3 in 1 - UTV, Snowmobile and Small Boat
New
Hamburg, Ontario, Canada ? Times are tough, so it is more important
than ever to make the right decision when purchasing your off-road
vehicle. Performance, durability, ride comfort and reliability must be
taken into consideration to ensure you get the best possible value
off-road machine available. Instead of buying an UTV, snowmobile and
small boat, one ARGO fits the bill.
The NEW 2010
world-renowned amphibious, all-season, multi-purpose 6x6 and 8x8 ARGO
vehicles for up to six passengers ride and handle better than ever,
even in extreme conditions.
New ARGO 8x8 750 HDi – the most versatile UTV in the world
The

customers and prospective ARGO owners have been waiting for.
The
750 HDi comes with a patented Admiral transmission that is and up to
50% more efficient than hydrostatic drive systems and 20% more
efficient than the current ARGO transmissions. The result:
a very smooth ride when operating on trails in high range, and easy
turning within its own length in low gear. The ride comfort is enhanced
with new low pressure 25” four ply ARGO tires for excellent traction in
any terrain. When in water, these innovative tires propel the Argo with
great floatation and stability. In addition, the new 750 HDi features
larger, triple sealed outer bearings, new heavy duty front and rear
axles, newly designed floor pans and fire wall for more leg room, new
cooling vents below the hood scoop, a new hydraulic, independently
operating and self adjusting handlebar brake as well as a new stylish
dash insert for light and accessory switches.
