Ways to Use Your UTV on the Farm

Agriculture is the backbone of modern society and has been for most of human history, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to ancient tools. UTVs are compact, powerful machines that can be used to help you with your farming. We here at Tatum Motor Company believe in getting the most from your day, so we’ve put together a few of our favorite ways to use your UTV on the farm.

Plowing Snow

We don’t get much here, but when it does snow it’s good to be prepared. Your UTV can be outfitted with a plow attachment so you can clear snow away from areas that larger vehicles can’t or shouldn’t reach.

Building Fences

Whether you have livestock and animals or just farm crops, fences are handy for dividing your property into more manageable areas. UTVs can easily haul all the tools, materials, and equipment you need to get started. Rear-mounted wire unrollers can even help set up wire fences faster, and a cargo bed or trailer with an auger is great for digging post holes.

Mowing Lawns

If you already have a lawn mower, this won’t be an issue—but if your lawn is in need of a trim and you want to cut down on the machines you store and maintain, UTVs have your back. A front-mounted mowing deck or pull-behind attachment can turn your UTV into the perfect lawn mower. Just remove the attachments and your UTV goes back to being the flexible multitool you bought.

Spreading Seeds

UTVs are, as a rule, much lighter than your average tractor. That’s pretty obvious, but what’s less obvious is how handy they can be for seed spreading. Hitch up an attachment and drive through your field, sewing seeds without compacting the soil more than you need to.

Catching Animals

If you’re tagging or vaccinating smaller animals like calves or sheep, a UTV attachment can help you catch them just long enough to get it done. This small enclosure has metal gates controlled from the comfort of the driver’s seat, letting you care for your livestock or animals without so much wrangling.

Plowing and Harrowing Fields

Hook up a chisel or disc plow to your UTV to make it the perfect plowing machine. You can cultivate your fields quickly and efficiently with this much more agile vehicle, and again you’ll be able to cut down on how many machines you use to get various jobs done. Disc and drag harrow attachments are also easy to find if they’re your preference.
