I think it performed incredibly well for a $1000 all in build. Well done.

I like it. I cannot believe that little motor can even turn that transmission,let alone move that chariot through the rough! All in all a great job!

on a vehicle like this with an open differential driving the tracks, apply a bit of brake to both tracks to get them to both drive at the same time.

Looks like he did a good job for using "on hand parts" with a budget in mind...👍😃

Out of all home made tracked machines ive seen on youtube ,this is my most favorite ,would love to own it....

Looks like it performs very well, really good for playing in the snow. Well done!

It's impressive what he made. It's so fascinating to see the technology that comes from that part of the world. Overcoming conditions like muskegg and bogg. They take such a different approach. Some of the most interesting machines

Very cool machine! It never ceases to amaze me at just how creative people can get, with spare parts, a little money, and some injenuity! I just may build one of these myself!!!

Without a suspension (more than the air in those tires) you can't really go much faster. That engine is fine. Put a trolling motor on the back. You'd have a reasonable boat. I was really impressed at how those tracks stayed on.

i think it's a very good vehicle for it's intended application - access to remote areas for fishing, on a budget. for this, i believe that cheapness of the engine overcomes its lack of power. as for slowness, i think it's ok, as moving 30km into a remote area is quite enough, and it's builder probably either fishes locally or uses a trailer. it could be even possible to use it as a fishing boat, just anchor it and fish. my remark could be that it has no protection from elements and for example extra lights, but that's easy to install, to be honest. overall, it looks like an excellent vehicle!

Pretty Sweet Man! That looks like a pretty good base model you could use to ad lot's of options to.

Excellent effort, and with a bit or R&D this machine could compare favorably to very expensive commercially produced machines.

love it, I just wish you had a few more details.

Love to have the plans for this

Very well done a few modifications it be perfect let's not forget the budget lots as been accomplished with very little money an Argo here in Alberta with tracks roll cage is $35000 Take care be safe

The Russian people sure know how to build tracked machines!

The only missing part is suspension. However, with that price point thats still pretty impressive!! 👍

he can improve machine,, few tweaks ,, but i think he did great job,, one best homemade i have seen nice job

he should add a folding waterproof roof , that's really nice. enjoyed this video very much. Thanks

Yes. It is a bit crude, and probably rides rough, but he could set it up to use low pressure atv tires and soften his ride considerably. It would be much like a sprung suspension and also give a little more traction on uneven terrain, I would think. I like it. It is probably more robust than a lot of factory, 20,000 dollar rigs. It's is not cramped up for 4 people, either.

Thanks for sharing mate!!

Truly excellent work

Total lack of suspension is unfortunate. I'm too old to take the bumps! But a very Good job!

Damn good job man

I like it! How can I build one myself? I need the blue prints!

That is nicely made!

With a 22 hp Vtwin he could really pull. Great ingenuity and resourcefulness.

Good for you... Argos cost way too much money... ours cost $14 000 🇨🇦 ten years ago.

thank you guys

I know this is old but maybe a suspension seat would make it not so jarring. Great build. I want one.

you have any build plans for this great build

Fantastic! Build details please.

I really like this machine. For the price you cannot beat the deal for sure. Very nice work making a unique machine for getting around the swampy terrain of Russia and go fishing too. V

Great video! Thank you!

nicely done

Wow! A very talented builder.

I still want one of them. Like all you've done

Yeah but, $1000 in Russia is about $5000 outside it.

Great video

Good skill's 👍

Love how the dude is wearing a full camo snow suite with toque but no mitts... Tough bastard.

That's awesome.

If you lightly brake the spinning track the transmission will start to drive the other side, it's one of the reasons tractors used two brake pedals. I would want some roll bars if for no other reason than to put a roof on it and possibly some canvas sides, open topped may look fine but wet leads to cold and miserable, and that is not fun.

...can you please upload a tutorial on how to do this? Please?!

winches can be attached fore and aft

From Mozambique. Very nice I like it. I like you to build other kind of machine

Is there any build plan's avilible for this build ??

