I have a 2006 Argo BigFoot which is a 6 WD rig. I love it! Being a wheelchair person, it takes me places I haven't been for years. I also have a '74 Attex which I have been rebuilding for the past two years. A big chore was fixing holes in the body that were caused by chain slap. Better get new tensioners and get that slap out of your drive chains.
One nice thing about Argo's is that you don't get all muddy. You are sitting inside it and the mud stays out. The other nice thing is that water is not an obstacle. I leave the 4 wheelers behind all the time in the woods behing my home.
When I first bought it, I put a 300# Ramsey winch on it. Other than for pulling logs out of trails, I have never had to use it to get unstuck. I've gone over 18" logs in trails and it just climbs over. Incredible machine!
I also have enough space behind the front seat to put a deer or bear. It's a hell of a mess to clean out the blood if you let it dry like I did "once".
The Attex has a two cylinder Rockwell JLO 2 cycle engine that carnks out about 40HP. It will be neat when I get it done. Man they will throw the mud!
It looks like your machine needs Goodyear Rawhide tires. They have lots more agressive tread than those tires that you have on it. Also you want to turn them around for better paddling action in water. Only time I ever got hung up was when I broke through some ice on a pnd last winter. I thought the ice was only an inch or so thick and planned to just crash on through. Well I broke the ice out about 15 feet and then hit thicker ice that wouldn't break. Sice I was floating in water I didn't have enough get-go to jump up on edge of thicker ice and it closed in around behind me. I called my girlfriend on cell phone to get me some rope to hook winch cable on and in the meantime I was freezing my butt off and tried a few things. I leaned way out on each side and rocked the boat while putting drive on the down side. Eventually I backed up about a foot and was able to back the rest of the way out. If you ever get stuck that's the way to get free. Just keep putting drive to alternate sides and it generally will get out. Never been hung up on underside even going over big logs. Theres enough wheels under it to get a bite and take you up and over. Great machines! Have fun....
