      Very cool article. I like the line that says, "Even more remarkable is that Oxender has done it during a near meltdown of the national and global economies." How true it is for all businesses right now, but look at Argo and Max. They have been in the business for 40 years yet Matt comes right in and directly competes for their customers. The introduction of the Argo Titan proves Matt is taking their customers, just watch Argo's videos of the Titan and their suttle knocks against the Ox. The companies buying amphibs for oil fields, forestry, and other commercial applications is certainly where the money is.
      Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.

          That was a great article, our hobby is slowly making a strong comeback. new competition manufacturing amphib's will help keep the currant designs from getting stagnate. my hats off to Matt O, not many could have tackled such a feat,

            My favorite part about the video is that they showed a clip of the 60s Argo that my dad restored in the now Mudd-Ox factory

            Mudd-Ox has come a long way from the first prototype! I plan on posting some prototype videos next week

              Post up some pics/video of some of the custom Ox's. Matt showed me just a few of them, such as the fire fighting rig, and they are very impressive. Not many people have seen them or know an Ox is a lot different than the basic unit seen on ride videos. That picture of his new XL model nose to nose with a regular Ox is just crazy...

                What are the tub dimensions of the XL Mudd-Ox tub when compared to the base model Mudd-Ox tub? Can you order a base model Mudd-Ox with the XL tub?

                  Where is a picture posted at? We dont have any video of the EMT unit. We made a video for an innovation award nomination which has stunning footage of some different machines. Just depends which parts I'm allowed to upload to youtube... We'll see Tuesday

                    The XL picture and firefighting OX I'm referring to was shown to me on Matt's computer at the Badlands ride. It's not on the internet yet, but it would be nice if it was.

                      Nick,

                      Great article, thanks for sharing it with us. I was wondering if it was possible to come visit your operation and test drive an Ox on a Saturday, I live in Michigan about 3 hours away and would love to see your set up and the machines. Are you open on weekends or only during the week for visitors?

                          Matt O. would be the one to contact for the appointment. You can call him at 574-903-5662.

                            Hi Ed,
                            You are welcome to come see the shop and play on a Mudd-Ox anytime. Give me a call at 260-768-7221 to set somthing up. Many times I am here on the weekends playing with the vintage six wheelers or working on projects. We will be gone to Ashatabula October 19,20,21 2012.

                              I would think it would be worth the trip to the Mudd-Ox factory just to see the vintage stuff!
