Hello to everyone!

Hi everyone-

I'm on the verge of buying my first argo, a 2019 Aurora 800 8x8. It will be used for ice fishing and hunting. I own property that the majority is a dense, nasty, cedar swamp. I'm not sure the argo will traverse it, but maybe if I chainsaw,clear, move forward, and repeat, I can make progress.
My major question is the hitch weight capacity of this machine. It has about the same towing capacity as my kubota 1140 rtv. I use the kubota to maneuvre my boat into the garage. The boat/trailer weigh around 5k. I use a drop hitch turned downside up on the kubota to keep the tongue weight down, but it's still gotta be 300# or so. Kubota handles it but it is a tight space and have to do about a fifty-point turn. The maneuverability of the argo would be a huge asset. Just wondering 1.) if the argo could handle the hitch weight and 2.) can it handle the weight of the boat on a slight grade backing into garage.
This isn't a "make or break" on whether I buy the argo. I can keep both machines. But it would be nice to know. Thank you, Dan

Unsure as to the hitch weight or not 5k is over the listed rating, however should you try it, reversing a trailer in an Argo is a little different. find an open area and place some markers like a driving test before you try to maneuver your trailer in the garage.

Welcome to all the recently new members, hopefully you find this site educating and useful. There are plenty of members on here with knowledge of usages and repairs. be patient on responses as the site has slowed some.

That is excellent advice,thankyou!

Hello all, I am new to the 6x6 world. I just picked up an Attex with a Rockwell JLO engine (not sure if it's a 400 or 440) and a t20 transmission in it. I am excited to fix it up and get it out on the trails but finding info on this machine is difficult. I have already got a lot of good info from this site. Can anyone suggest some good threads to read through for a beginner like me?

[ARGOJIM]

Read through some of the Attex forum. Without seeing a pic I would read about chief thunder chief or st400 as those 3 came with twin jlo engines.

Hey guys. I'm new to the board. I've been riding a Polaris Ace for 5 years now but am wanting to get into the aatv world. I figured this was the best place to get the best information. I look forward to all the conversations. Thanks.
