I just bought an Argo response and where I hunt moose. It is usally in an area where it has been logged. There will be alot of fallen trees on the ground in order to get access to the lakes. I am wondering if I need to put tracks on my wheels to prevent the wheels from being punctured. I am not sure how easy it is to puncture a wheel. Will the tracks protect my tires or do I have to clear cut a route to the lake?

john,
just watch were your going and take a spare tire. the tracks will kill your horsepower if their is no snow. just watch out for short stub coming out of logs and the ground and dont turn the machine on top of them, those runnamucks are not as durable as rawhides. you'll be alright, you have an argo!

John -

I own a Response. Recently we used it to check out some nature trails that need a lot of maintenance work. Took it right over the top of some fallen trees. The Runamucks grip well and I had no trouble. (But I also had my passengers step out onto the path before tackling the trees, and took them at a slight angle.) I don't know how the weight of a moose will effect handling. Just take a good look where you are going so you don't land on any surprises.

Cut overs are a breeze in the Argo. I have a 8x8 Response and have hauled out moose over clearcuts littered with trees. The thing to watch for is high centering the body tub on a stump.
