Farm Uses For UTVs

Farming is hard work, and there are a lot of little jobs that need doing regularly to keep the operation running smoothly. Luckily, you don’t have to do all of them by hand—a UTV can help! We here at Richmond Equipment want to help make your life a bit easier, so we’ve put together some of the ways you can use a UTV on your farm. For more information, or to see the UTVs we have for sale, contact our store in Richmond, Texas, today!

Plow Snow

We’re well past worrying about blizzards, but in the future, this is just one way a UTV can help you out of a bind. A plow attachment can turn your UTV into the perfect snow plow for reaching spots your car or truck can’t (or shouldn't).

Build Fences

From corrals to convenient divisions, there are plenty of ways a fence can make your farm more organized or efficient. With a UTV, you can get on-site quickly with all the tools, materials, and equipment you need with you. A rear-mounted wire unroller can help set up wire fences faster, and a cargo bed or trailer can hold an auger to help you dig holes for posts.

Mowing Lawns

You probably already have a mower if your farm has a lot of grass fields, but a UTV can replace it easily. A front-mounted mowing deck or pull-behind mower attachment can turn any UTV into a powerful and agile lawn mower, especially a model designed specifically for landscaping! This way, if you have another use for a UTV, you can cut down on storage space, as well as maintenance and fuel!

Spreading Seeds

Since UTVs are way, way lighter than the average tractor, they’re great for spreading seed without compacting the soil. Seed-spreader attachments can be hitched to the rear easily enough, and can even be used for spreading fertilizer or sand!

Catching Calves

Tagging or vaccinating calves can be a hassle, but there’s a UTV attachment that can “catch” them just long enough to tag or inject them. It’s an enclosure with metal gates that you can control from the driver’s seat, so you can care for your cattle without quite so much wrangling.

Plowing Or Harrowing Fields

A chisel or disc plow can even be hitched to your UTV for plowing fields! That way you can cultivate your fields quickly and efficiently with a much more agile vehicle. Disc and drag harrow attachments are also available if you have a preference.
