My last machine.

[2014SE]

This is my new 2014 Argo HDI SE. I intend this to be the last machine I will buy and set up. I ordered a SE because I wanted the suspension seats, brush guard and alternator but had some other ideas in mind. I had them add a bilge pump, rear bench seat and boat motor mount, the rest was done in my garage. I wanted hi/lo lights but didn't like the hella lights that come with it. I ordered 2 sets of Rigid LED lights, one set are spot and the other set are diffused. On low beam the diffused are on imitating a lower intensity 60 degree wide light pattern, on high beam I rigged it so the diffused lights stay on and the spot lights come on and you have the wide pattern and a long reaching spot light that lights up over a 100 yards of trail ahead of you. With all 4 lights on (hi & lo together) they draw less power as one regular headlight on low beam!! I chucked out the front signal markers and put on a set of smaller, brighter LED's that don't stick out in front to get ripped off in the brush, we all know what would happen to those! For the rear I took the cheapo tail lights that come with it off and chucked them, I got a set of flush mount rigid LED's and 3/4" LED for tail lights. The rear Rigid lights have a dash mounted switch but I also rigged it so they come on when the headlights are on and the machine is in reverse, I don't see any reason to have back up lights come on when you don't need head lights. I added a warn XT40 winch with a wireless remote with synthetic rope and also set it up with the available rear receiver with heavy duty 175 amp connectors. I ordered custom made rocker switches from www.otrattw.com cheaper than you might think!! I wired in a dash mounted winch switch and a master switch, the master must be switched on before the winch can be operated to avoid accidental operation by either the remote or dash mounted switch and this switch also operates a relay I installed to control power to a electric trolling motor. The trolling motor relay also has a battery saver switch inline, with this battery saver if your battery is run down to 10.7 volts it will shut off power to the trolling motor and you still have enough power to start the machine. I run a set of wires and heavy duty 75 amp plug to the rear just below the motor mount so it's a quick connect and your off. The last thing was tracks, after checking around and reading allot about what's out there I decided on escargo tracks. I'm sure theirs more things I might want to add in the future but for now this is my dream machine!!

Congrats on your new,most awesome ride!!
Love the switchout to led lights in front and back,mine are mounted to the front of the brushguard, and are getting torn off in the real thick stuff,not the best place for them.

Look's like fun ,those tracks seem to have no trouble in that loose snow.

I had a chance to finally see this video. I'm guessing maybe 5-7 mph with a fair bit of engine RPM. Are you in low range or in high-range with the CVT compensating for heavy load? That looked like a lot of fun and the tracks performed well, but it made me curious about high/low range. If it was "high" then you definitely need track tuners. Many escargo folks up here are now running them. I would love to see you with all the benefits your track offers and even better performance. Thanks for any info, and that is one awesome looking machine!
