My bother-in-law and I both picked ours up on Dec 27 at Idaho Rigging in Priest River, Idaho. The build date on both of them was December 20. They actually arrived at the dealer on Dec 23. They must put the build date sticker on it when it is put in the crate. I got a White M1100T Limited and he got a Green M1100T SnowPro. We put on about 100 miles on them over the weekend and they both work great with no problems. The worst thing about them is trying to do the proper break-in. When I had about 80 miles on it I did give it full throttle a couple of times and run it up to 70 mph. It pulls good but it does not feel a whole lost faster than my old 2003 1M 900.
