Hello, I am Randy from Muskegon. I do not yet have a 6x6, but plan to in the no so distant future. I had a Cat-A-Gator some years back and was doing an internet search of Amphibious machines. The pictures of the Cat-A-Gator I sold came up and I remembered the fella that purchased it, telling me about this website. That was along time ago.

Anyway, here I am and looking forward to learning as much as I can from all you hardcore Amphibious Owners.

Randy and Kevin, welcome to the site.

Randy, I hope you find a machine that can get you back into the hobby again.

Kevin, If you will start a new thread in the "Ebay, Craigslist and More" forum you will get a better response to your question. It's really going to come down to personal preference so go drive both machines and see which one you like the best.

Hello,
I live near Palmer, Alaska. I have never had an AATV. I am dealing on a new Argo 750 HDI right now and trying to figure out the best items for the $1500 in included accessories. I am ready to slow down and get stuck a little less. I am also excited to take the wife fishing in the local lakes with the Argo. If we like this one, I want one for the bush too. I have been reading awesome info here about making tracks and tops.

Hi Aztoak, welcome to the site. I hope you finalize the purchase of your Argo soon so that you can get out and enjoy it some.

Welcome to the site, Seth. Try sending a message to 6X6World member Trebmaster since he also has a Puma Stalker, by Ski-Tow and he knows 6 wheelers very well. Hope this helps.
