NEW HAMBURG, Ontario – New Argo Amphibious UTV track systems increase reliability and performance in the most difficult terrains on earth. Unlike add-on track systems for UTVs and pick-up trucks, Argo engineers its track systems to work specifically with each model. Because Argos have six or eight wheels instead of four, they provide increased surface area to attach to the track systems, maximizing traction and reducing ground pressure.

For travelling in environmentally sensitive areas and over thick mud, muskeg or deep snow, tracks are a must. With the 455-mm track systems, a loaded Argo has a ground pressure that is considerably lighter than a person’s footstep so it will not damage plants or substrates. Low ground pressure makes it easier and safer to travel over frozen ponds or lakes. The tracks also offer improved flotation and durability.

Ideal for light duty use on snow, mud or flooded areas, the 330-mm standard tracks work with 610-mm Argo tires. These value priced thermoplastic rubber tracks are equipped with integrated track guides and do not require axle extensions to install the tracks. This style of tracks works with any model equipped with 610-mm Argo tires on a variety of terrain.

The 380-mm quad rubber tracks work well for medium duty use on extreme terrains. These solid continuous rubber tracks come with four segments and steel guides to fit over 610-mm turf tires. Because of their rectangular profile, these tires offer increased surface area to grip the tracks and the ground. The quad tracks each fit over two tires, enhancing the Argo’s steering and climbing capabilities in rocky and uneven terrain.

New for 2014 is a heavy-duty track system that is specifically designed for commercial use. These 455-cm  heavy duty rubber tracks are designed to fit the 8x8 XTI, 8x8 XTD and 8x8 Centaur models. Engineered to tackle extreme terrain with a maximum payload, these solid rubber, hinged tracks with steel guides and reinforced steel rims work hard in flooded areas, mud  or deep snow and are available in tandem and quad styles.

For the most versatile vehicle in extreme snow, customers can equip their 8x8 Centaur with 560-mm snow tracks. These ladder-style, belted snow tracks with steel grousers offer optimal performance in very deep snow. Their extremely low ground pressure 6.9 kPa means that the Centaur almost floats over the snow. In the winter, the Centaur is usually the first vehicle out to groom trails for snowmobiles or other vehicles.  All 455-mm and 560-mm track systems require axle extensions prior to installation.

Most tracks are also available for Argo’s new eight-wheel trailer coming with either 610-mm) or 457-mm  tires. With tracks, trailers will not get stuck even on the roughest terrain, including muskeg, bogs and deep snow.
