  • The Glock of ATVs! Max II 6x6 Amphibious All Terrain Vehicle

    Hey guys! I'm sorry that I missed you all at Busco this spring, but I plan to be there for the fall ride and maybe even stay a night!

    I got out to Busco over Labor Day weekend and made a video about the Max II for my new YouTube channel, TWANGnBANG. Check it out and let me know what you think!

    I linked this forum in the video description because there is no way I would've ever had to courage to buy one of these if it weren't for this forum and its members.

      Great video Raleigh Trainer! What a great way to market these excellent machines. They took out your favorite mud holes at Busco Beach with the heavy equipment because all those 4 wheelers and side by sides get stuck and bury themselves in there......our machines are the only ones that can make it through.

          awesome video.Its truthfull and well shot and entertaining.The argo factory needs to hire you to make a video for them.The argo 2012 factory video leaves alot to be desired.You actually address some of the negatives about these machines.

            Thanks, everybody! It was fun to make.

            I plan on evaluating more ATVs in the future- being close to Busco Beach makes that easier because of all of the ATV demos that go on there.

              Sweet, I'd like to see some ATV reviews from a real persons perspective lioe yours. If we ever get to make it out to busco at one of the 6x6 get togethers with the max ll and my old kingquad 300 your welcome to do a review on it!!! 3 range 5 speed and it could pull an Argo backwards if I was determined enough. Pulled my dads f350 crew cab long bed that weighs about 8500lbs up a slight grade!!!

                  I'm sure your King Quad does a good job at what it was designed to do, but there's no way it would ever pull an AATV backwards. I've personally seen AATVs hooked up back to back with some big 4x4 quads with lots of money dumped into them and the AATVs always pulled them backwards. Here's an example:



                  Many of the quad guys had the attitude that AATVs were just a joke when we all started bringing them to big ATV parks like Busco a few years back when 6X6World started. Now, they see us do the crazy stuff we do and those super deep mud holes we cross and they have a lot of respect for our machines because they know our rigs are superior for the really bad terrain. Now they watch in amazement as a pack of us walk through places where they struggle and get stuck. The best thing you can do is come try it out for yourself and you'll be amazed too. Then you'll want to get another AATV, and then another, and then another.

                      I believe my king quad could pull an aatv backwards. This is not one of the newer big bore kingquads it is an old 300ccc and has a 162.5:1 low range and relies on gearing not power so you don't go spinning. Guess if my dad will do it once we get the max running good we'll have to test it out. Plan to get an aatv myself sometime but they are about 2000-3000 here (my dad got the max for 1500 amazingly) and can't find any that are 1500 or lower.

                        That's what's great about this country. You can believe whatever you want to believe no matter how crazy it is.

                            I'm located in Statesville (less than a 2 hour drive), and have 9 AATV's on my property right now of many makes and models, let me know when you want to have a pull off, and with which machine. I might get proven foolish, but I'm always up for a challenge!

                              Not that I want a King Quad but I would be willing to bet my Max against your King Quad in a back to back pull in say three feet deep of really soupy sticky mud, winner gets the other persons vehicle. You can use any gearing you like I will just use my tracks.
