Nice video Dan and really good editing to show the action for those of us who could not attend. I wanted to ask you now that you have some seat time and a little direct comparison what are your thoughts on 8 wheels compared to 6 and your Adair tracks at Busco?

On a side note, how about those Aqua Torques on the Max? I know they get a bad rap for ride and slow swim speed but for their size they are tough to beat in the mud I think. I just can't bring myself to sell mine.

Hey Keith, Just my opinion but those Aqua Torque tires seem to be as good or better then any mud tire I have seen on a 6x6. I have also seen them on an Argo 8x8 and they simply smoked every other machine with tires. If you can live with the ride and a poor swim speed I believe they might be the ticket for a 6x6 mudder. I have to believe they would be top dog on a Frontier 650 HD (for mud purposes-because of the ground clearance and the smooth Argo bottom).
I was totally fascinated watching the blue MaxIV with Aqua tires attack mud holes. It seemed as if he moved through everything twice as fast as every one else with tires.

Pertaining to the 6x6 vs 8x8. I am totally sold now on the 8x8. With the extra 2 feet of track on the ground I can drive through rough areas almost twice as fast as the 6x6 with what I consider a very good ride. The ride with tracks is even better then the Argo 24 inch tires (I tried them both). The good the ride quality and the extra bite carries me and passengers through the most awful conditions. The 31 horse injected Kolher stays cool with the modified exhaust and sounds just awesome.

As for now I absolutely love my HDI, tomorrow that could change.

I missed seeing everyone this ride,someday I'll make it back down. Dan,great video,thanks for posting. Don't quote me but,I think the Carolina Boys can take credit for the discovery of the "wave push". They showed me in 2010 how it works. It's really cool when ya float up outta the hole you've been fighting and getting nowhere! Drew,I'll be in touch about making Meadville this coming sat or sun,whichever is better for you.

Hey Joe, got to give credit for the wave to Roger S (RIP) I learned it from watching the Haspin videos.

Great video Dan, we seemed to be in different rides all the time but our paths crossed on the trails. It was more of a mud fest this go around. Made for a very interesting ride.

Thanks for taking the time to video all that to share. It has to be hard to stop and take time for videoing when you're having that much fun. Wish you guys weren't so far away. Maybe some day.

great video Dan, was nice to meet you and your son, maybe one day I will venture down to the big nasty, never can tell where I'll show up

Agreed, great video. And yes you never can tell where Locolouie will pop up at. He first appeared at Hatfield McCoy on 4th of July last year and I've seen him all over the east coast since then. Btw, you seem much more confident in your machine now than on that first ride, and you've turned that old Argo into a real mud machine!

Good stuff Dan!

Man that looked like some serious mud action down in the bottom mud.

I saw a lot of teamwork going on, and that makes for a fun hobby.

I'm also amazed at all the mods and innovations that go into the machines.

Alright guys and gals, over twenty minutes of Max's, Argos,and Hustlers, excellent video for your viewing pleasure!
