I have to questions I am hoping someone can help me answer...

Is the snow plows for Argos the same for the 8x8s as they are for the 6x6s? I mean can you take a plow off one (regardless of the size of the actual plow) and hook it up to the mounting brackets on another?

Also, what is the price of a new plow for an argo and is it easy to find a used one? I have many questions concerning snow plowing with an argo. I will ask more if someone is interested in answering.

The plows are the same for the 8x8, 6x6 ARGO's. They all mount onto the mounts on the axles. The price for them is high, I'll double check tonight what it is. Getting a used one shouldn't be too hard to do. In the classified section of this site (the text classifieds) I have seen a few for sale used, but as I said, they aren't too hard to find. E-mail me and I'll send you the price of a new one.

David is Correct, the plow is the same for both vehicles. I have one installed my 8x8. Yes it is damn expensive, but it is build extremely strong. The cost also includes a replacement whinch plate (stronger) and fairlead bearing. Wouldn't you know it, this is the first year with the plow and we had record (NO SNOW) fall, BUMMER! Using the plow is a hoot. It still amazes me how strong these machines are.

The snow this year sucked. I put the tracks on the night of Christmas day and used them twice. The next time I was at my cottage, most the snow was melted, except soem of the trails, so I went out with my 4 year old cuson, and ended up ripping the track off trying to manover. I was running straight and it climbed out. I got it back in, and as soon as I started to turn again, it climbed out again. I was lucky that I didn't rip the tires right off the wheeles, and it took alsot 30 minutes to drive the rest of the track off, doing donughts in the middle of the road with only the lights from the ARGO.

I ended up after finally getting the one the rest of the way off, slowly driving back on the side of the road trying to keep the one track still in snow going to the garage and taking the other off. Hopefully, their will be lots next year. I hope. Where in Canada are you? Anywhere near the Bruce Pennensula? That is where my cottage and ARGO are. I'm only 17 but if you are near, we should load up and go trailing sometime.

Let me know

I have never owned a plow, but their is a guy about 10 minutes away from us that used to be a Argo dealer and he uses one year round for work in the development. All I know is that they are damn heavy and when you are running fast, and hit a bump, (in a 6x6) it feels like the vehicle will nose dive into the ground.

I e-mailed you the specs on the plow for the ARGO. Are you in Canada or the US? I tried converting the prices to US dollars as well as Canadian, but I don't know the exact exchange rate.

LEt me know when you get them.
