My Max is not an Argo
Just thought I'd start this thread because I know there's other people who have the heard the same thing. Everywhere I go people call my Max IV an Argo. Not that I have anything against Argo as they are awesome machines as well and hope to own one some day. I just get tired of trying to educate people.
Just the other day I was asked if I could bring my "thing with tracks on it" over to a guys house to pack down his woods roads since we got a foot of snow and the ground wasn't froze he kept getting stuck. After riding with me for an hour we packed everything down so it could freeze good he says " boy that Argo works good" I just went with it because we had the same discussion last year when I made roads for him.
Last year I gave two of my friends a ride out on the ice. They weren't familiar with my "Argo" at all. We got out to our spot and set up. Nobody said anything about their first ride in an amphib. After a while a Polaris ranger with tracks came past us and those guys just about wet themselves because everybody has heard of a Polaris. They also heard about a machine just like it that went through the ice towards the end of the season. I then explained to them why I run a Max or as they like to call it an Argo.
One other time while buying paint at the hardware store for my enclosed trailer the guy asked if I hauled an atv in it. I replied yes. He asked what kind. That's when my girlfriend spared me the trouble and told him all about it while I went up front and paid for it since we were in a hurry. She's gotten real good at answering all the normal questions as well. How fast does it go, how big of engine, is it like an Argo and on and on.
Just thought I'd start this thread so others can share their experiences educating the four wheeler crowd.
What it lacks in ground clearance it makes up for with traction.
