Title: Looks Like Fun
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on July 13, 2005, 23:45:27

During my afternoon out today I came across one of these up on the southern edge of Ilkley Moor.

I was following the old road (http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=410500.999999508&Y=446000.955279286&width=500&height=300&gride=410399.999999508&gridn=445999.955279286&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=grid&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=0&scale=10000&out.x=7&out.y=11) over the Moor.

I thought about asking him for a go..

We have an Argocat at Langdale (and a Supacat also).  They are great fun, especially the skid steering.  :D

I think that's the only thing that let's them down.  Ground clearance is practically none existent.

whats also i bit of a prob with them is if you go into ground thats already churned up by motors with big tyres(even 205's) they bog down easily but if runnin over fresh moorland they are great ,tried my hardest for 3 days to get it stuck,didnt manage cos they float aswell  8) ,xmob see the supacat u have what mk is it? is the ramps enclosed or open?