Hi 👋 where did you get the tracks from ?

Nice guys 🌋

Very clever & super effort indeed, but snow & water will be the most of anything it will hold up in. I don't see that track holding up for any real usable service life. Now a 6 wheel drive variant and a better budget would be much more forgiving.

Wow that is one cool machine

This needs uaz engine, diferential lock and suspension. And the crush bar. Otherwise very cool. I like the "no sprocket" approach, but that only works because there is no suspension. I wonder if makers of these vehicles foam the wheels.

But that does need a rollover protection!!! That’ll squash everyone if it goes over...we had to make our own... to save $$$

This is fucking genius... I was trying to figgure out a way to Power both tracks Independently but this guy just leaves all those complicated gearbox parts out and breaks on one side and the centrifugal clutch just does the rest 👍👍👍

I would like to buy this. Please advice. Thank you

That kid got checked at 3:18 dad was like hang on son hang on hang not!

I have a fascination with track vehicles now

So nice

Will they go into production?

How do I get the plan to build one like this

who is doing this tool. How do I get the utv? How many hp engines are on it?

no suspension?

Nice

Tiny tank that is asome!!!

Really necessary to leave your mark on the forest by running over everything?

Great vehicle

привет из сша. Adding a small boat motor could help steer in the water. Similar to the BRDM-2.

My question is, just where do you find tracks? I've never seen anything in any junk yards I've ever been. Otherwise, I want one NOW !!!

Do you have plans

Where can I buy this?

FOR $12 - $17000 YOU GET LITTLE MORE WITH A NEW ARGO, WHICH ALSO HAS NO SUSPENSION, WORKS OFF THE EXACT SAME WHEEL/TRACK/CHAIN DRIVE SETUP, HAS LIMITED CUSHIONED SEATING AND USES AN 18 HP KOHLER V-TWIN... BUT A LIFAN IS A ADEQUATE ENGINE. AN ARGO ALSO BARELY MOVES IN WATER, AND DEPENDS ON RIBBED TIRES TO PADDLE IT - WHICH HE COULD HAVE EASILY SOURCED. ARGOS ALL TOO OFTEN DEPEND ON WINCHES, ATVS OR ANOTHER ARGO TO PULL THEM UP ON LAND OR OUT OF ICE, BUT THEY DO HAVE A TRANS WITH A DIFFERENTIAL LOCK GIVING YOU 6 OR 8 WHEEL DRIVE... BUT AT 18 TO 23hp, THEY ARE FAR UNDERPOWERED FROM THE 2 STROKE 45HP MACHINES OF YESTERYEAR.

For 1000$ without suspension is perfect toy for the family 😍

How cute he went over a little log. Gotta get a sherp.

Nice👍👍👍

Can i buy this

Title should be "Homemade Argo atv 8x8".

what are the measurements

That's argo. You can buy used for 1-3000

Ah, the hero of the off road community. The humbly noble.......winch.

这用的力帆的发动机QAQ

Siberian winters are beyond brutal. ... these ppl know what's up.... tracks are the only way to go......!

💪💪👌

Yea it’s a shame we can’t get them over here in the USA for $1000. If someone did sell them here in the US the ATV would cost $5000 or more

First and foremost needs roll bar with windshield/brush-shield then diff-lock which will add $10,000.00......

Any plans available?

Enough show but display some details how to so some kids can build it too!

That poor kid gets the crap knocked out of him several times. The design is cool though.

Mind sharing the drive line specs?

??why down votes?

What you need to show the people is how the steering works and I don't mean showing the levers you pull. You need to show the rear end and how the breaking works.

3:56 A UFO APPEARS!

where do you get your track belts.

How did he make the tracks?

Boy like to have him build me one

For a thousand bucks it’s pretty good.

I Just saw the kid fall off the seat at 3:17.???

It needs a roll bar and windshield, otherwise good job.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

03:18 seat belts a must for all occupants

needs PKM
