ATV/UTV Enhancements
Hobby Farms
|November - December 2022
ATVs and UTVs are highly capable machines, especially when enhanced with attachments and implements.
-

Hobby farmers in particular can benefit from an ATV or UTV. They're less expensive than a full-fledged utility tractor, but can still handle a wide variety of farming tasks.
In a perfect world, you would keep your ATV or UTV running year-round. But this is easier said than done if you live in a region with significant winter snowfall. For example, parts of Wisconsin average more than 100 inches of snowfall per year.
That makes it difficult to keep farm roads clear and machines operational.
But on the bright side, the right enhancements can turn your ATV or UTV into an all-season vehicle ready to assist when the going gets tough. A snow plow or snow blower attachment can make all the difference for keeping driveways and paths clear.
Here are five more ATV and UTV enhancements to consider installing before winter.
TIRE CHAINS
ATVS and UTVs are meant for off-road use. But deep snow and ice can foil even the toughest machines if they're not properly equipped to handle the conditions.
Tire chains can go a long way to increase the traction of an ATV or UTV in winter. That's a big plus, because getting stuck isn't just frustrating. It's a major time drain.
Who wants to be digging out a UTV when it's -5 degrees Fahrenheit outside?
