Argo ATVs?

Does anybody have one of these?
I am curious about the six vs eight wheel and the wheel vs the track... and how they perform.
I have some wetlands acreage that I want to explore/trap/hunt but have never been able to get back there to see the lay of the land (heavy heavy elephant grass).
Will an Argo be appropriate for these conditions? I already know a 4wheeler will not work back there.
Any insight is appreciated, OB.

Our 8 wheeler has been more trouble than its worth.
We have had it for about 10+ years, constant fuel delivery problems, stalling, brake problems, electrical problems, etc.
Zero ground clearance, extremely heavy (high centered on a crop row once and it was a nightmare). They WILL get stuck.
No resale value to them at all.
If you have the cash to spare for one at a deal price, it might work for you, just words of warning.

multiply the purchase price by 3 and give that money a charity. you will end up spending less and being happier than if you actually buy an argo.

In all seriousness, if they were as good as advertised every person up and down the Mississippi river would have one. The reason you don't see very many of them is because they can't hold up to the heavy mud we have. Plenty of people use them in the snow/creeks up North but they can not hold up to the delta mud that is Louisiana/Mississippi delta

We had one at the club and it was a giant pos. I wont even get started on the ride, sucks! It has been replaced with a Ranger.

We had a Maxx 6x6 at one time. It did a good job of making shooting lanes in the marsh. Its biggest downfall was climbing a bank from a swimming condition. Other than that though as long as you didn't get it high centered that thing would definitely go where you couldn't walk. Thing was a beast in the floating marsh. Ours had a 14 hp briggs engine and chain drive. The chains didn't give up much trouble but the throttle cable had to be changed every few years as it had a sharp turn and would corrode and pop for some reason at that bend.

Buy a Ranger and put tracks on it.
