Planning on going in the AM and purchasing an 2010 M8 or 2011 Pro RMK
That should be an easy decision!
PRO!
The M series is how old? Cat has to have a new chasis coming out soon. Unless you get a great deal, it seems like a no brainer to me.
Yes the M-chassis is a few years old.........we've all read hundred of posts about that topic........
BUT, if old is bad..........then why is every thread out there about the new RMK Pro, comparing it TO THE M-SERIES????
The M can't be all that bad when it's still the baseline and benchmark everyone is trying to achieve with their "new-ness".
(sorry for the poach...)

Naw. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't like em, but it seems to have been a very acceptable chassis and the only reason some peeps in the industry switched is because of money. Poo was fawked, so their hand was forced to do something drastic.

Go with the M8. Two things here Chris, do you wanna be a test dummy for Poo? And are you ready to fork over that extra coin for buying one after the Snocheck? Vohk told me that the price goes up for those who didn't Snocheck. Just sayin...

We are leaning toward the M8's right now. I have found a few good deals. Gonna make a move soon. I can taste winter
Maybe because they are both in the same mountain segment????
Anybody from GJ going to the show? I can't go, but would like to send an ABS canister over for an exchange.
PP said something about going on BCR
Yeah I just recieved one too. As for low key I could maybe smoke a brisket or Boston butt if I have some extra funds otherwise I'd come by and DONATE for a brat.
