Surprising Uses For Your ATV

Most people think of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) as something fun to ride through mud or down a nature trail. However, ATVs can actually be quite handy for several work purposes and chores on your property. Here are some interesting ways you can use an ATV that you may not have thought about before.

1. Tilling Fields

If you’ve got a farm or a large garden and you want to cultivate the soil for planting, why not hitch up a pull-behind rake and tiller to your ATV instead of performing the task by hand? You can get nice, professional results and get your soil ready for seeds.

2. Plowing Snow

Sick of getting out the shovel and trudging across your driveway in the winter? Make short work of winter storms with a snowplow attachment on your ATV! This is especially useful if you’ve got a lot of area to clear, such as sidewalks or a parking lot. You’ll save yourself from some backbreaking labor and get the snow cleared in a fraction of the time.

3. Spreading Material

Do you have a lot of loose material that you need to spread over a large area? Perhaps you’re trying to fertilize or distribute grass seeds across an entire lawn, or you need to dump a lot of sand or gravel to create a driveway or path. An ATV with a spreader attachment will make this task much easier, allowing you to spread your material evenly so that you don’t waste it or pile up too much in one area.

4. Hauling Stuff

Yes, stuff. Whatever stuff you’ve got that you’d rather not have to carry, you can hitch up a trailer to your ATV and carry it that way. Bricks, sacks of concrete, compost, firewood, trash… anything you can think of can be readily transported over your property with your trusty quad. You won’t have to make multiple trips or injure yourself lifting heavy things over a long distance.

5. Hunting Game

While you can’t hunt from the ATV itself, plenty of hunters are using ATVs as a way to get their gear and game to and from the blind. In fact, some hunters with disabilities find ATVs to be the ideal way to participate in their favorite pastime.

6. Camping

Many people like to use their ATVs for camping because of the vehicle’s high hauling capacities. Some models can carry anywhere from 800 to 1000 pounds of stuff, which means you can transport lots of gear to your campsite in the woods without having to wend your way through with a truck.
