  • Things learned last weekend

    Been wanting to play in the snow with my Argo since I got it, well thanks to a freak snow storm last week end I findly got to play in the snow. Learned I cant go throught 2ft of powder snow. Me and a freind, and my brother inlaw were hunting. Its nice to get away from other driving around on the roads. so we headed out off the main roads to 4x4 trails. first time I got stuck, my brother pulled me out, and boy did I hear it from him, but he only got the length of in atv more than me and got stuck. Learned not to fight the snow, the machine wouldn't get stuck if I let it go. and If we got out and just lifted the rear then the front over a little it would come out on it own. Some pour kid had fallowed use up a trail and got stuck after slideing down the hill and wedging him self against a tree. found even though it was a New Toyota it was to heavy for me to pull out, so we tied the Argo off to a tree and pulled with the wenched on him while he powered back up on the trail. These kids were so happy, the driver was in shock, if we would have not come back down that way they would have had to walk back two miles in the snow just to get to the forest road. I'm still waiting for the pictures.

    seems like if you let it "set up" for a week, it will be easier too. That is my 2 cents. at least that is true for snow machines. were you tracked? what kind of track? what year and model of argo

      That was the question running through my mind as I have had mine in two and a half feet of snow with no problems, and mine is tracked...
