Please clarify the "will get stuck with it" part of your post. I just got back from the swamp where I've been pushing on my Prairie for 30 minutes. The problem with the Prairie, or any other wheeler, is after I cross the same swampy ground a couple of times it goes all to hell. No bottom really. I know the 6x6 or 8x8 has a lighter footprint.

hello slinger what i meant was when i get mine stuck it is usually in some deep ruts when the underneath gets hung up and the tires just spin freely but as far as what you want it for it would work great .because if it is only swamp the whole thing is like a 4'by8' piece of plywood with tires on it so it will not sink it will just mostly stay on top of the swamp hope this helps

Just curious. Is the Argo made by the same folks who make the Maxx . I heard they no longer make one of those.
Is that true?

Thanks

Aaron
