New members, introduce yourself here

[Mike]

Hello Gruffy, welcome to the site. Congratulations on picking up your first Argo.

[monkstr6100]

[Festus]

I don't know what happened to the old thread so I will sticky a new one here. All of the introduction posts can go here so they are in one thread.

Don't be shy, tell us a little about yourself. Do you own an amphibious atv? If so, what kind. Where do you live, etc?

We look forward to meeting you.

Mike

I am an Argo 6x6 owner since April 2015, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. My main interest in this site is to obtain assistance for maintenance issues. I am a backyard mechanic and usually I am successful in fixing what I take apart (no extra parts after I am finished)LOl LOl

Hi Festus, What model Argo do you have? Can you post a picture of it. I am in Prince Edward County and do most of my own maintenance. I have a new 750 hdi.

Maxx II.jpg

My name is David. I'm a 67 year old pensioner of Ryder Trucks and I recently moved to the Great Lakes region of western Pennsylvania...on the lee side of Lake Erie, the snow belt.

I bought this 3 owner 1999 Max II to enable me to bust a hole in a beaver dam and drain their 9 acre mosquito infested swamp. So far, so good. The game commission declared them a nuisance on my property and gave me permission to exterminate them any way I see fit. I took the PC route the last 2 winters and had 2 top notch beaver trappers do their thing without complete success. Now I'm taking matters in my own hands and this RI 6x6 is a big help for this old geezer.

I'm not sure which Max II model this was originally, the 450 or 500, as it now has the upgraded 18 horse Vanguard engine. You can see from the pic it has other options, 2500# winch, windshield, rollbar, rear cargo rack, upgraded tires and a 60" snow plow. I recently installed a shotgun rack on the vertical rollbar support. (not pictured)

I'm happy to be a part of this group and hope to learn some things from you 6x6 veterans.

Festus, welcome to the forum. No extra parts is always a good thing. Unless you're missing a bolt.

David, welcome to the forum. Good luck keeping your beavers away. While I'm sure removing the dam was work, I bet you managed to have a little fun in your Max.
