This time at Mettowee off road park a guest brings the most epic Argo I've ever seen. Decked out with ALL the options. This unrelenting force powered though every obstacle in its path.
If suspension components had no weight or width sure! There have been a few people who made custom suspension for these machines, but the extra weight and complexity has always been a turn off for me. Really at the speeds these machines move you can do without. The low PSI tires have a lot of give without tracks.
I've got an 81 6x6 bearcat 399 I'm repowering with a new 15 horse. Just have to install the new clutches ... Just a basic machine. Just a thought I've got a couple 1" drains with boat plugs . Have any of you ever consider putting a small bilge pump as a precaution or no worries ?
The hard cleats can not grab the rock, I bet if he was using the regular rubber tracks they would have pulled him up that rock face. The large hard cleats are great in mud but bad on a hard surface.
Yes no tracks are best in all circumstances. I think unless I knew I was only going to be driving in deep mud the tires on an argo will get them thru most things.
That was interesting to see on the rock. It's always steeper than it looks on camera, but still. I wonder how the tires would have done. Too bad they're so dam expensive.
Probably much better. Argos seems amazing on rocks with tires from the videos I've seen. Maybe some day I'll have him back out sans tracks and we can do a comparison.
For those that say the Adair out performs these tracks I sure would like to see a FAIR & UNBIASED test of the same machine!!!!!!!! Until then I am convinced that these will kick the shit out a set of those! The rest of all the hype is just "the propaganda machine." As someone who has hundreds of hours behind the bar of an argo with rubber tracks I think these are the ultimate upgrade...
They really have to be seen to appreciate. As someone who sides on Overkill ;-) I understand when the maximum level of crazy is attained and when this machine drove out of its trailer I was giggling. My brain can not comprehend how such aggressive tracks could EVER stop pushing forward in mud. Also impressive was how well they stayed on. I've always been fearful of having tracks come off a machine while being abused and this machine was abused HARD, multiple times the tracks got in precarious situations where they should have derailed yet they always sprung back true.
Yes they are because I guess not meany people were at the first one or people couldn’t make it out like me lol. The posted a thing on Facebook and yes it’s the 21-22.
I am the owner of this machine. I have gone through mud, snow, 30 degrees of ridges of ice, rocks, and slush. These tracks are amazing. They have never come off, and don't heat up the tires. I have fixed a few cleat welds, but over the terrain I have been through, that is to be expected.
I must admit I have never in person or even in video witnessed such abuse of a track system. I was incredibly impressed these held up to the unrelenting torture as well as they did. They stayed on regardless of all the crazy side hilling and gnarly jagged rocks while turning. This video is also only about 1/3rd of the difficult terrain the machine drove over. Not filmed was the 50 degree sandy hill 200+ feet long this machine climbed with ease. Something that was much more impressive than this rock face.
@@TotalOverkillStudios Thank you. It was a total pleasure riding with you. I hope that we can do it again. I am now registered as a boat, in addition to an ATV. I even got my boating certification. This machine rocks.
More so than beaver dam tracks? It's hard to imagine how the Red Machine could have done better. The only place it had a challenge was the rock face and even my Coot struggled there (A machine that dominates in rocks)
I have a set of Adair Tracks , they would not have done any better , in this place and time a winch is needed to get to that location, it may have been possible to run the edge of that gully to crest out after the rock (s) .....but to climb that rock no neither track has the grip to do that .
