I have read a few mixed reviews about the Cat grille on our Winders. Some say it holds less snow and ice and others claim the Yamaha grille holds less. I also read the Cat grille is easier to clean ice and snow off. Anybody have experience with these and what's your thoughts?

I put the Cat grill on mine. The Yamaha grill holds the snow too much.
If you put the Cat grill on, you also need to remove Yamaha's second grill close to the intercooler too.

I changed to the cat grill and yes it’s better but it still gets plugged when driving all day in snow dust while hunting your buddy’s lol

I have no idea why anybody would want to spend that much money on a grille unless you could cook food on it.

Seems all the vendors think we are made of money. Most aftermarket stuff is priced outrageously.
Easiest solution is the Cat grill with frogskin over it. NO snow accumulation at all after plowing 2-3 feet of powder all day.
