China AATV

[Rock Doctor]

You gota love this vid, lol
It doesn't show the machine driving through the swam (An Argo or Max could have been pushing it, for all we know, lol), doesn't show the 1,000lb "load". Nice blury shots of some ducks swimming/flying around, lol.
The winch is inside the Tub, possibly making it difficult to see if your winch line is balling up on one side of the drum, and....... as mentioned, how do you "Free Spool" it?
Was that shot of the fishing line wrapped around the Bearing Ext supposed to impress me? Like, fishing line would stop other machines in their tracks?

Still no takers on one of these machines eh?

I say keep them in China. We have a good selection of AATV's here in the good ol USA.

Exactly! And the way I saw them perform in the Youtube videos they posted, no thank you. They simply don't cut it.

Got in touch with wild panther by email and ask if they had any sales reps in the states yet. The reply said they did not but hoped to soon. So something must be wrong if it takes more than 3 years to start selling them here.

Ain't that nice

You have to buy from the guy on Ebay who wont give any details, keeps changing the price, and doesn't actually have any

I haven't figured out how to buy one if I wonted to can't find much info on there web site.

This subject keeps rearing it head. Buy one, then give us the report.

Has anyone ever seen the drive train on these aatvs? Wondering if it was a copy of the argo.

[Dixie]

I was just reading threw some old post killing time and ran across this one. After reading it all the way threw I had to ask because I hav'nt seen one yet. Was hoping someone had purchased one and could give the goods and bads about the machine. You may not even be able to buy one in the states not sure.

In 10 years time when the Chinese loss interest and you've driven max and argo out of business after 30 -40 years of manufacture,what then.The world forecast is china 10 years,followed by india then south africa as manufacturing hubs.Where are the clothes on your back made.If your clothing industry couldn't handle this pressure in the past,what makes you think the very small AATV market will.Your countries companies can not react quick enough when the Chinese come to town.You may not have a choice of machine soon.

Oh really? It's been 3 and a half years after you posted this message about "our countries not reacting quick enough when the Chinese come to town and us not having a choice of machine soon" and the US and Canadian AATV companies are still around and selling machines and I have yet to see ONE Chinese 8x8 AATV here.

[Dixie]

Wonder if anything ever came of these machines? Did they ever start selling them in the states?
