Sounds Heavy?
A friend who works out in the bush (Not with the same company as me) is supposed to get a couple of them to try out. I'm looking forward to hearing how they do.

Found something:

Looks like the same stuff though?

I think an Argo Centaur starts at about $69,000 and this new Argo 8x8 will probably be close to that same price or maybe more? At the price that Matt sells a base Mudd-Ox 8x8 for he has nothing to worry about in competition from this machine.

2013 Argo Titan

Hey Guys,

Long time no talk, I've since sold my Argo, but still have the hobby running through me veins!

Went up to my local dealer and seen a strange looking Argo... but could it be...

It was!!

My dealer is one on the only ones in Canada (and the only in Ontario) to have the new 2013 Argo Titan Demo.

Dosen't look liuke there's anything posted on here of it yet, so thought I'd make this thread.

The machine is essentially an Argo Centaur chassis, single roller-80 chain, auto chain lubers, top and bottom automatic chain adjusters, the whole works, with an Argo HDI tranmission and engine (Kohler 750cc 31hp EFI and the Argo Admiral transmission).

It has some pretty neat features, one of which we were really impressed with. The steering column can be slid from the right, to the center, to the left side of the machine via a post running along the length of the firewall, it also doubles as a handle.

Just ask if you have any questions, the owner of the dealership gave us the complete breakdown on it, I'm just to tired to post anymore, just got off nightshift

Ok, picture time!! (sorry about the fence and all the argos around it, made it akward as hell to take pictures plus I had to use my telephoto lens lol)















































Sweet looking Argo Centuar too, love the Argo Heat tires!

Thanks for the pictures. I've heard rumors of that machine from the dealer show but this is the first time it's really been shown to the public. Very interesting chain/sprocket design. No inner bearing... that frame must be extremely tough.
Argo usually shows their new models in September. Since this one was a demo, did your dealer have any idea of the price once it's officially released? I bet it's $25k+.

He said there won't be any "official" info coming out for a month, new pamphlets will be out in August.

Price is $28,000.00CAD for a bare model.

And yes, my thinking too about the axel assemble, though it's similar to the set-up in the Centaur; it's equipped with greasable tapered roller bearings.

Thanks for posting the pictures.That is a mean looking argo.

You the man 8X8 two stroker!!! I want one.... maybe ill find a used one in ten years!!!

[mudbug3]

I really like how easy it is to work on.

[coosaridgerider]

It has 31hp on the serial number plate.

The Argo Titan has the top and bottom automatic chain tensioners just like those that are used on the Argo Centaur and not like the chain tensioners that are now used on the other new Argo models. Does this mean that the Argo Titan can counter rotate like the Centaur model? It also looks like it has automatic chain oilers too?
