First off, I am new to the Argo world. I just purchased a 2012 8x8 Argo Hdi with the 750 efi engine. The machine has rubber tracks on it also. I read these machines will do about 20 mph, so I am assuming that is without the tracks. How fast should it go with tracks on normal level ground?
I can only go about 6-8 mph with the tracks on. Is this normal or not? Don't know if I need to look at something, like clutching.
I am sure I will have many more questions, as I am just learning about this machine.
What conditions are you driving in? My Chanel Tracks top out at 12.5mph in semi packed snow on the level. I have the 3.3 tranny, also the track are raised belt so they have a gear/speed reduction also.
Thanks for the replies!! I was just driving on gravel. I know there are a lot of factors, including driving surface, weight of the machine with extras, weight of cargo, etc. This was my first real drive in the Argo so I was expecting more speed than 6-8 mph. Also wondering if it seemed normal to all of you, or if I have an issue that I need to look for.
How do I determine what transmission is in mine? I am assuming there are markings somewhere that I can look for.
Shotgun, can you explain your comment about the tracks being a gear reduction?? I am not following you on that one.
Hummmmmm? My Argo Frontier 750 EFI 8x8 with a 3.3 transmission and Adair tracks tops out at 15 mph, 6-8 mph seems awful slow, do you have the machine in low range? It does have a two speed transmission you know. High range should get about 15 mph give or take.
Do some reading in the tire/track forum on raised belt style tracks, there is lots of info there. Or search it, has been covered very well and no use writing a big explanation that is there already.
