Surprising Uses for Your ATV/UTV

When people see others using ATVs or UTVs on social media, it's likely that they're touring large properties. In some cases, that's the only reason why some people purchase them in the first place. However, we at the Cycle Exchange in Andover and Ledgewood, New Jersey, know that most people with an ATV/UTV will use it for a specific reason. Either to help transport people from one side of a property to the other or to simply carry heavy items. But did you know that are plenty of more activities that can be done with them? Read on to learn some surprising uses for your ATV/UTV, and then make sure to contact us at the Cycle Exchange for any questions or concerns you may have.

Perfect for Snow Plowing

If you live in the New York or Philadelphia area, then you know how heavy it can snow during the winter months. Although snow is pretty to look at, it's definitely not fun to have to clear away from roads and driveways. ATVs surprisingly make great snow plowers for homeowners and those with large properties.

Harrowing Your Fields

Have a small field you need to be harrowed? ATVs are a great machine to utilize for this type of job. Because they are built with strong and versatile wheels, an ATV can drive onto rough terrain with no problem. All you will need to do to accomplish this task is to add a harrow attachment to the back of the ATV.

Camping

Both New York and Philadelphia hold some of the most beautiful camping sites in the country. However, because these areas are usually federally protected, no paved roads are created, nor are large vehicles even allowed. This can make it difficult for those wanting to bring a lot of camping equipment. Fortunately, you may utilize an ATV or UTV to haul your items into these small areas. This is possible because of the amount of horsepower they have. However, it is highly recommended to first check your owner's manual to determine your vehicle's hauling limit.

Cutting Your Grass

Over the past few years, large landowners have come to the realization that they don't need to purchase expensive lawn care vehicles. This is because ATVs and UTVs are just as good and, in some cases, better than a traditional lawn machine. Although a few attachments need to be made, the benefits are well worth the time.
