My first Argo configuration advice and questions.

[mowbizz]

I have just learned the final pieces of my Argo financing will not be in place until next week, almost exactly when the new 2018 models can be ordered. I had hoped to get things done ahead of schedule, but it is what it is. I am looking into getting Juggernaut painted on the hood, as that is what I am going to name it. My excitement continues to build. I have no idea how I am going to survive until Juggernaut is delivered.

Barrows Argo is doing an outstanding job putting all this together, and I could not be more pleased. He is coordinating every aspect of this, whether it is third party or straight Argo. I will have a full turn key super Argo delivered to my driveway in a trailer. I can only do this once in my lifetime, so I am leaving no stone unturned.

Damn...even I can't wait to see this beast! I don't know how you can wait so long for it!

Thanks so much Steve for your time and consideration. I have contacted Bob.

but a nice unit for someone out there!

In northern New Hampshire, there are 1000 miles of connected trails that are legal for the Argo. If you check a page or two back, I posted a link to an annual event up there. They had the event Friday and Saturday, when I was at the dealership. Next year I will be there for certain.

steve, have you found any other members near you or a few hours away ? what about atv parks or trails to put your new machine thru it's paces and get it good and muddy !! johnboy va.

You just get a good nights sleep. Wish I could. Let us night shifters take it from here. Hope your Argo is everything you anticipate.

I have to take my wife to the eye doctor tomorrow to get the laser surgery done on her other eye. I wonder if the doctor can do something for me, as I have a bad case of Argoitis, and can't sleep.

The suspension seats are alright and really adjustable, I had them on my 2016 700HD. Now with my 2013 and the bench seat I prefer it over the suspension seats for how I use my machine. You can fit a little one easier on the bench seat like I have and there really isn't too much difference in comfort honestly. The suspension seats kinda force you close to your passenger where as you can space out more on the bench. It's hard to get much suspension out of the seats the way the Argo rides, it kinda shakes through the whole frame when you hit bumps anyways. Not so much up and down as you think but they did work somewhat. What was nice about them was being able to slide the seat back more then the bench and higher up for when riding through tall willows in overgrown cutblocks when hunting for a better vantage point.

I am so happy I have a 5 acre lawn. It may not be challenging, but it will certainly get a workout when my machine arrives. I can picture myself coming home from work, and spending hours just riding in the back yard, regardless of weather. I have one area that I have occasionally gotten my lawn tractor stuck in, and even though it is not even a tiny challenge for the Argo, I can't wait to drive through it.

Here it is, almost 3:00 AM, and I am so excited about my future Argo, I can't sleep. The thousands of videos just don't do it justice. As Bob Barrows drove it around obstacles, and up the hill, I really became aware of the potential of this machine. When I felt the response of the throttle, and the turning capacity, I knew that a life long dream was worth all the time it took to achieve it. I cannot wait until mine is configured and delivered.

Steve

Lol...I hope you can get some sleep between now and Oct 1st!
With the cooler weather today I went up in my woods and finished cutting my Argo loop trail...it's not very long (maybe a half mile total) but long enough to get my Argo fix when I want one!

He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to meet him and his wife. He may be a small dealer, but his knowledge is immense!
I highly recommend him!

This is the Argo I rode in, and drove today! It was awesome!



Steve

Is there any way to get in touch with these folks. I may be interested in purchasing this machine if its for sale.

[john swenson]

we are all excited !! i remember the first drive of my brand new max 2. had never ridden in one. and after having 2 or so old used machines that sputtered and banged around, that first ride just across the lawn was like riding in a rolls royce !!!! have fun and post pictures....johnboy va.
