootout few years ago. Tucker needed to blade a path. scout and trooper just drove right through it. check ca shootout thread

The scout and trooper have lower psi due to much greater track surface on the snow,but must be detracked for transport. (which would be a problem for me).

??? the trooper does have a wide track version that might need a permit to transport (no need to detrack), but comes in a version that is under the legal limit to tow with out a permit. the VMC, scout and caliber are both good to go without a permit.

Safety one puts them on. the Ca shootout and one in Colorado are very similar
