i would like to get a plow for the argo. is there anywhere other than a dealer that i can get one? also does the factory plow tilt or is it just a strait blade? what would i expect to pay from a dealer? thanks again. SETH

Cant speak for the other available plows, but I can share what I know a bit about the factory plow. The plow pivots across 3 angles left, centered and three angles right. You have to get out of the Argo to adjust the angle. The mounts for the plow allow you to attatch it at three slightly different heights, allowing you to choose between a more or a less agressive bite. Im gonna share some photos when I get high speed internet. Factory plow is a solid unit for sure.

very cool. i guess it will be worth the money to go with a factory plow. i have an 1/8 mile driveway and two other driveways branch of of that so i will need something that is rugged. thanks for the info. seth

Correction

I said the Agro plow pivots across 3 left and three right positions, then I noticed later that its actually four positions either side of center.

more plow stuff

After a month of plowing with the Argo; I am really getting the hang of it! My favorite thing is climbing one track right up onto the snowbanks and then dropping the blade and chopping them banks right down out of the way. Its also great how you can spin 90 degrees on a dime, pushing the snow in front of you off into the the snowbank in one swift motion.

I own an Argo Conquest & have the factory plow. I use it quite a bit, now that we have some decent snow amounts! I plow about a mile of shoulder here on our road plus 10 long driveways for neighbors. I do all of that in less that an hour with less than a gallon of gas!! I like the fact that I can climb over the snow, as it banks & keep all of our driveways their full width & length! I also get really close to everyone's mail box & newspaper tubes so that retreiving mail & newspapapers doesn't become a problem & someone sliding into the ditch. (our ditches are about 3-4 ft. deep).

I will be sure to get the factory plow if I ever get the bigfoot. Can't seem to get anyone to buy my quad. need that money to get the argo. soon I hope. If it takes much longer I won't have to worry about a plow untill next year.
I am really looking forward to doing some plowing.

Heah Salamander,

How much did you pay for your factory plow?

I found the snowplow kits surprisingly affordable

Now I was quoted when I was looking at buying an Argo new but I was shocked when I was told it was only extra couple of hundred for the snow plow option. I for get the exact amount but it was between $200 and $300.
Argo part # 657-13 or 657-21 for avenger
You will need a winch to operate it.

I was looking into a snow blower option ( custom with its own motor ) that is big bucks from what I have seen .
