    sure it puts more strain on things.. takes longer to turn, remember , more traction there and more weight too.. but, floats cool. goes through mud better, snow too....
    What machine do u think you need to put it on?

          Richards has them for $480 plus shipping,That's not going to happen.They also said you would need to run 21 inch tires,Probably just another sells pitch.When i was a kid one of my parents friend had a vw buggie that had dual tires on the back,He cut some of the center out of the outer rim so that he could get to the lugs on the inter rim and welded them together.Man that thing was cool and it would float the rearend up long enough to get through deep water.I was thinking of doing the same to one of my 6 wheelers,That would cut a good bit of weight out.What do you think???????

              duel me in......

              I had tube frame vw's too,with duels. hehe
              i can't see why you can't use solid axles and put what ever lug pattern you choose on it to make duels. i do !! All pure amphicat parts for me. by the way, they are 3/4" stock axles notice the high quality tires..

                Did that include the tires and wheels too?

                      I have found the dullie kit is good for water and verry soft terrain. it feels really stable in water. On dry land though i ran them and broke a rear axel the one you have to pull the motor to replace. So this was on a hustler i dont know how your max will do but the dules are to much strain for my machine. what ever you do good luck.

                          I was thinking on making a set just for mud bogging,Not to run all the time.They would fit the max or argo.
