So the guy was dragging a snowmobile behind him? Or did he have someone driving it following him?

Boner, no, they hopped in the Argo, some can carry 4 people you know! Just wondering.

I own a Max, you don't. You know nothing about them to say the least. My Max has taken me farther than any 4x4, boat, or snowmobile ever could. I have TRIED to compare my Max to 4x4s but there is just no comparison. When the 4x4 can't even get to the terrain there is not much to compare to. My friend came over today with a quad but we just left it at the house because we knew it would do nothing but keep us from going anywhere. My Max, even with two people and cargo, took us across ice too thin to walk on and over big logs and up hills you wouldn't touch. Not only does it go where no 4x4 can go, the Max goes where you can't walk!
Sorry, YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A MAX!

Xplorer seems to know what he is talking about. Max and Argo 6x6s or 8x8s with tracks will drive on top of ANY AMOUNT of snow just like a snowmobile. See the video at www.ArgoATV.com or www.MaxAllTerrainVehicles.com . I will not reply to any more retarded comments. If you want to see the truth you can come to the ride in KY.

Max is 56" wide which is close enough to the width of a quad that it is just not a limitation. I drive through woods anywhere I want and I don't follow any trails. BushHog I know you're lying about your little Max experience. Max does not bottom out like quads do. What ever your imagination dreamed up that you bottomed out on... it would not take four people to get it unstuck. Your poor guess at a disadvantage does not work when I have been experienced with all that kind of stuff. I can make my Max go through two 48" trees and even climb out onto ice after I broke through in a lake. Show up at KY and I'll show you how it's done.
Xplorer is right about that 1000 mile arctic trip. That is something no quad could touch and he would have been killed on a snowmobile. He actually lost THREE snowmobiles in that trip. His Argo took him all the way.

I read over the Arctic trip article again. He actually lost four snowmobiles:
1,2,3 from falling through thin ice. The snowmobile sank and his Argo of course floated.
#4 was lost near the end of the trip when he fell 75 feet through a snow drift. The snowmobile was destroyed. Call that extreme?

Maxx,Quit falling for this stuff.It's the same old stuff,as long as you keep responding people are going to keep up the same damn issues for the last year.You know what your maxx can do,they know what there quads can do the only comparisons to reach truth on this never ending topic is a all out field test.Since you already have one planned, quit responding to bs and keep up telling experiances and stories that matter.Then after you meet with the atvs later next year then talk the mines better than yours if the evidence is there.See you gotta beat your enemies by ignoring them not responding to the everyday ripps.later atvers!

Ranger,I'm not sticking up for anyone here however without turning this discussion into a heated debate go to route6x6 there is an artical on a man who did an arctic trip thru the remote site of Ivujivik ,he was the first person to make this trip it made national headlines and he did it on a Argo 8x8 ironicaly he towed behind his argo a new snowmobile in case of emergency he might need speed to get to safty however your snowmobil theory is truly false because he lost his snowmoble in the deepness of the snow and the next town he came to he purchased another and continued on however again he lost that on to.I'm not trying to make you look stupid we all do that on our own however snow capabilitys rely's on one simple fact ppsf pound per square foot,and nothing distributes less weight than these argo's and maxx's .It's true definatly a fact thats why the U.S forestry uses snow cats and not snow mobiles.

What do you think 1,000 mile of artic blizzards and no freakin snow drifts?
Posted by: xplorer
We'll it's easy to see quads have alot of awsome quality's about them,So also does the maxx.Bottom line is our atv's are awesome both maxx's and quads and motorcycles, we go places man and trucks,sport utilities and so on haven't,not only do we go were they haven't we do the stuff they can do in half the time and can usually work the next day because were not too sore.Just except everyones ride as the best don't argue it and continue on with your riding days!!!You see not everyones ride is the perfect nor does any of the rides out there rule completly over the others.Therfore quit comparing and start sharing experiances only.And to settle the tree debate I'll kickall your asses in the woods!WHY?Because I have a ride that will fit where mine and your quads won't its a 95 Suzuki DR 650(dual sport motorcycle)there is a canyon I ride that has a 15 foot section that neither one of my quads fit!So there!Quads are not better at narrower spaces than the maxx,my enduro is!but it dont accomplish sh*t in sand or mud!

