Removable Dump Box Turns Argo Into Farm Workhorse

Removable Dump Box Turns Argo Into Farm Workhorse ATV'S ATV'S 23-5-28 "My new removable dump box makes the Argo amphibious vehicle a lot more useful for farm chores as well as recreation," says Larry Cox, Cadillac, Mich. Cox is a dealer for the Argo, a 6 or 8-wheeled, go-anywhere, all-wheel-drive recreational vehicle that can carry 4 to 6 people depending on the model. He designed and built the dump box on his own and displayed it at the recent Michigan Ag Expo in Lansing. His custom accessorized Argo is being marketed under the name"Duck Truck". The lightweight aluminum box measures 3 ft. long by 4 ft. wide and has 11-in. high sides. It has a removeable tailgate and also has stake holes on each corner for side racks. You can quickly remove the box and equip the unit with an outboard motor to travel much faster across lakes and ponds. "It makes the Argo, which is a great sportsman's vehicle, a lot more useful for farmers," says Cox. "You can use the box to haul hay, dirt, firewood, dirt, manure, etc., and the rack that the box sits on to mount a fertilizer spreader, spray tank and boom, etc. It takes less than two minutes to switch attachments." Cox also makes two other box sizes. One is 30 in. wide by 4 ft. long and the other 44 in long by 4 ft. wide. Both have 11-in. high sides. The Argo sells for about $7,200 and up without the cargo box.
