I was looking in the phone book for a ATV shop for Honda parts and the adjacent ad featured Argo and Centaur, I'd never really been too impressed with the Argo's I'd seen, ,mainly living in a land where you have to go quite a few miles to get to a destination and the Argo was the slow boat (pun)
I never heard of Centaur so I looked em up, they are different than a Argo and had some neat features, one them they come with a turbo charged 30hp diesel Daihatisu. according to the data sheets the Argo top out around 23mph on certain models and the Centaur tops out at 28mph on ground and 2.5 mph on water, they dident rate water with tracks.
What interested me was to use on the front of a Honda rancher for a receiver hitch /winch hook up.
I think a ATV front mounted receiver hitche would be great for putting a smaller boat /trailer in, swap ends when pulling it out.
Front mounted winch with a danforth boat anchor is a idea in muddy ground.
The idea I like is the winch is solidly mounted but quick to change to the back end if needed, may be winching your self backwards or winching, chain the fron bumper to a tree and winch up a loaded trailer? then tie it off and keep leap frogging? up a steep slope!
