The right farm equipment will help you accomplish your farm’s daily chores efficiently and effectively. While many people use a utility task vehicle (UTV) for recreation, it is uniquely suited for working on a small farm. This is because it has an excellent combination of power, durability, and balance, making them well-equipped for many tasks. Here are some advantages you will gain when you invest in one of these vehicles.

Why You Should Have a UTV on a Farm

1. Versatility

Specialty attachments allow you to use a UTV to accomplish many different tasks. For example, attaching a disk plow to the back of the vehicle lets you prepare the soil for crops, while a rake can quickly clear up debris and make yard work much easier. If you raise livestock in open fields, you can attach a spreader to the vehicle to replant grass seed or throw feed into the area quickly.

2. Hauling Capacity

Despite its compact size, a UTV has an excellent towing towing and load capacity. This allows you to transport dirt, gravel, fertilizer, firewood, and other supplies throughout your property easily. Many models have a bed capacity of up to 1,000 pounds, allowing you to pack it with as many items as you need. You can also install a trailer hitch to them to tow larger pieces of farm equipment that will not fit into the bed.

3. Speed

Thanks to their size and maneuverability, a UTV can help you complete many jobs much quicker than a traditional tractor. It can travel through narrow spaces, which is useful if you must drive through a wooded area to get to another pasture. Many models even feature engine braking systems and an active descent controller that ensures driver safety when traveling over hills. This lets you access nearly any area on your property, without worrying about getting a tractor there or sticking in mud.
