which is better yamaha or arctic cat snowmobiles?

Question

I want to know because i will be buying one this winter

Answer 1

Arctic Cat makes good snowmobiles, but if you don't mind spending the extra money - Yamaha is a better quality and has better performance.
Another thing to take into consideration is parts availability.
Yamaha is a popular brand and you can order parts from anywhere.
To get Arctic Cat parts, you have to order them from an Arctic Cat dealer and they are scarce - not very good when riding far from home in another state.
Parts ordering isn't a fun experience (order mix-ups, wrong parts sent, back orders) LOL

Answer 2

I have had both brands and they are equally as good in performance and reliability. If you are located in an area that is good for snow / snowmobiling parts shouldn't be a problem.

If you plan to by new - then I would go with the Yamaha, but if you plan to buy used, then I would consider both, based on the model, condition, etc. All of the top brands are good if taken care of and maintained properly.

Just make sure you get the model for they type of riding you do. Powder, track / snocross, touring, etc. It makes a big difference. You wouldn't want a powerful powder sled on a touring trip and you couldn't take a touring sled in the deep powder.

Answer 3

Yamaha is pretty good. I've never heard of the second one but I am familiar with Yamaha.
