Newbie to Argo

[TAK]

I have a couple of questions.

Mostly used for hunting and getting around marsh, 1-2' deep water with a relatively solid bottom, tall 5' grass. I am looking at a 750hdi with the suspension seats and tracks. i assume most will recommend getting a push bar and winch to start with as well? Also is the bilge pump an important option?

How well do they handle rocks? There are alot of rocks on our property throughout the trails and hidden in the mud, do i really have to worry or will the undercarriage take that sort of abuse(i am not going to be a rock crawler or anything).

Our property is divided in half by a 4-10' deep, 30' across steadily flowing river will this be navigable most of the time?

Are they any good in the snow without tracks or is that pretty much a must for 1' or better snow?

It will sit for a month at a time or more sometimes, is the maintenance alot? Is there anything i should know before i buy?

I know this is a lot of questions but i know 4 Wheelers and side by sides but the argo is new to me.

Thanks

IMHO, nothing you described requires tracks, with the exception of snow. Tires suck in the snow.
Pushbar and winch are good ideas, but I would build my own pushbar, the factory one is kinda wimpy.
Bilge pump........might be a good idea, although I've never sunk my Argo's from not having one.
Rocks won't bother you, although they can be hard on tracks at times
For the creek crossings, be aware that tracks don't swim worth a crap, with the exception of the Adair tracks.
Sitting for a month or two won't bother them, but it's a good idea to keep them maintained. IE Chains oiled and bearings greased.
