We had tried 4-wheeler ATVs, but they were really only good for moving one person at a time, and not at all good for added stuff. Too high, not designed for carrying much of anything. Too fast, easy to crash in the woods.<\/p>\n<p>We had no desire to try using horses, but I&#8217;m sure they would&#8217;ve worked really well with some sort of trailer.<\/p>\n<p>These Argo 8x8s though, worked wonderfully. Low to the ground, no risk of ever tipping one of these, and with a pretty large bin it was easy to carry equipment. With eight wide tires, they never sunk into mud too deeply. These float too! So we could even cross small streams &#038; marshy areas without much concern. Worked pretty good in snow too, but we never added tracks nor fought really deep snow.<\/p>\n<p>They skid steer, and are very easy to drive. We never felt they were likely to tip, and they aren&#8217;t super speedy, so the only pain we ever felt was twig-whipping on our faces. We found them to be mechanically reliable too. Never broke down, never left us stranded. Easy to move them around on a simple flatbed trailer.<\/p>\n<p>If this looks like something you could use, then I assure you it&#8217;ll do the job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8-wheel drive amphibious off-road vehicle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24460"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24460"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24460\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24462,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24460\/revisions\/24462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
