Admiral Transmission in Argo 6x6

[thejunkman]

looks like argo is going to offer a admiral tranny in a 6x6 version called a 650hd..

It looks like some HDI options like the admiral tranny are finding their way into a few other models as well, like the 700HD.... plus the suspension style seats available as an option on some models...

will it make the nose any lighter?

Argo's website shows a 6x6 with the admiral trans. Looks like a frontier 650 (23 briggs)

I wonder what MSRP is.

Looks awful expensive to me. but it is cool looking

I'm still on the fence about the new Tranny at the moment. Parts are not available at all. A friend of mine just pulled another tranny out of one of the HDI's at work and had to send the whole thing back to Argo just becouse the oil level sight glass broke.
They have also had issues with the Output Shaft Splines.

Important to note that these machines are used HARD, on tracks 24/7, and would not be representative of NORMAL use.

I've been driving one around a little bit, it takes some "getting used to", Power is great. Turning is almost "Scary Fast" in low range. In High range it does not turn tight enough to make sharp corners. Everything comes at a price though. Overall, with the limited experience I have with them, they seem to be working out. With any luck, I will take one out for a real ride sometime in the next couple weeks and have a vid and review for you.

My buddy just got his for about $22,000. He then promptly made a couple HUGE holes in the lower tub for me to fix I think I already mentioned that though.

ODG makes the Admiral transmissions so they have the parts, they are just new so if there are any issues they want the trannys back instead of having people tinker in them. So far I haven't heard of any issues.
