    After you acquire a machine take it for a ride and listen to and feel it out, if all feels good take it for a longer ride and do the same. After you get a bunch of trouble free hours on it you can ask about upgrades and these guys will chime in with many different opinions and options. Hope you enjoy what ever you get.

    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    Advice is free, it's the application that costs.

        Possibly, a duck hunter gonna tell you, camo it, marsh guy/tracks,waterguy/ outboard and bilge pump, outfitter/racks, you get the picture. Biggest thing is keeping things lubed and adjusted, after all when your out and about it's better to get here in a beater than be broke down in a supercar (cept maybe the women).

Are tracks a must? Are there ever any used tracks for sale? Any tools special tools I need to get? Yes I'm stoked. Sorry for all the questions.
          Buying many of the accessories will be expensive......it is usually cheaper to buy a machine with them already there.
          For example, Argo tracks for a new machine cost $3500. Argo tracks for a 20 year old machine ....cost $3500.
          Occasionally you can find used tracks, but not that often. There are also cheaper tracks out there, but, like everything else, there are advantages and drawbacks. If the advantage is price, is the drawback performance?
          Do a little more research, and get what YOU want and need.