Max6x6,
Ranger is talking about snow drifts, not flat snow.
Posted by: BONER
xplorer,
If a max can go around trees he can go around snow drifts.
Posted by: BONER
Could u please explain how u go between tree's 48" apart?
Posted by: BONER
He drug it. What u think he lost 3 snow moblie rider too?
Posted by: BONER
So would I, but if I were on the Rubicon trail I would take a quad.

If the Max has a wide enough space he can go just about anywhere my quad can, except water of course. But a Max is big and bulky kind of like a pick-up (my thoughts) where as my quad is narrow enough to maneuver through tight woods,rocks,etc with ease. A Max has to have more of a road to go through and is meant for marine applications more than quad related applications. When I first rode my friends Max I thought "Wow,this is neat." I was in a field with some holes and woods beside it. I went in and out of the holes just find except when I high centered and it took four people to get me out. I hit those things wide open and sort of bounced up and over the edges.(I wouldn't classify it as a jump) But that thing was so rough I had to hang on to keep from falling out.Then I wanted to go into the woods but man,it just wouldnt fit. So that's when I really didn't think a Max was practical unless you were needing to traverse water. And those are my thoughts on both quad and Max. So, my/any quad isn't better than a Max, and a Max isn't better than my/any quad.And that's the bottom line,because the moderator might say so if we keep arguing

Ok, let me think......if you can go where a snowmobile can go, I WILL GIVE YOU A COOKIE!! Yesterday i was riding my snowmobile over some drifts, that nothing but a snowmobile could go over, please show me some pics of you going over drifts that are soft and radical. Nope, not the ultimate, not by a long shot, like i said before, if you have the ultimate ATV, you have a machine that goes through ALL snow, ALL mud, can climb ANY hill, that can jump ANY jump, that can go OVER 60mph, that can OUT ACCELRATE any machine, and many other numerous situations. then you have the best ATV of all, not something that floats. and i know enough about a 6x6 that they can float, go through mud, and well that is all i have ever seen in those pics of yours, thanks.

well after reading all you coments about how killer your max is i set out to find an unbiased opinion their is a decent amont of info on the net about varios 6x6 manufacturers and fan sites with plenty of photos one thing i really noticed is every site i found had a photo or 20 that said lets see your quad do this it seems that 85%of the photos show them in watter
there were some photos of them stuck in places that i would ride my quad through without even spining a tire??HMM they look to be totaly worthless for hill climbing in the dunes (again photos tell all) rough rocky terain dosent seem to be thier element ither i dident see any photos of a rockcrawling max anywhere now im not trying to bag on 6x6s they have their element that they belong in but to call them the best atv is an outright lie the best machine for what i do is what i have and i enjoy riding it very much now you wouldent agree with that where you ride (chances are id use my boat for there) but anyways i gave your machine the benifit of the doubt and looked into it why dont you compare your machine to somthing it can be compared to because if you put it against a quad it will loose but then again if you put a quad against it the quad will loose get my point ????? perhaps if you were to step back and look at the big picture you would see more clearly

My intent was not cause anouther round of battle Max generated a curiosity on my part about the 6x6 so i did some research about them after the research i came to the conclusion that the max has limitations (many) that he will not hone up to not that its a bad machine just a limited one all the places i ride a max would be NO fun at all there is nothing sporty about a max a sense of speed is a requirement for fun for me and if i cant get there on my quad with a winch then i shouldent be there max is a fine machine but not for me and as far as the tree thing goes you are saying that you run over the little ones and climb sideways over the larger ones AND YOU FESS UP TO IT WOW ever heard of tread lightly hell why dont you just take a chainsaw and clear the woods PLEASE stay off the trails i ride people like you are causing trails to be closed

Max, how can you say your max can climb hills better than a quad, I have climbed hills your max would not get up, if you would even attempt them. You can't air it out on the top of smaller hills like I can, and most of the other people who have sport or even utility atvs can. What about hills that are bumpy and rough, I think you will not be able to get up a hill like that since your max will be bouncing and turning off course, I have yet to see a pic of a max climbing a serious hill, and I'm not talking about a sissy little pile of dirt that a lawn mower could get up.
