How to Use Your UTV for Farm Work
The compact size and heavy-duty construction of UTVs or side-by-sides make them the go-to vehicle for several applications. Side-by-sides can provide a wide variety of benefits to farmers. With so many farming attachments available for UTVs, they can even take the place of tractors in many scenarios. UTVs can be used for plowing, raking up debris, harrowing, sowing seeds, fertilizing, and hauling livestock feed and bales of hay. Well, this may seem like a long list already, but you’re sure to discover even more applications.
Plow Your Fields
Get your farm ready for planting by attaching a disc plow or chisel plow to the rear of your UTV. This allows you to easily cultivate your fields and get them ready for planting. If you also need to harrow, then you can purchase a disc or drag harrow attachment to complete this task much more efficiently.
Spread Seeds
If you are looking for a quick and simple way to distribute seeds on your tilled land, all you need to do is hitch up a spreader attached to the back of your side-by-side. Grass seed and other types of seed are easy to scatter with this attachment. A spreader will also come in handy when you need to apply fertilizer or spread sand.
Transport Firewood
If your farm is located on a wooded acreage and you have a wood-burning stove, you know just how tough it can be to lug your cut wood back to the house. It’s not always simple to get a pickup truck or other large vehicle into a forest area, either. Fortunately, the compact size of a side-by-sides makes it perfect for heading into the woods and hauling your firewood back home with a trailer.
Mow the Lawn
You’ll be happy to know that the latest models of UTVs can be equipped with lawn-mowing decks or pull-behind attachments. This means you can cut grass in a pinch, which is always useful around a farm. You can look into landscaping-oriented models that are built to help you manicure your lawn and keep it looking sharp.
Build a Fence
If you’re looking for a way to fence your property, a UTV is exactly what you need. It will help you get around your land with all the essential tools for the job. You’ll save a lot of time doing it this way instead of attempting to go on foot around the perimeter of your property. You even have the option of using a rear-mounted wire unroller to spool out a wire fence with little to no effort.
