UTV Uses
Utility task/terrain vehicles, otherwise known as UTVs or side-by-sides, have become indispensable in many industries. From farming to construction work, there’s a good reason to use a UTV for many challenging tasks that would be laborious to do on foot or with another, more cumbersome vehicle.
Curious to know more? Crossroad Powersports in Upper Darby is your Pennsylvania UTV dealer. Here are just a few of the many ways that a UTV can make your life easier.
1. Construction Work
Need to do some building? A construction site is the perfect place to use a UTV. Whether you’re constructing a road, a house or a building, a UTV can provide you and your crew with easy transport across muddy sites. Many UTVs have high payload capacities and winches so that they can be hooked up to trailers and other attachments to help you get some work done, too.
2. Street Driving
Did you know you can drive a UTV on the street in some places? With the right outfitting, such as lights and other safety gear, your UTV can be ridden on certain back roads. Other paved places where you might want to use a street-legal UTV include airport tarmacs, retirement homes, college campuses and residential neighborhoods.
3. Hunting
While you can’t hunt from a UTV, you can certainly outfit it with LED lights and a gun rack to make it the perfect means of transporting yourself and your equipment to and from your hunting blind. Use your winch to haul your game out of a ditch before you dress it and carry it back to camp with your UTV.
4. Plowing Snow
Pennsylvania gets its fair share of snow in the wintertime. Hook a plow attachment up to your UTV and you can get your sidewalks, driveways and even the street around you cleared up in no time! This is especially great for those who live in rural areas where city snowplows might not travel. It’s much faster and less back-breaking than shoveling snow by hand, too.
5. Landscaping
Many landscaping companies get a lot of use out of UTVs. These vehicles are great for transporting a crew and their tools exactly where they need to be on a large piece of property. Hitch up a trailer so you can haul around loose materials like sand or gravel, paving stones, shrubs, saplings and bags of fertilizer with no trouble at all. Your landscaping work will be finished in no time with the help of your UTV.
6. Fence Building
Building or repairing a fence can be made much simpler with the assistance of a UTV. You can use it to carry wood along with the tools you’ll need to mend a portion of the fence. Or, if you’ve got a fence to install, attach a rear-mounted wire roller to your UTV that lets you simply drive forward to unwind the wire before you fix it into position.
7. Surveying Property
Own or manage a large piece of property? Your UTV can make it much easier to drive around and take a look at how everything is doing. You probably would rather not walk acres and acres if you don’t have to. You can figure out where to construct a building or simply prowl your own land for peace of mind with a UTV, which can also help reduce damage to the ground compared to a car or truck.
