UTV Customizations for Use on the Farm
Farm work can be hard work, but there are several tools to help make the day go more smoothly. One popular option is a UTV, or utility terrain vehicle, which can be used for transportation and projects around the farm. Most models come standard with features that are extremely beneficial, but there also some customization options that can make them even better.
Light Bars
Every UTV model will be equipped with lighting similar to a car. You’ll have headlights, brake lights, and turn signals. However, you probably often work past sunset and wake again before sunrise, so sometimes the standard lighting isn’t enough.
A great customization option can be adding light bars! They can easily be wired in to add extra light sources for projects or to navigate around the property.
Winch and Towing Options
UTVs are made to move several passengers, but they are also designed to haul heavy materials. Whether you’re hauling feed, water buckets, construction materials or other goods, you want to be able to do it quickly and efficiently.
One option you might consider is finding a model that has a tilt-bed. This addition can be a gamechanger for your heavy lifting! Instead of strenuous shoveling, you can dump feed, soil and other materials immediately.
You can also consider adding a winch for serious off-road tasks.
Attachments
The biggest customization option is the wide array of attachments you can add. One example is the addition of a snow plow. You can turn your UTV into a snow-clearing tool for the winter months.
Other great farm attachments include bed mounts, spreaders, plows, and harrows.
Comfort
UTVs are very maneuverable and can help you access areas you may otherwise be unable to reach. However, this can sometimes cause a bumpy ride for you and your passengers. Many customization options relate to the comfort during travel.
You can get doors and windows added to your UTV to reduce exposure to the elements and then utilize heating and cooling to keep the cab comfortable.You might also consider adding seat belts for especially rough terrains!
Tires and Steering
Customizing the tires can also help with your travel experience. You can choose tread that fits your landscape better so you won’t have as much concern with wear and tear over time.
You may also need to add power steering for a better experience. This can be essential if you know multiple people will be driving the vehicle; people will be more confident operating with power steering capabilities.
