Out running errands today and seen this setting on display out in front of the Snowmobile Dealer.

The first pic turned out so well I decided to include my index finger in part of this one. :highclap:

I'd hate to see the price tag on it, but it sure seems like quite the toy.
Argo Avenger, About $19,000 Jim plus another five for the tracks. My wife still gives me grief and reminds me about the price tag, no tracks but $2500 into the top, it is one of the ultimate toyz though.

nice ride :yoyo:
That is one cool lookin off road in the water vehicle. :yoyo: I went over to their site and checked out their video's that thing is very versatile one even had an outboard motor on it.
One thing I did noticed was it seemed to bounce alot in rough terrain. John is it a fairly smooth ride? or was that just the way it appeared in the video? I would love to go play on one of those rough or not.
BTW I like the top on the one you got and like the fact you took flat Jerrod along. :yoyo:

Just ask her if she would like to pull the sled & haul your equipment for $1900. :sneer:
If it's any consolation; I'm glad you got it! :wink:
Two things better than having one of those ..... having the area to use it & the need for it! :eyebrow:
Oh WOW! That certainly is sweet john! I always wanted to try one out. I understand about the wife though. Mine reminds me about my toys.
Those are cool rides. Diane won't let me get one with only 4 wheels & a 1/3 of that $$. :laf: :laf:
I knew I had seen one of them bad boys somewhere John. I told the daughter when I drove by it and turned around, "Someone I know has one very close to that cause man does it look familiar." :laf:
Shoulda known :eyebrownod:
I would think that a vehicle like that would pay for itself many times over in your weather conditions.
It really looks like something we all need to have. Assuming we marry someone with LOTS of money. I didn't.

Rich, it is a bit bumpy if you go to fast, the trick is keeping all the tires at about 3lbs of pressure. The Argo is not meant to go fast, but to go anywhere. It is capable to run over small trees 4" in diameter, as well as pivot steering allows you to get off any trails leaving ATVs behind. The biggest reason I waited and bought one is its capability to carry 1000 pounds in the back and tow 1800 pounds. This allows me to bring in all my gear for a ten day hunt and still be able to haul out two moose if necessary
Hunt hard, Die tired

What he said. :bowingsmilie:
Since I don't live in the wilderness and most of my hunts start right from the house, I had to settle for this.

I'd love to have an Argo, but this was about half the price. Even at that, and being able to depreciate it off our taxes, I took a lot of heat from the sweetheart for buying it. After two years she is starting to cool down. :hahaha:
Those Argo's are nice but, in my case, I don't have the terrain and wide open spaces here in Kaintuckee to justify owning one.
I had a Rokon two wheel drive bike once and that thing could go anywhere. No trail needed. :nono:
My Honda Rubicon is my deer hunting partner now.
Very nice Tikaani! I wished sometime I had a need for one of those but we don't here in our area. This little unit serves us well here ...

We have a Honda Rancher 4x4 under the barn also that serves us good.
