I suppose the outboard would be a big help on large ponds but where
would you stow it afterwards? a 9.9 HP is not all that small and would
require a 5 gallon gas tank as well.
Probably if you were riding solo or got the 4 seater 8 wheel model you
could toss it in the back.

I meant the kind of Rocks that Nathan regulary rides which he has some
pics of where he takes his Quad. I don't think I could handle terrain
that's that severe but his Quad will do it.

I've seen the pics of the 8x8's and the T-Max or whatever it's called.
They look kinda fun to play with but I would want more speed.
The M29 would cost you about $10K for a decent one and it's not in the
same league as anything else. You'd need a decent Full sized pickup to
tow it. unlike the Argo or any Quad. The M29 weighs like 3,000 lbs.!!
Still I'd like like to bomb around in an argo for a day.

Have you see what the Rhino can climb tho? I guess when it comes time
for me to buy one I'll try them all out and see which one I like the
best. I'd just grab an M29 if I had a local mechanic who could work on
Studebaker engines.

Well you said Quads couldn't make it to the camp. The only reason
would be if you needed to float over small ponds to get there.
I've seen Quads around here dragging out deer. They seed teh area with
apples from the orchard then when hunting season comes they get into a
good position and wait with the Quad waiting nearby.
>Understood, this machine is unique and a lot of people can't visualize

Well it has 6 wheels but it's Tub design also has some drawbacks.
No ATV is perfect tho. The Argo looks like it would be tough to roll
but I don't know how steep a hill it can tackle.

The Argo is quite expensive but I would want to use it more than a
couple of months out of the year.
I guess i prefer Toys. :)
>My Ski Doo is my real toy
I still don't know if I can handle the seating position for hours upon
hours of riding. No way would I get an Elite even if I could afford
it.
I'll have to rent later on in the year. I've only seen Artic Cats for
rent tho.

The cops heer just love to stop people with trailers. Even more if
it's a car pulling it. Thewy have these inflatable pillows they have
you drive on and it weighs the trailer. The fines are very high for
being overweight. I don't know how high but enough that I don't want
to deal with it. I think a Jeep is rated to pull 1500 lbs.
My car is rated to pull 1000 lbs. 500 over even at $10 per pound over
and you are broke fast.
I'll have to verify everything with the dealer once I make up my mind.
I might even check out the 6x6 Rangers if they handle mud so well.

Yeah it sucks when you total your back and all the stuff you used to
do is now Verbotten.
I'm probably going to rent a sled for a couple of days this winter and
see how well I do on it.
Heck it was snowing a little bit here all day but mixed with rain.

2000 pounds. interesting enough, the identical jeep in europe is rated at
5000 pounds. i wonder if right hand drive somehow magically gives it more
capability? :-)

theyre amazing in the mud, but i wouldnt buy one on that alone. the rhino
was pretty impressive in the mud as well. probably not quite as much as the
6x6, but its certainly no slouch either. ill know more when im able to open
it up after the engine is broken in.

theyre amazing in the mud, but i wouldnt buy one on that alone. the rhino
was pretty impressive in the mud as well. probably not quite as much as the
6x6, but its certainly no slouch either. ill know more when im able to open
it up after the engine is broken in.
