    Argo 8x8 for plowing snow

    Hey guys.

    I'm looking for real world experience and/or opinions on how good an Argo 8x8 would work for plowing snow on my fairly steep (a little less than 45 degrees), paved, 0.2 mile driveway.

    I've currently been using my neighbor's Bombardier ATV with a plow. It works well, but I'm looking to get my own machine. I've wanted an Argo since I was kid and in my search for an ATV, I ran across this one on Craigslist:

    Argo 8 wheel amphibious vehicle

    We typically get snow around 4 to 8 inches at a time during the winter. Last winter was the exception with a couple 12+" events. I'm thinking the Argo with 8 wheel drive would be able to easily plow my driveway. The steepness is the issue. I've tried other ATVs and have failed. Only my neighbor's big Bombardier seems to do the job.

    What do you guys think?
    Also assuming it's in good shape (haven't gone to look at it yet), is $4500 a good deal for this one?

    Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

    Have a great 4th.
