Buying new argo, transmission ponderings.

[Noel Woods]

Thanks for making that crystal clear Dan. You said in another post about pulling out stuck four wheelers that low range on the admiral tranny would be useful more often if you could turn off the reverse counter rotation. I agree on that and like your comments about an optional larger engine.

Regarding the more powerful engine issue, Polaris has a 570cc engine that puts out 35-38hp (depending on what rating source is quoted). Its liquid cooled, compact, and pretty much bullet proof. I'd like to see a similar engine offered by Argo as well as Mudd Ox.

I would certainly be interested to see something like that on paper.

I called my nearest dealer that keeps the machines in stock, a 3.5 hour drive away from me. He said if I wanted to test out a machine with an LS tranny and compare it with a hi torque transmission model I could call the day before and he could get the two machines ready for me to just drive them around the shop yard. Now hopefully I can remember to call ahead next time I go, I only go through that area 2 or 3 times a year.

Fox, any information on the gearing of the new tranny?????

[Fox Valley Argo Sales]

Nothing, so I'm just going to call next week and see if I can get some info that way.

I did get some more info on the trannys, the high speed admiral, "HS" is geared higher all the way around, and is not recommended for commercial,heavy hauling,deep swamp, etc because of the higher gearing.
The standard "STD" tranny is just that,and the "HT", high torque is low geared for heavy hauling,commercial,etc.
In a nutshell,the HS is more of a recreational,tranny to compliment the new double bead lock tire system,where you can go faster,with a smoother ride.

Thanks for this info, I was also wondering about this also

Thank you Fox valley!!!!!! Now call Argo and tell them if they will keep those gears and add a third gear with a low, low range that I am ready for another HDI!

LOL, I wish I had that kind of pull. It is nice, however,to get the inside scoop on some of the new changes,and relay them back to you guys on the forum,staying on the cutting edge of what is new at ODG.
