Does anybody know the maximum load for towing is?
Does anybody know the maximum load for towing is?
Just done a quick google search and it states the towing capacity for a conquest is 1600lbs.
Argo Conquest 8x8
Here is some other towing capacities for other models...

Max Towing capacity for my Conquests is as much as they can pull without spinning out. Usually limited by ground conditions, soft, muddy, Muskeg, ect.

Hahaha, I think that was 17 sheets of 1/2" and 3/4" OSB Plywood across the back of the machine, I think thats close to 1,200lbs. Then the gear under the wood, plus a couple 200+ lb guys. It was probably about a Ton on the Conquest, that was the second load that day, and the only time I've ever broke an Axle. Was winter and in deep snow, no trailers involved :-).

No, not at all. My machine ended up sitting right there in the middle if the trail for about 2 months, untill spring when I could get to it with my quad and change out the axle. I drove my buddies machine back out.
This is from the trip in to fix it

Very cool the trips you get to make. Around here you can't go very far before you come to a paved road. I appreciate you sharing all these super cool videos.
