I'm looking for something for helping me clear/recover overgrown woods. What vehicle would you recommend? The Max Buffalo or the Argo 8x8? I need something that can go through mud, up steep hills and can carry a boatload of brush and deadfalls out. Anything? Other advice welcome! Thanks.

jason, what you need is definately a all wheel drive aatv. the argo is technically a 4 wheel drive with a open differential. on the other hand the max 4 or buffalo truck is the way to go, as the max is all (6) wheel drive. now jason, you really do know! |

If you are running the standard track kit on an ARGO, and you go into water, will the tracks propell it still? Although their would probably be a lot of drag, will it still go and how well compared to the tires?
I have and 8x8 MAGNUM. ANy help is welcomed. |

I helped my friend pick up a Marsh model Trackster this week. In the papers he got there were some optional water propelling additions that were listed in the manual. I think the whole idea behind them were to keep water off the top of the tracks. I would suggest a few pieces of rubber between the body and the tracks to help keep the water off the top of the tracks so the tops won't push you backwards. |

David-I've never had tracks but I've seen them in water and they don't even compare to tires in the water! If you have tracks and get into water you have to just barely give it any throttle to make any forward progress. I don't think you would be able to swim against any current what so ever. To me running tracks in the water would be compareable to running non direction mud tires. I've got a set of 6 Mud Shark tires (non directional) I use for rocks and mud. When I get in deep water with these they don't propel at all, they will try to move you backwards if you gas it. I have to barely give it throttle to move forward at all. To me tracks are great but not so great for swimming long distances or short for that matter. If you want to swim fast use the directional type tires. |

Thanks for the help, I will remember to steer clear of water with the tracks on. |

I was wondering if you know of any companies that make tracks for a polaris ranger 6x6? I use the ranger on the beach to drop in a jet ski. The tracks don't need to go into the water very far but I am finding the trailer or the ranger burying. It is also a test for the ranger to pull the jet ski up a sand hill unless I use bubble tires on the trailer. I have used plywood but it's a real pain loading and unloading 12 plywood sheets everytime you need to take the jet ski out of the water.If anyone knows anything please let me know. |

Their is a company that you can find from this site in the links section. I think it is tru trax. They make trak systems for 4-wheelers, 6x6, 8x8 and anything trackable. |
