Six Uses for a Utility Vehicle on Your Farm

Utility task vehicles are not just powerful on the trails; they are resourceful on the farm! They are compact, sturdy, and come with plenty of cargo space for storing and hauling materials. If you haven’t yet used your utility vehicle to complete tasks on your farm or ranch, here’s how you can do so now. The folks at Pattison Agriculture have created this guide to highlight six ways you can use your side-by-side at your farm. Continue reading to learn about them all, and visit us in Saskatchewan or Manitoba to explore our extensive collection of utility vehicles for sale.

1. Reach Your Destination Faster

If you own a large farm, you’ll want a fuel-efficient, compact, and fast means of transportation to take you around. Thankfully, you can use your UTV to move around your property and transport heavy loads without tiring yourself. Of course, you can use your tractor for these tasks. However, it is slower and will guzzle more gas than your UTV. These factors make your UTV the affordable and convenient option you need.

2. Transport Supplies

The substantial load-handling capability of a UTV allows you to move hundreds of pounds of supplies on your farm. From feed bags and tools to hay and other cargo, you can use your side-by-side to efficiently transport materials. If you want to expand the capacity further, consider attaching a trailer to your UTV.

3. Plant Your Crops

Once you’re ready to plant crops at your farm, use a spreader attachment with your UTV for evenly distributing seeds. The compact size of your UTV will let you manoeuvre it conveniently, and the spacious cargo space will allow you to carry sufficient seeds and fertilizer across your farm.

4. Feed Your Livestock

Feeding animals on your farm can be a time-consuming task. However, with your side-by-side, you can not only quickly load bags of feed, but you can also drive them to your feeding stations.

5. Clean Up Debris

Utilize your UTV to collect debris from your farm and transport it to a waste site. Attach a rake to your UTV to collect the waste, such as fallen leaves, animal waste, and crop residue, and conveniently transport it to a burn pile.

6. Yard Maintenance

Did you know you could trim the grass on your lawn by adding a mower deck to your side-by-side? You can also hitch your pull-behind mower to your UTV to maintain your yard like a pro. However, to prevent your UTV from disturbing your lawn, remember to install lawn-friendly tires.

We hope this guide helps you get the most out of your UTV while you’re completing chores at your farm. To check out utility vehicles for sale, head to your nearest Pattison Agriculture location. You can find us in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
