ARGO MAGNUM was one of the best made. They were very reliable and the engines are tough as hell.

The new Conquest 6x6 ARGO's look like they shrunk a lot in size, but they are supposed to be one hell of a lot more tough. Their are identical the the Bigfoot, except they have a different body (size wize to accommodate the Goodyear Rawhide 3 tires) and the engine is a 20 HP Kawasaki instead of the 18 Briggs.

Which Current Model would you choose for hardcore use? (current from the Mag on)

ODG didn't shrink the Conquest 8 wheeler, they added the Conquest 6 wheeler to their lineup. As far as which model to choose, as always, you have to decide what your primary use will be and then assess your options.

Averger E.F.I. I just returned from the Ottawa Boat Show. They had a BLACK (first one I have seen) E.F.I. 31 h.p. Avenger on display. I may list my May IV for sale next week. This machine also had vented brake discs and no cooling fan for the brakes, the same as the Frontier. If this design works without the brakes overheating it will be nice to get rid of that much redundant hardware. My wife says if I sell the Max she will ride with me again. I am going to miss the Max ,the easy turns and the instant response but my wife isn,t. The Avenger looks best to me as a I saw it in black.

Hey Philip, how was the show? Any interesting new ideas or concepts? Was Argo the only AATV?

What didn't your wife like about your Max 4 that she wouldn't ride with you? Didi you compare the ride of the Avenger 31HP versus frontier with the 23? I like these two new designs and now am leaning towars one of them.

Hi guys, I was also at the Ottawa boat show. That was the first Avenger I have seen in all black also. It looked very good. They also had a green Frontier. No test drives though. Too bad. They had a Rhino I think it was. Also a real cool looking jacked up electric powered golf cart style 4 wheel drive. It looked like a very capable machine. It was camo with a winch too. Other than that lots and lots of boats.

Nice rig Steve. You must have a big driveway to need such a machine to plow with. How long does it take you? How does that new tranny shift? LOL.
