wondering if anybody out there knows the retail price of this machine thinking of buying one. also any problems? thanks in advance

I paid 10,000 (canadian) for mine. but we had alot of snow so it was hard to get a deal.
I love it no problems or complaints yet. I have only put 250 miles on it yet though.

one thing to remember is if you load it into your truck put some wood in it first. the doubell carbides do a number on your box. :(

Paid $6700.00 US
Love the sled. Not a single problem. 1200 miles so far.
An absolute blast off trail. Very competitive on trail unless it's just very tight.

Couple of other things that are great:
Not one bit of snow dust on my back. Extra storage on the rack. ( Be careful, all you're buddies will want you to carry their stuff!). I would definitely get the electric start if you have the choice - lot's of compression.

I don't find mine hard to start at all. I didn't get electric start or reverse. the only time I would like to have reverse is taking it out of the garage or truck.

You're right Fuzzy - those would be the perfect times to have reverse?
As far as electric start - You're probably a better man than I. After 1400 miles in 6 weeks and at least a half dozen other guys with other sleds pulling it over saying the same thing. With a large portion of those miles in snow up to your waist after you can barely hold you're arms up because your doing "hang off" turns while dipping you're ### and elbow under a foot of it - you'll appreciate electric start more than you did that nipple when you were 6 months old. ;)

LMAO I guess so but i'm just a young lad yet. Might just be my time spent in the gym. Because I don't fine it hard to throw the front or back around either. I might put reverse on it next year for when my father takes it for a ride. he finds it hard to lift.
