ARGO 8x8 Tracked Swamp Monster

[@randygreen7871]

Tracks make a world of difference! Great video,thanks so much for sharing.

[@Rubbernecker]

Good old Donn DIY! He can build/fix/fabricate anything, now we know he has a beautiful wife too!!!

[@AFHProjects]

Much better with tracks :)

[@DonnDIY]

It's a far fetched idea but if I'm gonna have an ARGO in the future, theoretically, I definitely have to have tracks on it. Or tires with a really hardcore tread. Otherwise I'm screwed. :D

[@AFHProjects]

I bet that tracks are better then tires with hardcore tread. Ground pressure is better than with tires. How well this swims with tracks?

[@DonnDIY]

It doesn't steer that good when in water and it's really slow. Some electrical boat motors would be cool to steer it. Impellers somewhere in the back of the machine or something. Or the outboard motor we talked about. :D

[@AFHProjects]

Hmm, ok. Electrical boat motor sounds good for that. Light, mobile and can be powered by battery from Argo.

[@fynbo1007]

It look so cool when you drive through muddy water. Thank you for sharing your amazing video

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers!

[@GuntersGarage]

That thing is really bad ass with those tracks, looks like a little troling motor would help in the deep water.

[@DonnDIY]

You're absolutely right. It's way hard to steer this thing in the water and it's slow. The motor(s) would make this thing handle much better.

[@michaelcoulter1114]

You can put up to a 4 hp gas outboard on them, and it makes a huge difference on water!

[@prancstaman]

Bad ass with the tracks on it. :)

[@DonnDIY]

It is outrageous! I'm sold for life for one of these now. Just have to win a lottery to buy one probably. Or build one. :D

[@TroyeStonich]

Looks like a blast... even more fun with the lady :)

[@DonnDIY]

That's my sister. :D

[@TroyeStonich]

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Yeah, sorry about that... you know what I mean though :)

[@AndrewBrowner]

is she single ;D

[@SwanOfficial]

Love it!

[@walker1474]

And thats why ya need tank tracks,but still nice ride

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

Way better with the tracks

[@BOURBIERLAND6]

Good 🔥🔥

[@fionaeller7809]

Wie wärs mit Seilwinde ?

[@СамодельныйЗавод]

Хороший вездеход, но уж очень дорогой , что там за двигатель? И какая максимальная скорость?

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Wonder how it would do in the snow??

[@creedux]

Extremely well in the snow

[@shanesansone5672]

very awesome!!!!

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you!

[@Parlusk]

The tracks are about as much as a machine! I will find a good deal on one soon though.

[@DonnDIY]

I didn't know tracks were so expensive. The new ARGO costs around 15K euros (maybe couple thousands less). I definitely have to build an ARGO instead of buying.

[@DonnDIY]

I looked up the prices of used ARGO-s in the area and they're around 10K, the tracks are around 3K so the tracks dont cost that much compared to the machine itself but it's still a lot of money...

[@Atvsrawsome]

The tracks are only like 2000 if you buy them through argo

[@joeyheider9468]

kind of surprised that you didn't just make a set of tracks for it

[@DonnDIY]

I would've if that machine was mine. But unfortunately it isn't. When I get one really cheap I will probably build my own tracks. In reality however I'd probably have to build the machine myself too since these ARGO-s aren't gonna be cheap. :D

[@josem.kempokempo3075]

Por que se sube por la presa de los castores, no tiene otro sitio?

[@audreymeschkuleit3466]

Try going up a snow covered hill in Winter with Factory Tracks, Big Let down.

[@DonnDIY]

I would also think so. There's no tread at all on these things. And they cost a fortune if someone wanted to buy them.

[@audreymeschkuleit3466]

@@DonnDIY Yes I dont wish to put down a Company but the ARGO product is really a poor design. Sure a LOT for sale . id never buy another.

[@BIG_FETUS]

What year is this Argo?

[@playeah1]

Charlie B its the yearnof the argo. thanks for watching

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

Really nice video!

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks man!

[@phantomrider8777]

Where are you from?

[@ergoaia.nolifeprod.2830]

estonia

[@DonnDIY]

That's right!

[@phantomrider8777]

Ahhh Thanks!

[@moonpie1616]

STAYING STUCK all the time does not look like fun at all.. 🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑 I enjoyed your video

[@mikev118]

Your girl(?) wants to get out there and get dirty with you. Two thumbs up :)

[@DonnDIY]

This is my sister. :D

[@mikev118]

Hence the question mark. Nice job on the tracks!

[@johndowe7003]

woot even better!

[@Weinkle84]

need some argo driving lessons my friend. starting from a stop while trying to turn at the same time especially in mud is not gonna work well. get the machine moving first then turn.

[@zlojadmin]

Looks like no fucks where given when driving through swamp!

[@DonnDIY]

Absolutely! Makes one feel invincible. :D

[@maarts665]

Destroy these beaver dams with Argo and film it!

[@DonnDIY]

Already did it. Just have to cut the video together. ;)

[@danthedewman1]

SPEED saves..That's the only thing I don't like about Argos..You cant goose em to pop thru a mud hole.

[@DonnDIY]

But it floats pretty well and crawls really good on tracks. Without the tracks and aggressive tire tread it's a piece of shit in the mud. I really love this machine either way though. :D

[@VV-xb1zx]

"Monster"..... :))))))) :))))))

А что сбоку нельзя было снимать, нахрена голову показывать когда вездеход выезжает из грязи

äge masin aga tee kõvemat offroad i

[@DonnDIY]

Kõvem offroad tuleb siis, kui kopratammide lammutamise video kokku lõikan. Aga tundub, et väga mingit hullult lendavat muda ei tulegi, kuna selle asja läbivus on roomikutega metsik.
