Howdy ya'll,

I am thinking about getting an ATV. Are the Argos FULL 6 wheelers? Well, I am sure ya'll understand what I am asking. But, what are ya'll's likes and dislikes/advantages and disadvantages of each? Thanks,

I think that they even have an 8 wheel drive modle.
they would be a little slow for my tast. But fun.

I was looking at The Polaris Ranger, in the six wheel drive.
You can go to they're site and see a small video of it.
It&#39;s nice because it has a dump bed. http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-biggrin-aqua.gif

Are there any other "amphibian" ATV&#39;s? What is the max. MPH on the Argo? How much weight can it hold? Thanks,

I think there&#39;s one called the Maxxus (spelling?) http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-rolleyes-green.gif
I guess you could find out the other stuff (Max H/P, max speed, and Cap.) on line? http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-idea-blu.gif

- ARGO 8x8- " 18-20MPH
- ARGO 6x6- Land= 700lbs cap. Water= carries 2 adults
- ARGO 8x8- Land= 1000lbs cap. Water= carries 4 adults
- Regular unlead gasoline
- 16-20hp depending on model
- Speed on water, approx. walking speed (2MPH) or you can use up to a 9.9hp outboard motor
- Can be used on snow also, with correct tracks
- ALL ARGO models are fully amphibious and can be driven onto water with no special preparation.

Don&#39;t know prices though.
