Just did some paperwork on an Argo picking it up this week. I live in the Yukon so very similar conditions to yours. I’m looking forward to be able to access areas that are difficult by atv or SxS more easily. Really hoping to get in a good hunting season with the new machine. Excellent video also.
Look forward to watching this trip every year. I think I saw the AK Bush Tracks on one of the machines earlier on, how do they compare to the factory tracks?
You did see a machine with AK Bush tracks. How they compare? In the conditions you see in this video the AK Bush tracks work superior then all others, imho. However, every track made has pros and cons. When we got out on the hard pack road the bush tracks slide around a lot more and that can be disconcerting. Also, the AK Bush tracks work in snow, but the 18” Argo rubber tracks are better by far than the bush tracks is deep snow. AK Bush Tracks do make an addition belt that can be added to the outside of their track that will give them better flotation in deep snow but the problem comes with widening the platform quite a bit. I’m the areas where this video was made, we simply can’t go on some of the trails with the additional width. AK Bush tracks also do not do well on ice (they do provide for ice cleats, but again without ice cleats the Argo rubber tracks do better, and with ice cleats the rubber tracks still do better than the bush tracks with ice cleats). AK Bush tracks also don’t do as well on hard slab rock, concrete, and pavement. Again, though, for everywhere you see us going in this video, the AK Bush tracks are superior. However, even that machine with the bush tracks got stuck twice during this summer and fall seasons. In closing, I will be outfitting my machine with AK Bush tracks, but will be keeping my rubber tracks because I use my machine in deep snow and for plowing.
@@nvgun40 thanks for the comprehensive write up. I've been eyeing those tracks for a few years, it's good to hear some pros and cons from someone with experience

One of the things I really like about the Bush tracks is the owner is constantly innovating and making improvements.
Hey, your Argo cover has Argo on it..........mine doesn't o.0
I just bought a neglected 2015 Argo 750HDi 8x8. It's a step up from my 2000 Argo Conquest 8x8.
Like to see a side by side follow you lol
