Rock Doc I put a one inch piece of plywood over the rear seats that has a separate frame that has legs down to the floor of the machine and load the bottom to the seat level then load the top,probably one reason I have not experienced any buckling yet,but if I do go with steel grousers I had better be mor than sure or will be replacing the tub,thanks for the info guys.Cheers NCT

So how much do they cost? Does he take Visa? Does he ship to the States? Does he sell paddles to add to the belt for water propulsion? I'm hooked.

the jig for the avengers isnt what it used to be, and of course now running the really large 25" tires doesnt help, essentially a design flaw the new rear fender support kit is designed to remedy it, but personlly im opting for the 24" frontier tires to set some new tracks on to get additional extra clearance!
thank Rd for the pics ive seen quite a few machines that look that way, people if your tracks or tires are rubbing at all, deal with it immediately or you will be replacing your lower tub.

rear fender support kit is #806-256

Hey boys how about a pic of that support please, curious to see if it looks like one I have seen on another machine. Thanks // RR

Chanel Track mud - YouTube Chanel track in mud and beaver dam. Amazing. Same places and holes with wheels had to use the winch a lot of time. Chanel track in mud, it floats in mud like you were on a side walk.

Your last video was excellent. Can you post a video of the Chanel tracks in water deep enough to float your tub? I'd like to see how well these tracks swim in deeper water.

Very impressive video!

I should have my chanel track for my avenger in a few weeks. I'll send pictures and videos when I'll get them. I'm very confident they will be just fine. I'll see how they swim but I don't think they do well but that is not where I need them more. It's in swamps, mud, slush and snow.

incredible, i ve been fishing in north of quebec last week with my channels track and i had a lot of fun(cross the river climbing sand hill,swamp)..i didn t see a difference on the water between rubber track et channel track..it s easier to go out the water...heu...no i didn t catch more trouts...i m pretty sure it s because the tracks)haha

I'll see how they swim but I don't think they do well but that is not where I need them more. It's in swamps, mud, slush and snow.

I don't think these tracks will swim that well in deep water either, but for swamps, mud, slush ,and snow, I know they'll do just fine.

Hi every body, I'm back on the site. I had to work all summer and didn't get a chance to play with my argo. I did go to my moose camp last weekend.
I brought a friend ( retired from canadien force) with me and he was very impressed to see what that machine could do. He can't wait to see it go in the snow and slush ( same with me). Whenever I have a chance ( or a friend to film I'll try to put some on the site).

Lets all have fun with our machine

I am driving to Quebec this weekend to pick up a set for my Argo Vanguard. Marcel made a set of 17 inchers for me. I will post pictures and a review later.

I don't if my reply went throu so here are my impression of the chanel track.
Incredible, unstoppable and fantastic. I just gave them a tough ride. I went throu beaver dams, muds and so on without any problem. I went places that I could never go before. They swim a bit and most important they climb out of deep water with ease. There was places that no man could go out of the argo without having to hang on the argo not to sink in that extremely soft stuff. Not a problem with those tracks. I jsut can't beleive what they do. It's a tank that can even float and swim ( not fast but they do as good as with the tires I had on)
So very, very impressive. I don't where I'll have to use a winch anymore.

I have only had them out twice, but here is what I know. Nothing will stop you with these tracks. I had a platoon of M60 tanks in my misspent youth. My Argo, with channel tracks will do everything my tanks would and it can still swim. It would climb trees if I was not so worried about flipping over backwards. They seem pretty indestructible. Installation was easy and fool proof. Now I am anxious to have some snow. The Argo will not get stuck high-center any more.

On a personal note, Marcel (Patenteux) is about the nicest guy around. And he makes some really good moose sausage.
