Argo XTV September 2022 Hunting trip

Another year of being skunked while moose hunting. We had great company and great times though.

Take those stock tracks off and get yourself a se of Alaska Bush Tracks, you'll never be sorry.

Nice machines!, what's the max speed whit tracks?.

[@nvgun40]

@@experiments22 depends on the tracks used. I have seen some machines as slow as 9mph. I have maxed out around 20mph. Normally though, I never go above 14-15mph with tracks on. Traveling fast with tracks on can lead to chain wind up and that can cause binding and breaking. Add to this the terrain you would normally travel in with tracks on negates high speed travel anyway. In most terrain that requires tracks I am lucky if I can go faster than 7-8mph.

Good video, I really like watching your videos on your Argo adventures. Watching them really helped me make up my mind this summer. I joined the Argo family this year when I bought a 2018 Huntmaster R. WOW, what a machine. I used it to pull three moose out of the swamps in our hunt area, no, not all at once, but I was able to get a whole moose and the entire camp all in 1 load with the help of my trailer. The best part is when I pulled a downed 61" bull 150yds across the swamp to dry ground so we could butcher him. Sorry, camera phobia here so no cool videos. It is a hell of a tool though. I backed up to all three moose and we put each of them directly in the back of the argo as we processed and just drove out of the muck like it wasn't even there.

Good video. Annoying music. Rather hear the machines.

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Great machines and you did a nice job highlighting their capabilities.

[@nvgun40]

Thank you very much!

[@rlb96]

Thumbs down for music. Stopped watching at 20 sec.

[@nvgun40]

Sorry you didn't like the music. You are not the only one. Sometimes, I don't like the background music on videos either. When that happens, I just turn the volume down.

[@MarcBoisseau]

So cool but music is soon annoying

[@RocksNRuts4]

fun grp, im jealeous....just got a scout 6x6 it dont like the snow.....gotta get tracks i guess. no one else has one tho that sux

[@drmarkintexas-400]

Thank you for sharing Can you drive this with one hand? Where was this filmed? Intimidating, looking out over the expanse of water, not knowing if there's a bottom 😲. Do you have a video showing all your accessories and mods? The one with the ladder reminds me of the tracked vehicle on the 1960s TV show, Lost in Space 😊 ✌️🇺🇲🙏🤗

[@nvgun40]

On a nice easy trail ride, I drive with one hand a lot. When you start getting into technician terrain and obstacles, usually requires two hands. Unfortunately, I do not have a video of all the accessories and mods. Perhaps I shall make one.

How do you like the Argo compared to a regular sxs I’m deciding which one to get for hunting?

[@nvgun40]

We prefer the Argo over any SxS. For hunting and for play. They are a bit slower than a SxS, but that only means the SxS’s get to the technical obstacle/mud hole first.

[@chadmckinnon6294]

Wow, a blue 950 Aurora is very rare. Most Auroras that aren't huntmasters are typically black, orange or green. My guess is that machine is one out of less than ten in existence.

[@nvgun40]

For 2021, this Blue Argo was dubbed an Aurora 950SX LE. It was the only blue Aurora 950SX built for both 2021 and 2022. There are blue Frontiers in both 6 and 8 wheel but only this one Aurora 950.

[@chadmckinnon6294]

Thanks for the rapid reply. I knew that was rare, but didn't know it's the only one. Even blue Frontiers are pretty rare, albeit there out there. If you don't mind me asking, what's the date of manufacture indicated on the label to the left of the handlebars?

Do you like the engines ?

[@nvgun40]

Yes, I have no issue with the engines.

Those things are amazing!

[@joeclark9042]

Hey guys very good video I really like it I am really interested in that blue one can you guys give me some information on that blue one like does it come out fitted like that does it come with the cage over the top I was wanting one like that blue one I like that So if you can give me some information on it I'd appreciate it and does it come with tracks thank you

[@nvgun40]

Hello, That blue Argo is a 2021 Argo Aurora 950SX LE (Limited Edition). It is the only Aurora 950 SX in that color, with those rims. It did not come with all that you see. The winch, windshield, convertible soft top and frame, tracks, boat motor mount, light bar and strobe lights were all additional.

WY srob lights in a swamp ?

[@nvgun40]

Just for the fun of it. It looks cool when your driving through a dark forest.

[@thomasklett3078]

At the end. Police in forest?

[@nvgun40]

Nope. just strobe lights on the blue Argo. It is also used for plowing in the winter. Just a little something fun and to enhance visibility.

[@Maxwellguitar-yj3rb]

How do the chains and sprockets hold up?

[@nvgun40]

Mine hold up just great. As a matter of fact I just had my annual service and they said my chains were great and my slider block hardly had any noticeable wear. Which is surprising considering some the terrain and conditions I use it in.

[@Maxwellguitar-yj3rb]

My wife and I are thinking about purchasing an Argo. I was wondering why the Conquest series is a lot more expensive than the other models, like the frontier and aurora?

[@nvgun40]

@@Maxwellguitar-yj3rb the conquest series starts delving into the heavy duty commercial oriented market. Like intended uses by power companies or search and rescue, etc.

[@Benandlandon]

Love my 2022 Argo frontier! Need some tracks on mine though. Your thoughts on the Argo trailer!?

[@nvgun40]

There are advantages and disadvantages to the Argo trailer. Advantages, it floats (there are other trailers that float though), you have four spare tires in emergency’s, extra bearings in emergencies. Disadvantages, you need to reinforce the upper lip to take advantage of tying things down. The front lower corners of the Argo trailer can really get beaten to the point of cracking or holes in rough and rocky terrain. I like my Bosski ATV Wagon trailer a bit better. It floats, but has a hard closing lid that keeps things dry inside. Plus I can load stuff on top and tie things down. It has better ground clearance too.
