Using A UTV On Your Farm

There are any number of machines and vehicles that make farm work easier, faster, and more efficient, and UTVs are no exception. These compact powerhouses have a number of uses on your farm that can help you keep things efficient, clean, and tidy. We here at Southern Trailer Works want to help you make the most of your work day, so we’ve put together some of the ways you can use a UTV on your farm.

Plow Snow

It’s unlikely to snow at this point in the year, but this is just one example of how a UTV can be useful year-round. A plow attachment can turn your UTV into an effective snow plow that can reach places a car or truck couldn’t. 

Fence Building

Whether you’re corralling or just setting up a handy division, a UTV can get you where you need to go quickly while carrying all your tools, materials, and equipment with you. A rear-mounted wire unroller can help you get wire fences set up faster, and a cargo bed or small trailer can hold an auger to help you dig holes for posts.

Lawn Mowing

If your farm includes a lot of landscape that you need to keep tidy, a UTV is the tool for you. A front-mounted mowing deck or pull-behind mower attachment can turn this multitool into the perfect way to cut grass. There are even some models that are oriented towards landscaping, if you’re only using it for those tasks.

Seed Spreading

UTVs are much lighter than the average tractor, making them great for spreading seed without compacting the soil. A seed-spreader attachment can be hitched up to the rear easily. The same attachment can also help you spread fertilizer or sand!

Catch Calves

If you’re tagging or vaccinating calves, there’s a special attachment for UTVs that can “catch” them just long enough to tag them or give them the shot. The enclosure has metal gates that you control from the driver’s seat, allowing you to care for your cattle with much less wrangling.

Plow Or Harrow Fields

You can even hook up a chisel or disc plow to the rear of a UTV for plowing! This allows you to cultivate your fields quickly and maneuver more efficiently. Disc and drag harrow attachments are also available.

Whatever the task, whatever the job, chances are a UTV can help you get it done! If you have any questions, or you’re ready to browse our inventory of UTVs, contact us at Southern Trailer Works. We proudly serve the people of Thibodaux and New Orleans, Louisiana—let us serve you today!
