1995 Argo

[mikemartin]

Not a IH or CC, nor even a lawn tractor. For the last 30 years I have had this Argo 8 wheeler. All the wheels pull and it floats (about like a bathtub!) Kawasaki twin water cooled. it will go thought most anything.

It has 2 disc brakes that cause it to turn. It is a going Jesse. I've had 5 guys (plus me) in there plus a dog, guns, etc and etc going thorugh flooded soybean fields up in the Mississippi Delta. They make them in Canada. Kohler Kawasaki twin. I bought that new in '95 and paid $7000+/-. They are way more than that now. We now use it to pull cars around this lot.

A few more photos. Looks like Argo Corp is pretty $proud on their new 8 wheelers. Maybe $16000-$30000! Some are $50k!!

$7k in 1995 is equivalent to $14500 today.
