Big Cliff

Crap Doug that isn't good news about the Trenton Dealership, they were considered to be pretty good. I hope you are right and this is just a covid bump, Argo sales seem to be going really well lately as more people become aware of the versatility. 

No, inspite of really trying I have not been able to get this thing REALLY stuck LOL. Apart from when I first got it and got stuck in that little stream (which wouldn't even slow me down now) I have managed to get center hung a few times but always managed to work my way off just by shifting weight and such.

I love that I can drive right into a swamp and hunt from it (keys out of the ignition 😊 while hunting) don't need a dog or waders to go get birds, sit in a nice comfortable seat with a big thermous of hot soup.... and when the hunt is over just drive up to my door and unload. This thing has extended my hunting and fishing years significantly. 

As far as the service, I can do most of the regular stuff, grease, chain lube, oil changes.... I am slow at it (well I don't move too fast at anything anymore lol) but if you ever need help with that sort of stuff load it on your trailer, bring it up, spend a couple of days (guest room is always available) and  we can make an Argo adventure out of it. 😊

Amagine floating down the Notty in one of those. I could do the hill too. 😆 

Nothing worse then a dealership pulling crap like that Cliff. I hope you called him and told him you got it fixed. What an ass.

Oh, I posted a review on Google, Argo sent me a survey and I filled it out honestly, I have let them know in no uncertian terms where they dropped the ball. Funny thing is almost all the Google reviews are glowing but you'd be surprised how many other reports I have had with experiences similar to mine. 

Anyway, I am happy now, I have a dealer close by that knows his stuff and can service my Argo when needed. 

As a bonus I am even going trout fishing next week to a little lake I haven't been able to fish for several years now because I couldn't manage to haule the boat and motor to it any more. So looking forward to it 😊

Well my adventures are winding down for this season, I have to say this thing has amazed me at so many levels. I have gone through stuff I wouldn't have even tried with a 4 wheeler, up hills where 4 wheeler s even with big lug tires were having trouble, through rock mazes where you had to make 90° turns and swamps and mud holes that would have previously stop in my tracks. This thing gave me opportunities to fish, explore, harvest in places I could never have even come close to without it and I never even got my feet wet! It's a joy to operate and fish from and I have a freezer full of fish to do me until hard water fishing. I do love my Argo!

The dealership was a different issue, broken promises, mistakes galore, lack of service..... I had one issue with the tachometer from day one. Waited all summer for them to get a replacement in and when they did finally get it, it didn't resolve the issue. Left the Argo with them with a promise they would call me back the following week. Two weeks later no call back and when I called them; "they were too busy to even look at it".

In total frustration I picked it up and brought it home but on the way I stopped at RMC Argo Sales in Beaverton. I explained what the problem was and even though I hadn't bought it from him Roy had no problem taking a look at it right then and there. 15 Minutes later he had it fixed, not only that but he checked everything over for me, idler chain adjustment and everything NO CHARGE!

I really wish now that I had bought my unit from him, he has over 20 years experience on Argos and boy does he know his stuff. Two of my friends are buying Argos this spring, you know who they will be going to. Roy did mention that now is the time to get your order in to take advantage of Argo's promotions for delivery next spring. If you are thinking of buying one check him out!

I (think) these are bloody milkcaps but I am not 100% sure, any mushroom pickers that can help me make a positive ID.

Listed on Market place and Kijiji, what a circuis! Wants to buy it and insists on payment by pay pal. Would you take $25,000.00 (I am asking $42,500,00. ) Send me more pictures, (of what?) I  will come and see it tomorrow but go to (a website) and send me the reports ( yup, a charge for the reports). I can sell your coach for you just send me $395.00..... boy there are a lot of scamers out there. 

Thanks for the replies, I think I am going to pass on this offer, it just doesn't feel right.

If he's insisting and not open to other foolproof methods, I see a red flag fluttering in the breeze.

Ya, that's sort of my feeling but I don't have any experience with getting payments through PayPal

I have a guy in California that wants to buy my motor coach and is insisting on paying for it by PayPal. I am worried that it could be some sort of a scam and that once he takes delivery he could claim it wasn't as advertisied or something. Any thoughts?

Cliff, next time just send me a text. I didn't get this until just now, but otherwise I could have left right away. Don't forget I am close by, and always willing to help. If not me, Lori would also. 

S. 

You and Lori are both amazing and I really appreciate and enjoy any time we do have together! This time it worked out thanks to David (Beans son in law) gave us a great opportunity to get to know each other and even discuss an idea he has for a new business venture he has in mind. 

Thanks again everyone for your PMs , once again OFC to the rescue. 😊

Thanks Lew I will keep an eye out for it. 

Beans my old friend, that would be wonderful! I will pick him up at your place tomorrow morning at 6 am if that works for him. Should have him back home mid afternoon tomorrow. It's a  straight up and back trip. 

Thank you so much, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!

Well, if we could head up Wednesday morning early that would be perfect but I  would be happy just to get it done. 

I need a ride up to French River from lindsay Asap. (Person I was counting on just bailed on me) You can use my car, I  need to bring my coach home. Will pay $100.00 and provide gas and any other reasionable expenses. I will even do the drive up, all you have to do is bring the car back for me.

Thanks for the replies and advice. We both agree that having a legal doccument drawn up is the best idea. We aren't even sure if we are going to do it yet but it doesn't make much sense for both of us to live alone and support two house holds. Anyway, I will be talking to a lawyer in the morning. 

5 years ago I lost my solemate and the love of my life of 38 years. It's been a rough road, I'm not even going to try to describe my journey but I know some of you have traveled it before me. 

Last year I met a lady, she is kind and good, she seems to care about me. I am thinking about asking her to move in with me. She has already said she wants to live with me. What I don't know is; do I need to get some sort of legal doccument done up? I have my children to think about, I guess where I am finding a hard time is trying to decide the differance between living together and cohabiting. 

Absolutely amazing

Hang it Cliff if you can. I found it worked great.

I am going to try that after seeing your post, looked like a better way to do it 😊

Sobey's has whole skinless pork bellies starting tomorrow @$4.99/lb time to start getting my baccon made up for the winter and a stash of smoked pork for baked beans. 

I eat bass, my son eats bass my kids, grandkids and great grandkids all eat bass and if we want to keep our limit we will! If you want to take your limit it is your right to do so. Like misfish said get his plate # and report him. Enjoy your bass dinner. 

Drove up yesterday (thursday) hit Naiscoot about 1 pm , North bound line up about 1/2 km, South bound line up over 5 km. I  hate to think what it would be on a Friday afternoon, you might be better to go up 11 and cut across 522 if you are making the trip at anything other than off hours.

I replaced mine a couple of years ago.  I was able to get a custom axel from Cerka in Milton for less than Princess auto charges for their axels.  If you're further east, there is a place on the south end of 35/115 (Easton's?) that has a good reputation.

 

Yup, I have used them before and was very pleased with the quality and service. 

It is nuts, boats are selling for 3X what they did 5 or 6 years ago, I was going to sell my coach last spring and upgrade to a bigger newer one. The one I wanted sold for way over asking. I could have got more for mine too but decided to just keep it, there was nothing wrong with it I just had 2 foot itice😊

As for the cataracts Lew, i couldn't beleive how many stars there were in the sky untile I had mine done or how white white really was. 

Congratulations Dan, I am sure you will find it very different for a while, I know I did but I now have so many things to keep me busy I don't know where I ever found time to work. Enjoy, you have earned it.
