Looking for advice on which machine would be better for flooded rice field hunting. Most of the water is knee(ish) deep. Looking at either a Polaris SxS with mud tires, or a Argo to get to the blind to drop of hunters/gear, then drop it back off on land in a brush pile.
Let me know what you think

TIA

Argos are rough-riding SOBs. If you have more than about a quarter mile to drive, get something with suspension. Argos are also not nearly as versatile as a UTV.
That's been my experience, anyway.

Never used an Argo but I have used a SxS for that. I did it in a Kawasaki Mule. It was a little underpowered for the job but with a 2" lift and mud tires it got it done. If I was going to do it a bunch, I'd definitely want something bigger. Most of the guides I saw, used Polaris.

I haven't tried Argos. I have had a few experiences with SxS and it is not that sturdy, it is better to get something of bigger size.

Uh, like, an F250?

I have both and the Argo is better for that application. while they can float and cross water they are not boats but getting through swamps much better in my opinion

That's why you've never been asked to be a Moderator.

So, to enlighten those of us not in the know...and because it's not obvious.... what did he do to get banned?

The rest of us might want to know so we can avoid committing the same infraction(s) and avoid the same fate.

Best advice is to not move to Pakistan.

No, all users with IP's coming from Pakistan get banned. Same with China, India, Russia and many other countries. If you would like me to direct them to your email address I will be happy to.

I don't think they'd get the same, snappy repartee from my emails that they'd get here.

And thank you for finally letting us know why that one person was banned.

You are the only one that didn't understand so not sure who "us" is but glad I could help.

I have had the Argos and SXS. Argos are great for spots where the SXS might sink like tundra applications or deeper water despite them being slow in the water. The Argos ride rough, lower clearance and turn like a tank or a cat would vs a steering wheel. Argos also only have maybe 8" of clearance. The benefit to a SXS is you can lift them, if need be, more aggressive tire options, you can add the rack system do a 4 door, add doors if need be. Can also add all the light bars to help on setup as they will have a higher mounting point and you can make them street legal. More of a multi-use rig. Argos are great for deeper water applications or where more buoyance is required or like I said for tundra especially with the 8-wheel option. You can also add the tracks to them if need be or the spacers to add extra sets of tires.
