Stuck! 18" Argo Tracks on The Aurora 8X8 

I always wondered that... So surveyors are still out there using these things!? First time I'd ever seen one was when a surveyor was tearing through our thicket down here in SETX. In the 80's, it blew my mind and my dad instantly said, *"NOPE!"* Dirt bikes, yep... I assume he imagined that maintenance in the design and kids! Heck, he could tell from the way I watched certain things in an instant and without me saying a word, he would spontaneously say, *"NOPE!"* Dozers, chainsaws, and everything in-between... Chainsaw for a 6 year old, I was an enterprising young boy! I'd love to have had your job, but from what I recall in the 80's... It's not always easy as it looks!

There like 4 rental company in Alberta that have tons of argos but the new auroras are gutless

I love my Argo, I use it in all seasons and I fish with it.

They look like they can get high centred easily but it is actually very rare because of there design. And the newer ones such as the one in this video have an even better design to prevent this. Now at the end of the day snow can be snow and depending on the conditions it can be tricky for anything.

They are not that bad on fuel. I own a 90s model and read in the manual that they can last up to 8 hours with the throttle wide open on a full tank. Obviously you would never run it wide open constantly like that for that long. Different engines would vary though.

@@northsidecoolguy5041 Thank You for answer. What is capacity for Your Argo model fuel tank?

@@WILDBEES_LATVIA Honestly I'm not sure. I know its a 1990 Argo Magnum 8x8.

Yup...as long as you dont walk home you're good🤣🤣

@@ostacruiser hell ya brother!

same?

We still have them and plan on comparing the two once the muskeg thaws

@@ostacruiser Nice! look forward to hearing your thoughts on both.

Has been plus 28 and 30 the last few days, full on summer now haha

You are forgetting with the bush tracks ground clearance is not an issue, the machine floats on mud and the tracks will keep it moving in the softest mud, the bush tracks will swim(slowly) In mud or water,it's very difficult to stick one of these machines with tracks , and I can tell you they walk through holes that will stick EVERY THING With WHEELS

beaver dam tracks are heavy, require huge wheel spacers, and use thin low grade plastic, thin rubber, and metal hinges that wear out. HD Alaska Bush Tracks all the way with Double Hinge (for half track mode), swim paddles, and ice cleats. Same spacing requirements as the flat factory tracks and extra performance where factory flat tracks fail.
