Reference video five on page six: You ought to send this video to Argo and tell them that the counter rotation in low range works against the machine in situations like these where you are trying to get the most drive possible to both tracks. I watched you manipulate the handlebars to keep the drive going to both tracks and watched that counter rotation work against you.

Great videos Mudbug, Thanks for pm-ing me about them. I sent you a pm as I watched in a separate tab. There were a couple of times in the last one where I found myself actually LEANING to get the machine through those holes... I had to laugh at myself...Thanks again, and great job You should get the IMAX people to ride along with you sometime, now that would be cool to see "IMAX Argo Adventure", I can think of at least 7000 people who would go see that one.

This is the video that Dan posted about. This was some really thick mud. When this video starts you'll see me backing out. Just as soon as I drove into this mud hole I noticed a spot directly in front of me that would have got me high centered. This is why I backed up and changed directions. I then began to wonder if I could drive out of this mud with out asking Noel to pull me out with his Max IV.

That was some excellent riding. No machine could have made it through that area without the Adair tracks. My Max4 had to have 400 pounds of caked on gumbo on it. The 650 HD is an ideal machine so equipped.

Wow, not even a paw print left in that mud!

I am wondering how an HDI with Adair tracks would perform in this mud.

I'd guess that the HDI would have had a tougher time due to the extra weight. That is the worst mud that I have ever seen.

Bud, you have got to get your machine down Texas and run some of these mud holes with your Argo. I would just love to see how an 8x8 matches up against a 6x6 in these extreme mud conditions. I have to believe that your 8x8 with the lower geared transmission would walk through all this stuff without an issue. I would also guess that the light weight of your 650 Frontier and the extra traction of the 8x8 would be king in these conditions. Perhaps you could meet with Noel and David and have a 650 Frontier 6x6, 650 Frontier HD, and 650 Frontier 8x8 mud fest.
