Yes, the ARGO is amphibious.

Yep. Something I would buy in a new york minute if I had the money. Almost impossible to get stuck.

We had an ATTEX when I was a kid in the 70s.
We crossed streams in it like a boat.

Why would anyone buy one? FUN!

Hit a snowbank in a field at full speed and POOOOFFFF!!! a snow explosion as you blast right through it.
Yank one stick back and push the other forward and do donuts as you continue sliding forward in the snow.

Would love to live in the country and buy an old one.

I'm thinking about an ARGO Avenger

I remember watching the Banana Splits really only hoping the 6 wheelers would show up.
Otherwise it was a dumb kid show.

I had not heard mention of Argos in years and did not know they were even still in business
Who knew you could buy a NEW one for a mere $ 28 K !!!!

Maybe look into someplace that offers rentals try out different models that are available and if it's worth you're investment buying used is option but might be getting someone else's headache ? So Go Big 🤗

The Bananas video bring back great memories of watching them. The Argos are interesting vehicles as I look at them every year at the sportsmans show in Harrisburg. tarzan would you be using them on gamelands or private land? You can get a permit to run atv type vehicles on some gamelands. That may open up some more hunting oppertunities for you.
