HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED A 2019 AXYS 850 ENGINE FAILURE ?

A friend towed one out from Big Sky this weekend with a locked up motor. Had 50 miles on it. Saw the video of 3 sleds linked together (2 pulling) to get it up the hill from where they were. I don't know any more details other than that.

I told Mueller that it looked like that poo keeps up just fine with his 850. He said it does on the end of a rope. I think that was Coulter Todd's 850 poo. He isn't very lucky because I think his last years axys blew up also.
 
It is an engine with two individual jugs and two piston rings, it is not a polaris unless it is an old big block, but don't look like it.
 
At 90 miles i noticed my belt slipping like it was wet, took panel off and noticed a little oil build up. Rode another 10 miles to get back to trailer with it slipping another 5 times. At trailer i pulled the panel of again and noticed lots of oil. Just got it back from dealer... Oil line to PTO bearing had come off because it didn't have clip/clamp to hold it on. Engine and bearing are fine. I would recommend checking line.

So with a cell phone you can get a pic of the hose behind the clutch. This is one hose you should check anytime you blow a belt. I could easily see it get pulled off.

Just making an observation here seems like alot the 850s that are blowed up are posters with low post numbers. Hmmmmmm

Good eye!! Guy just all of a sudden shows up and starts posting. My dealer has not seen any "blown" 850's
