ATVs –
Essential on
today’s farms
The best farm vehicles need to be
reliable and practical. The quad bike,
ATV (all-terrain vehicle) and UTV
(utility task vehicle) tick these boxes
and are also versatile and compact.
» » SO IT IS NO WONDER THAT
quad bikes are now in regular
use on farms and estates of all
sizes as well as for contracting
work. There are numerous
attachments that allow the
quad to do everything from
carrying a couple of dogs to
topping paddocks, spraying,
towing, feeding and more.
Their physical impact is low,
they don’t take up much space
in the barn, use little fuel and
are easy to drive.
There is, however, no real
protection from the weather
on a quad. They can also be
dangerous if driven poorly
and can tip over and injure or
kill the operator. So training
– and sensible driving - are
essential. Also, their payload
is nowhere near that of a UTV
and the addition of a trailer
can be cumbersome in terms
of manoeuvrability in some
areas.
Unfortunately, and not
surprisingly, quads are high on
the list for thieves – so good
security is something else to
be aware of.
Generally speaking, a farm
cannot replace a 4×4 entirely,
but a good combination would
seem to be a 4×4 or pick-
up; a quad bike and a utility
vehicle.
