Argo’s utility vehicles come standard with added stability and traction, thanks in large part to the 6-wheel and 8-wheel configurations that each model offers. Some operators may wish to take this a step further, however, by using the company’s optional tracks to make their model more resilient in winter weather or when used around water. The good news for these operators is that Argo sells a full lineup of tracks for its 6×6 and 8×8 utility vehicles that will dramatically enhance their usefulness in even the most challenging weather conditions and aquatic environments. Each type of track can be paired with a slightly different UTV model, so it’s important to check the specifications and compatibility of each model prior to purchase.
22-inch Snow Tracks
Argo’s 8×8 Centaur utility vehicle is easily the company’s largest, most powerful, and most impressive model. The 22-inch snow tracks sold by Argo are exclusively compatible with its Centaur UTV, making it a perfect piece of equipment for snow removal and navigation during the coldest months of the year. Designed to be 22 inches wide for minimum ground pressure, these tracks come with a 1.85-inch steel grouser that precisely penetrates snow and ice to provide superior traction even after a major snow storm or ice event.
18-inch HD Rubber Tracks
For the warmer months, a more standard pair of rubber tracks can easily help an Argo utility vehicle power through slippery mud and turf. The company’s 18-inch Rubber HD tracks leverage their strong rubber grip in combination with steel backing plates and welded guides. This combination of reinforced steel parts gives the utility vehicle durable track hinges; its reinforced rims are also impact resistant, giving the vehicle added performance in challenging areas. These tracks are compatible with the company’s 8×8 XTD, 8×8 XTI, and 8×8 Centaur utility vehicles.
18-inch HD Quad Rubber Tracks
Argo’s Quad Rubber Tracks borrow virtually all of their high-traction feature from the standard HD Rubber Tracks mentioned earlier. Where these tracks differ, however, is in their overall length. The “quad” tracks are just long enough to fit around two wheels, allowing a quad-track configuration on Argo’s 8×8 XTD, 8×8 XTI, and 8×8 Centaur models. This configuration can boost traction and performance even more dramatically in slippery environments.
15-inch Quad Rubber Tracks
Customers looking for narrower rubber tracks that can still operate in a quad-track configuration will find what they’re looking for with these 15-inch attachments. Once again, the 15-inch models come with the same reinforced steel features and high-grip rubber materials as the 18-inch HD Rubber and Quad Rubber tracks. They are likewise compatible with the same three 8×8 and Centaur utility vehicle models mentioned alongside those two previous track options.
18-inch Rubber Tracks
Easily the most broadly compatible tracks for Argo utility vehicles, the 18-inch Rubber Tracks will add traction and extra stability to 8×8, 6×6, and Centaur UTVs. These lightweight tracks feature low rolling resistance for quiet operation in any environment, and offer a wider track width that is ideal for either extra traction or easier flotation over slick surfaces. The 18-inch Rubber Tracks are compatible with a long list of Argo models, including all of the following:
– 6×6 Frontier 580
– 6×6 650 HD
– 8×8 Frontier 650
– 8×8 700 HD
– 8×8 700 HD EU
– 8×8 750 HDi
– 8×8 XT Models
– 8×8 750 HDi SE
– 8×8 Centaur
13-inch Standard Tracks
Great for adding traction to snowy landscapes or in soggy, flooded areas, Argo’s 13-inch Standard Tracks are widely compatible with 6×6 and 8×8 utility vehicles. Unlike some of the other tracks offered by Argo for its various UTVs, these tracks require the use of 24-inch tires in order for them to fit properly into place. These narrower tracks are compatible with all of the following models:
– 6×6 Frontier 650
– 6×6 650 HD
– 8×8 Frontier 650
– x8 700 HD
– 8×8 700 HD EU
– 8×8 750 HDi
– 8×8 750 HDi SE
18-inch Super Tracks
The 18-inch Super Tracks were designed as an upgrade to the 13-inch Standard Tracks. As a result, they feature the same lightweight materials that will aid in both traction and flotation, and they require the same, 24-inch tire size. These tracks are considerably wider, however, which allows them to be even more highly effective by distributing the UTVs weight over a larger surface area. The Super Tracks are compatible with these models:
– 6×6 Frontier 650
– 6×6 650 HD
– 8×8 Frontier 650
– 8×8 700 HD
– 8×8 700 HD EU
– 8×8 750 HDi
– 8×8 750 HDi SE
Track Ice Cleats
These small cleats attach to the UTV’s Rubber Tracks or Super Tracks to provide excellent performance on even the thickest ice. Mounting hardware is included with each set of ice cleats, which are broadly compatible with virtually every 6×6, 8×8, and Centaur UTV model.
