Your work demands that you get to remote

sites through challenging terrain with your

equipment and crew. Performance and time are

crucial factors in the success of your operation.

Designed for reliability in the toughest conditions,

the amphibious ARGO crosses ponds and streams,

travels through mud and over rocks, snow and ice.

The all season ARGO transports up to six passengers

and has a load capacity of up to 1150 lbs.

An optional amphibious trailer carries an additional

600 lbs., further optimizing the efficiency of your

off-road operation.

If youre looking for increased performance,

enhanced comfort and a load carrying capacity

of up to 1500 lbs., choose the 8x8 CENTAUR. When

considering an ARGO or CENTAUR, you'll be glad to

know that they are both built with the finest in

engineering technology, backed by over 40 years

of experience and, are unquestionably the best

off-road vehicles youll ever drive.

Designed for those who

demand the best, the

new ARGO Avenger EFI

features excellent high

altitude performance,

effective throttle re-

sponse, improved fuel economy with lower

emission rates, on-board diagnostics for ease of

maintenance, reliable cold weather starting, and

space for up to 6 passengers or 1150 lbs. on land.

This powerful all-terrain vehicle is unsurpassed

on land or in the water. You can maximize

your emergency

response by using

an ARGO 8x8 for

search and rescue

tasks in remote

areas.

Designed to be a reliable

partner in challenging

environments, the 8x8

CENTAUR features con-

ventional automotive

controls, low centre of

gravity, low environmental impact and an integrated

rollover protection structure for driver and passenger.

Increase your mobility for geological surveying and

natural resource exploration by using the ARGO 8x8

or CENTAUR as a platform to

mount a drilling rig. Control

mosquitoes in marshy terrain

with an 8x8 ARGO or

CENTAUR that has

been equipped

with a sprayer.

The versatility of the ARGO and CENTAUR

makes them ideal for utility line service!

Crews and equipment have to travel miles through

challenging terrain to inspect hydro lines orprospect new drilling sites. Helicopters or tracked

vehicles may be able to get the job done, but at

what cost? Todays cost-conscious industry players

have another choice: The ARGO or CENTAUR.

Use the ARGO and CENTAUR to transport people,

supplies and installation materials. The ARGO

and CENTAUR can also pull cables and utility

poles to remote work sites.

Some emergency tasks require the extra

advantage that only the ARGO can provide. The

all terrain, amphibious ARGO 8x8 transports

personnel and equipment to the site and

evacuates the injured. Add the ARGO to your

rescue fleet for the added assurance you need

when the odds are stacked against you.

Dont wait until your next emergency.

Able to traverse the roughest terrain, the CENTAUR,

equipped with fogging or spraying equipment,

helps to extinguish isolated brush fires. Equip the

ARGO or CENTAUR with the latest in insect control

devices and you now have a vehicle with unlimited

potential. Access remote regions to target specific

problem areas. These reliable and economical

vehicles are unmatched by any in the industry.

Military and Humanitarian Applications

The ARGO and CENTAUR are both air deliverable,

can be used in all seasons and are developed to

accommodate all terrain conditions. Their rapid

deployment capability, together with the modular

flexibility of the system facilitates many tasks and

applications.

Resort Lodges, Outfitters and Ecotourism

The multi-passenger ARGO is ideal for wilderness

exploration, adventure tours, photo safaris,

customer shuttles and everything in-between.

Take advantage of your ARGO to get the work

done around your property as well. The rugged

ARGO tows and carries loads, and allows you to

work in areas that are normally inaccessible at

certain times of the year.

Spring thaws and heavy rains can create difficult

situations for working in dense bush and rugged

terrain. With the ARGO and CENTAUR you can operate

in any season, tapping maple trees, harvesting logs,

creating hiking and cross-country ski trails, and

transporting equipment and crew. Both vehicles

offer tremendous maneuverability through dense

bush and their light footprint and powerful

traction make even soft cedar swamps a breeze.

StabilityLow centre of gravity and lightweight design allow for safe operationin challenging terrain while providing 8 inches (200 mm)of ground clearance at the centre of the vehicle.

Low Environmental ImpactEight 25(635 mm) diameter low pressure tires provide a light footprinton sensitive terrain. Equipped with the optional 15" rubber or 22"snow tracks, unladen vehicle ground pressures of 0.6 psi can be attained.

Driver TrainingConventional automotive controls reduce driver training andorientation periods and heighten the ease of operation, even inchallenging conditions. The unique dual differential transmissionsteered by a self-contained hydrostatic pump and motor provideszero turning radius with minimal power absorption.

Low Cost MaintenanceBriggs & Stratton Daihatsu parts, service and technical support areavailable worldwide. The patented CENTAURMATIC mechanical

transmission and SUNDSTRAND hydrostatic power pack providefeatures and benefits found in expensive hydrostatic drive systemswithout incurring the high maintenance cost associated with thesesystems.

SafetyRollover protection structure (ROPS) with integral driver andpassenger seat belts and safety glass windshield provide occupantsafety and comfort. The low centre of gravity, full-time eight-wheeldrive, coupled with the governed engine provide sure-footed controland maneuverability through all weather and all terrain conditions.

The CENTAUR 8x8 is engineered to be a reliable partner in the toughestconditions imaginable. With preparation, the CENTAUR can cross streamsand ponds, go through mud and over rocks, snow, and ice. Transportmaterial, equipment and supplies with a total load capacity of 1500 lbs.

Solid InvestmentThe CENTAUR can be used all year round and is considered to be a feasibleinvestment. The CENTAUR can be leased or financed through many localand national finance companies. Talk to your local CENTAUR dealer toestablish the best solution for your needs.
