The 2023 Argo Aurora 950 Huntmaster 8×8 is the ultimate outdoorsman’s dream with its powerful 40hp air-cooled EFI engine and the standard array of equipment. It also features Argo’s ITC (Instant Torque Clutch) that responds quicker than in previous model years and increases torque to the tires for better overall performance with or without tracks installed. An 8.5-gallon fuel tank increases range, full-motion chain tensioners reduce chain stretch, and offer reduced maintenance. The unit features the Argo IPS steering, flat floors, 20% more driver compartment room with steering on the left side of the vehicle, handlebar controls with push-button start, high/low headlight switch, and the ability to now start the vehicle in gear by pulling the brake and pushing the start button. An LCD speedometer/tachometer display with a fuel gauge keeps track of your adventure and a high-mounted transmission shifter will eliminate your knees from hitting the shifter like on previous Avenger models. The increased under-hood volume will keep things cooler and an insulated firewall will increase driver comfort. Power comes from a Briggs & Stratton 40hp EFI air-cooled gas engine which provides excellent power in the deepest mud or snow and is mated to the efficient Admiral triple differential transmission that turns effortlessly even with tracks installed. Argo-designed XT117 25×12-9 (635 mm) mud and swim tires mounted on 9 offset steel AirLock rims combine to give this machine great traction and best-in-class payload all while providing a water speed of 3.0 mph. Standard equipment includes a bilge pump, removable cargo liner, full-length skid plate, hood fan with a hood scoop, front gear rack, ComeUp 3000lb winch, brushguard, front, and rear bearing extensions, 9 steel offset AirLock rims, high/ low headlights and led rear tail lights. The Aurora 950 Huntmaster 8×8 is equally well suited for hard work as it is for play providing many commercial and government customers a workhorse in their fleet, yet it’s refined and comfortable for all of your recreational needs. Extreme duty 1.375 diameter steel forged axles mounted on off-set steel AirLock rims allow for a quick and reliable conversion to tracks or running low air pressures for a more comfortable ride. Gone are the days of adding wheel spacers and lug extenders. All you need to do is turn the rim around, reinstall the lug nuts, and slide the tracks on. This new design greatly improves durability and reduces installation time. The Aurora 950 Huntmaster 8×8 is powered by a 4-stroke OHV V-Twin air-cooled 993cc, 40 hp (29.8 kW) Briggs & Stratton Vanguard Marine engine with electronic fuel injection and a 50 amp alternator. It has a load capacity of up to 990 lb. / 449 kg on land or 790 lb. / 358 kg on water, can transport 6 passengers on land, and up to 4 on water, and features a towing capacity of 1800 lb. / 816 kg. The Aurora 950 Huntmaster 8×8 is available in tracked or non-tracked configurations. This model does not meet California CARB emission standards and cannot be sold or shipped to California.
