Odd.. both Polaris 6x6 and the pictured Can-am T1000 cost about 17-18k here in Finland. On Polaris you get 4 accessories included in that price (e.g. winch, snow plow, etc.)
The Polaris 6x6 is only built with one engine but I'd guess they might offer "a package" for more $$ with a few accessories. They cost quite a but less than our Outlander max did. We didn't even consider one because our machine has 1/3 more HP, power assist steering, larger stator etc etc..

Awesome! Always wondered who left those paint marks that help snowmobilers not get lost!

How do the tree markings differ between snowmobile and non-snowmobile trails ?
The national forest is not open for general motor vehicle use which includes snowmobiles. In Michigan private property falls into the same rules. These blue blazes are only used on non-motorized trails.

Below is what you say followed by the actual machine price (as best as I can recall!)

you say 5000$ for the trailer. It was around $3000

you say 18000$ for the 6x6. Its was around 24K (a few accessoires added at that price)

you say 5000$ for the snow kit. I assume you mean the pods or tracks which are $6700

you say 3000$ for the sand level kit
you say 3000$ for the ski track plow/level/thingy

Are the above items the same thing?? The drag that was pictured was 5K
The roller was another 2K

you say 800$ for the snow plow. Close! Its total was about $1000


Pictured below is the roller. Ya, grooming ski trails is spendy.

Thanks for the update. I'd figure that at least I was in the ballpark though bit low :) Meybe stuff is cheaper here in Finland

Drag and roller was only thing really off on my estimate.

Here is one Bully I operated. I used three different ones over years while doing trails.

I went up to mount Washington last year with the Ranger and at the summit they have a multi-screen POV of what it's like operating a trail maintenance plow navigating through various weather conditions. Some great pictures! Any special licensing or certifications to operate such machinery?
