SAM Magazine-Champion, Pa., Feb. 27, 2008-After years of rumored introduction, the Japanese-built Ohara DF357 snowcat has finally made it to the U.S. PBL Enterprises Inc. has put the first demo machine through its initial test runs in Colorado, and the machine is poised to make its official debut at Seven Springs Mountain Resort tonight, according to spokesman Dave Ensign. PBL plans to tour the mid-Atlantic region in the next few weeks, followed by a Western swing.

Among the machine's features: a spacious center cab design loaded with the latest in Japanese technology, and three tiller choices, "including a more aggressive Eastern tiller, based on the old tri-flex design," said Ensign. "That's something that hasn't been around for several years, and something customers have been asking for."
