==Historical competitors==
While Tucker is still in business, its early competitors have not fared well in the face of competition. Other notable players in the North American [[snowcat]] market included [[Thiokol]], [[Bombardier Recreational Products|Bombardier]], [[KRISTI snowcat]], NodwellForemost <ref>http://www.foremost.ca/foremost-mobile-equipment/tracked-vehicles/nodwell-110/</ref> <ref> http://www.foremost.ca/about-us/our-history/ </ref>, and Swedish manufacturer Aktiv [[Snow Trac]]. All the historical competitors to Tucker Sno-Cat made two-track snowcats.
 
Thiokol of Utah sold its ski-lift and snowcat operations in 1978, with John Z DeLorean purchasing the snowcat division, and changed its name to DMC. DMC later was bought out by its management team and renamed [[Logan Machine Company]] more commonly known as LMC. LMC ceased production in 2000. Thiokol's Imp, Super-Imp and Spryte were most its popular products were continued by DMC and LMC and were commercial successes but could not support the entire company. Many of these models are still in use today in the commercial market and are popular as privately owned snowcats.
