Hello everyone! I'm Tom and wanted to say hi! My family and I just moved from a small college town into the country on about 70 acres. We now own a mountain side with 4 large gullies and lots of rough terrain, not very ideal land but it was a good deal and got us out of town. There are lots of large land owners in our area (we are small compared to everyone else) that have trails for riding atv's. We are planning to do some hobby farming on our property, chickens, pigs, bees, etc. along with cutting firewood for our own use. I have been looking at UTV's and somehow ended up here after doing some google searches. I have been reading a bunch on this site and getting excited about the idea of owning an aatv. The comments here are great and everyone provides a ton of encouragement and support. I hope to learn from you all and maybe in the next 6months to year make a decision on what to buy for use on our property. Thanks for making such a great site and I hope to be able to contribute in the future.

Yes sir I want to test out the argo max 2. If you have any info or suggestions let me know. what is the best place to buy parts at?

[CableDWG2000]

I am new to the 6X6 world. I just purchashed a 1998 Max IV last week. I have been riding atv's for several years. I ended up having a lot of bad luck with my recent ATV so I have decided to sell it and purchased the Max. I feel I got it for a far price of $2000.00. But it does have a transmission issue cause only one side pulls at this time. I know when it comes time for me to start working on it this is the best place to get advice/help with issues. I live in South Ga just north of Valdosta. I do a lot of riding at an ATV park called Mudmuckers in Fl. I have not seen any 6x6's there and I would like to possibly be the first to have one there. Thanks Cable

Hi Cable,
Welcome to the site.
The t-20 trans in your machine may just need adjusting.....here is the manual. http://www.6x6world.com/forums/conte...er-manual.html the last page is the adjustment instructions.

If you need to rebuild it, there is a "how to" on the homepage also. If you are mechanically inclined that is.
If not, let me know, I have a couple fresh rebuilts.

Relined bands are cheaper than new. Motion Industruies has the bearings and seals except the main brgs (they are special) and the case half seals ( factory only).........That stuff can be bought at the Max factory Contact Us - Amphibious Six-Wheel Drive All-Terrain Vehicles: MaxATVs - Call 1-800-255-2511

Hello all, as my handle discloses i'm the proud new owner of a 96 MaxII, picked her up Thursday.. Came with a 3klb warn, 3/4 tread rawhide III"s on her and a 12v socket.. As a father of 2 yound children my sport quads and dirtbikes left to be replaced by a tired ol arcticat cougar 550 for the snow and a JD Gator 2x4..that is until now.. The family is enjoying her so far, spen 8hrs cruising around some new land my brother in law just aquired here in north east pa. Im looking forward to getting to know everyone and get some answers on/about my new toy. Cheers, Travis.

I found this great forum as a branch-out from scaledtanks.com, as my son and I are planning to build a 2-person scaled tank. The idea of the T-20 transmission lead me here. It sounds like a T-20 might be a great answer, comparing to some home-made multi-belt-selector possibilities or a total hydraulics package. Looks like a T-20 is strong enough - just trying to assess if there are newer/better options or a good forward-looking supply of parts and so forth. Thanks for the great forum!

[Mike]

Welcome to the site. A T20 would be a great transmission to use. It's relatively cheap, common, hard to break and easy to fix. Good luck with your tank.

Hey! Been looking at AATV's for a long time. Been riding in my friends' for a while,too. Finally pulled the plug and I am picking up a Max II when the seller and I can coordinate schedules( Darn this busy life!!)
