The Pocketknife of Acreage Equipment

UTVs can be your Jack of all trades

Let’s start a list of the things you can do with a UTV on your farm:

Move stone. Lug lumber. Bring friends. Hunt. Fix fences. Carry hay. Plow snow. Fish. Go anywhere.

UTVs—Utility Task Vehicles, by some definition—are the farmer’s best friend, second only perhaps to your grandfather’s pocketknife that you carry everywhere. Part truck, part tractor, and little bit of mountain goat and mule thrown in, UTVs are redefining how work gets done around the acreage.

Check out some of this year’s most exciting side-by-side UTVs.
