  • Excellent day

    Perfect day to ride, Just above freezing and 30"+ of snow. About 25km on abandoned cut lines and bush wracking, a great day! Escargo tracks work great!!! Heated grips are sweet!!!

              Not a complaint so far. It's still new with only a few trips out so far. It starts right up in the cold and performs as good as expected. My last Argo was back in the 70's so this is a big step up. I added a lot of extras, Handel bar Warmers, hood cooling fan, bilge pump, electric trolling boat motor controller (my own little invention), rigid led lights and wireless remote warn winch. When I went to check it out after the first 10 hours (79km) and do some maintenance their was nothing to do! Chains where all good, oils where still up, in the manual it said to check the tub-bearing gaskets and everything was still tight. The last time out I give it a real good work out with 4 riders, lots of snow, over downed trees and up some long steep hills.

                    Well that is good to hear that it goes through the snow ok, there must be close to three feet out there and it still is coming down. I was out by burnstick lake around Dec.11/13 and we could not go anywhere with chain up quads. You will have to post some pictures of it in the snow.

                        That sounds good, like I said I have being sitting on the fence about getting one ,if you don't mind me asking ,where did you get yours? I like the idea of having the extra room for hunting and or fishing equipment, I like the way you set yours up ,the led lighting is great and the custom light switches get my vote. Any future plans for a heater or soft top or cab ??

                          Gateway in rocky. Argyll in Edmonton may be a better choice for buying, they are the western Canadian distributed. They set the price and it don't matter where you go in Alberta the price is the same. Financing may be different from different dealers, I don't know, I never asked so where you buy will take a bit of homework and maybe a few phone calls. When I bought this one they offered between 3 and 10 years and payments as low as $130 biweekly or even less depending on what machine you want to get. I don't think ill do a cab and heater, still undecided. It will make the machine higher and be a bit restrictive but this time of year it would be nice at times!

                              How are you liking those suspension seats. Is it a little tight with two adults in them? Love the machine
