General Specifications (all models)

Steering: Skid steering operated by two hand controlled levers activating brakes to stop the wheels on either side of the vehicle, allowing it to turn within its own length. For safety and ease of handling, the Argo steering transmission provides continuous torque to all axles.

Clutch & Transmission: Belt driven, Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) maximizes engine power to the transmission with high and low range forward, neutral and reverse, compactly housed with an efficient planetary differential.

Frame: 11-gauge formed steel channel with 18-gauge full length center support, welded for high strength and durability and polyester powder coated for lasting protection.

Tires: Goodyear "Runamuk" low pressure, shock absorbing 22 x 10.00-8 NHS.

Body: Vacuum formed from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Full length skid plate standard on Conquest, available option on all other models.

Drive System: 1-1/4" diameter solid steel axles double sealed for water protection with greasable inner and outer bearings. Double RC50 roller chain on machined sprocket assemblieds splined to each axle for long life and durability.

Fuel Capacity: See-through polyethylene fuel tank, 8.4 gallon (32 liter) for approximately 8 hours of operation.

Speed: Land 19 MPH (30 KPH). Water 2.5 MPH (4 KPH)

Ground Pressure: 2.1 PSI (14.5 KPA) on tires. 0.67 PSI (4.6 KPA) on tracks.
