Thoughts on Centaur?

[catvet]

Keep looking for the best UTV for working in the woods and such. Any one have any experience with the Centaur vehicles by Argo? Has anyone seen a price? Look interesting but my experience has been that anything good is expensive. If you put the dump body on back looks like you should be able to do a lot of work.

if it's like the argo they are pretty good but alot of them develope leaks in the body . but other than that the argo's are pertty good.but on dry land runni i heard they go through alot of tires but it depends on what type of surface your runnin them on hard packed dirt or soft dirt.but in the woods i think they would be pretty good being that they can turn on a dime.

I'm willing to bet you could buy a really loaded Kubota RTV for what they would want for one of those. I would think about part accessability also. But, then again I'm pretty sure the RTV's can't float !!!

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if I could get a RTV for less. I was thinking that the tracked version would be a big plus in the woods in the winter with snow.

the tracks would be a plus on any terrain. not to mention the cornering it could have in the woods. you would be able to spin right around any tree instead of doing the forward and reverse thing to make your way around a tree with the regular utv.and if you need more hauling room just pull a trailer or skid.although the ride might be rougher than a utv with shocks you will beable to go alot more places a utv can't.

I'm not sure about the centaur but my argo avenger which is the top of the line argo 8x8 was $15,000.This is my 2nd argo,and I have had great service out of these machines,the first being a vanguard 2 6x6.If you are going to be around alot of water you can't beat em.I never turned a wrench on my first one until it was 4 years old and never changed a tire because it was wore down.I did punch a hole in a couple.The only reason I bought a new argo was because I lost the 6x6 off my trailer doing 50 mph.They are very dependable machines that will give years of service with a little preventive maintenance.
