I think a lot of the negative words about Argos on here, come from the older ones. In 2010 Argo went through a huge metamorphosis and really improved their machines. I have no smell of belt or grease in my machine, I have a soft top which has removable soft doors and roll up rear window, more or less identical to my soft top on my Ranger 6X6. It goes on and comes off in minutes and is really cozy when it's cold out or raining and pops right off and the windshield folds down when it's warm.
I have two SXSs and they are indispensable around the property and save me thousands of steps every day and countless hours in transit from one place to another, however I could never envision using them (tracks or not) where I take my Argo, with out hesitation. They just have completely different capabilities and I wouldn't want to be without either.
Hell, I take my Argo out on the lake fishing just cause it's so easy, I drive the 100 mtrs down the hill and right out into the lake. I can troll or I can stand on the seat and cast or fly fish in perfect comfort and with good stability without the hassle of launching a boat and trying to park the truck and trailer and then doing it all in reverse when I'm done. If the wind picks up I just drive to the nearest navigable shore line and I'm safe without having to try to trailer a boat in 2 or 3 ft waves. And just for trivia sake, it is impossible to sink an Argo, even fully swamped they float. So not only are they more convenient, they are also safer on the water than a small fishing boat.
yeah might be nice but they also cost up to 40,000.00....you could buy an unsinkable boat for a lot less money (boston whaler) and a side by side.
