New members, introduce yourself here

[AFCop1]

Hello everybody from the State of Minnesota. I have been following this site for some time and have finally decided I had better introduce myself. I have been a outdoors person my entire life as a avid hunter, fisherman as well as camper and have explored out of reach places by foot and with dirt bikes, snowmobiles, 3 and 4 wheel ATVs and SXS UTVs and figured I need to explore further into the well known swamp lands of Minnesota for the elusive monster whitetail bucks and the sights to be seen. So here I am, looking for answers for which brand and model AATV is the best and provides the most bang for the buck and isn't a maintenance hog. I'm going to plead ignorance with the current brands and be honest the last AATV I drove was a Amphicat back in the mid 1970s and it was a blast!

I can only welcome you, not provide answers as to what machines are best. I'm a new member and argo owner so my journey has just begun as well. Anyway, welcome aboard and good luck with your decision!

This is my second argo. Both machines are high maintenance. When i say high maintenance I am comparing it to a quad, sxs dirt bike type of vehicle. That being said if you get on any problems as they occur your maintenance woes will be less. Keep them greased, chains lubed, tire pressures etc along with proper engine maintenance. That is with any piece of equipment. What is your budget? Are thinking new, used? Can you get that big buck in the machine? Do you hunt alone or with a buddy? What level of mechanical skills have you? How are you fixed for tools and a place to work on it? I know guys who have had all kinds of these machines that don't know which end of a hammer to pick up. These are just some things to think about. Best if you can try out some different machines. I am partial to the Argo because I live in Canada, about an hour away from the factory, haven't had a real chance to try out other machines. I too, have had dirt bikes, quads and a side x side. The Argo is best suited for my needs. It comes down to what you want and like. Which ever you pick, you will be alternating from a grin ear to ear to turning the air blue.. Oh yeah, get a winch....whatever you get .....get a winch.

Hello, I am new to the Argo scene and just recently purchased a 2000 conquest. Been having some issues with it most recently the throttle cable broke. Tried taking it apart and lost the springs of the control plate down in the engine compartment and don’t know where they go on the plate. If anyone an give me some advice it would be much appreciated. Love the group. Thanks Loki.

hello guys! another newcomer to the forum. Been reading and learning a lot from you guys since 2020 from google search and finally made my decision on a 6x6 frontier efi argo recently. looking forward to lots of fun and splash, cheers!

Hello everyone, just picked up an Amphicat that is pretty beat up. I have been reading articles that have provided sooooo much great info about it though. I just got new tires for it mounted on the rims and wheel conversion kits you all suggested. Had lots of fiberglass cracks I have repaired too. Now I have a piece in the CDI ignition control that seams to be missing. I think the old Rockwell engines are just Ski-Doo engines though right? Any ideas on a part number though? Thanks!

Hi there from Vancouver Island, BC! Just got my first Argo project. She's an 80's 8x8 with a newer Honda 400 motor in it. It's a project for sure, but I look forward to diving into it and hopefully having it ready for some fun soon. If there are any local members to me, I would welcome any and all help with this beast!

I've never owned a six wheeler until recently. Always been into dirt bikes and building trucks. My uncle passed away and left me his Max 2 6x6 and a completely restored it. This Thread has provided me with some excellent information. But the best info is literally tearing it apart into pieces and figuring out everything 1st hand. It was an incredible project, although back-breaking from being bent over working in the tub, my uncle would be excited to see this machine in the condition that is it in.

My name is Mike, but yall can just call me Bubba. I picked up a pristine 2005 max II about a year and a half ago, and Ive had a blast with it so far, but Im learning about it more and more each day. I love it. Im looking at making some mods to it, windshield, enclosure, maybe tracks etc. I live in Alaska, so its perfect for getting me across the terrain out here. Ive been on this site a while now, but this is my first post. Lots of info floating around and I really appreciate having knowledgeable folks to reach out to. Looking forward to meeting you all.
