Found out yesterday that the demo was leaving before my next official shift. So I got the okay to come in this morning around 6:00am to take her for a spin. My thoughts on the Bison--after a mere couple hours of playing--can be summed up as follows: I want a couple... now!
Love the cat. All kinds of power, ergonomically sound, easy on the fuel, great front visibility, decent rear visibility, quiet, comfortable, and sexy. Ventilation isn't great... just two little side windows. Although the fan system does have a recirculate or outside air option. Same tiller as the BR-350. It's a good one.
Really wish I could have spent more time in it. Can't really give a full breakdown on my impressions, since I didn't even get a whole shift in the cat. But it just felt "right."
Here are some pics of the machine:
Left a pretty nice pattern, even in over-tilled, worn-out, wind-blown snow:
And here's a wee bit of my handiwork, after the GMVS racers got at it:
