In 1971 the 6 wheel Argos were used at a lumber camp in British Columbia where I worked to get to and from the cut area and staging areas. As well as bringing fuel cans back and forth. They all leaked but not badly. We greased them every night if we went through water and weekly if not to keep water out of the bearings. Chains were oiled weekly as a rule. Brutal to ride in. No suspension just big tires. Cheers 🇨🇦
You need to grease your Argo’s regularly to avoid problems, especially when you float. On some models, the zerks can be difficult to get at. Starting with 2024 models, they will have zerk extensions so you can quickly put a couple pumps of grease into each bearing quickly. I am waiting for a 2024 model.
Greasing the driveshafts on my Yamaha Kodiak is a nightmare, but doing it regularly has kept them tight over 14 years of abuse. Definitely worth the trouble
I owned a 8 wheel Argo and I had the track for Winter. I never had problems with the wheel seals or chains in 5 years. I dove that through a marsh, I was in the water all the time.. I would travel a lot wet Boggs and sandy beaches all the time. With the tracks I was in 3 feet of snow with a load of wood in the back.. I have never had water come in.. Thousands of the 6 and 8 wheel Argos are sold to the Hydro guys here in Canada and they love the things.. You will always have a few that have problems. Tell me any ATV, UTV that never had problems.. As for the Argo with the big wheels it new, you will have problems. Those Shirpaw have been made for like 20 years now and they still have problems
Tons of awesome products! Prob 10x the price they need to be though. Imagine the Chinese watching ur videos so they can make all these products for a 3rd the price haha! Awesome video Stan
The RNVac thing would be more useful if it had an - on board - battery pack, as being tied to a mains power source (or inverter) could be a pain for many. That aside, cleaning up after mowing or land clearing it could be very useful.
I've had about 5 Argo's over the years, generally good machines. Get the 8x8, not 6x6 its much smoother. If properly maintained with the bearings packed full of grease, you will be fine. If taking in deep mud or snow, tracks are a must.
😂😂 your lips 💋 gotta hurt by the end of the day... I've been watching your channel for over five years... and it's not getting better... sorry guy..... JJ...p.s.you really need the free stuff...
Fuel tank guy at the beginning was a really great rep and you could tell Stanley had respect for him. That's the kind of stuff I love to see.

Stuff is expensive but so worth it depending on your job! Hope your weekend is gonna be great!
Great video and thanks!
Nice one Stan. 👍👍🏴🏴
I love the products and had to chuckle every time I heard “absolutely” from the demonstrators 😂
That wheel barrow vacuum system would be handy but for that price I'll stick with my shop vac 😵
The look on your face when the guy mentioned how much those CTIS air systems are.
Stan like the wheelbarrow vac setup, would be nice for hand digging looking for utilities sucking out the hole

😎 Really great to watch. Thanks 😊.
That Super Saiyan Broly Poster👍💯
Love all your content Stan! This is off topic a bit, but what do you think about that Decked bed storage system over long term?

Light tower guy didn’t talk how tough the thing is, just how “inexpensive” it is to replace it when it rips🤷♂️

Stan!
As a person that lives in cold and had argo they need love 💕 for sure but -40 up a mountain only thing I would trust
Honda all the way we’ve had 8x8 Argos junk for the rough stuff
@@scottishmudders8357 Honda will beat that crap Argo in reverse with diesel in the tank I agree
I thought Argo was something from the past. I didn't know, if they were still I'm the business?
I did it!!!
Not a Sherp!!!
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!!
I am the Great and Powerful Marketing Genius.
Those inflatable lights seem high priced.
Ya
I love my Argo but don’t get the 6 wheel get the 8 wheel much better machine especially if you plan on floating in it or hunting
Argo bought out sherp so technically, it is still a sherp lol
Argo has a manufacturing and supply agreement with Sherp, they did not acquire them.
@@murc111 ah, I was told they bought them out. Appreciate the clarification
Only in America Europe it’s still sherp we have one in UK
i am argo dealer they don't stand behiad it
What did they refuse to support?
@@suspicionofdeceit not refuse just not very helpful
Just get a hover craft for your property up north....
Them lights at the end seem pointless
Almost 9000 views in 7 hours with my two comments 29..... JJ...p.s. just saying....😮😮😮
Inflatable light tower or a flood light screwed to a tripod…. I’m not seeing the advantage of his idea?
I didn’t think Argo was Ben affleck best movie either😂
😂😂 your lips 💋 gotta hurt by the end of the day... I've been watching your channel for over five years... and it's not getting better... sorry guy..... JJ...p.s.you really need the free stuff...
that inflated light is ridiculous bullcrap IMO
