UTV Uses

The humble utility vehicle or UTV may have a short history, but in the few decades it’s been around, it’s made some waves. Many different industries find UTVs to be indispensable in their work, from construction to logging to forestry and more. You can use utility vehicles as a form of transportation for yourself or for a crew of laborers, as a means of hauling cargo and trailers or as a recreational off-roading vehicle. Utility vehicles are truly versatile and make life a lot easier for many people.

Altus Motorsports is your southern Oklahoma utility vehicle dealer. Read on to learn more about some of the most common uses for UTVs that you might not have thought of before.

Driving Over Pavement

You might not know that you can drive your UTV on pavement! In many cases, there are upgrades available that make your utility vehicle street-legal so that it may be driven over pavement, tarmac and asphalt. This includes rural roads, side streets, factories, warehouses and airstrips.

Construction Work

Many people make use of utility vehicles on construction sites for a variety of reasons. Firstly, they are excellent for taking a work crew and all their tools exactly where they need to be without anyone having to trudge through the mud. Secondly, they are capable of hauling heavy payloads, so you can attach a trailer to your UTV and use it to haul away debris or dirt, or carry in materials like sand or gravel. Thirdly, you can even use some implements for your UTV so it can be used to perform certain construction tasks.

Hunting Transport

While you cannot hunt from your utility vehicle, you can certainly make use of it as a means of transport for getting to and from your hunting blinds. Rather than lugging your weapons, ammo and other gear by foot over difficult, uneven forest terrain, you can load everything into your utility vehicle and simply drive right where you need to be. And you can utilize a winch on the front of your UTV to drag your game out of a ditch to dress it, then load it onto the back of your utility vehicle to take it back to your truck.

Surveying Property

Own a large farm or acreage and need to keep tabs on it? Why wander across the grass in the hot sun when you can just hop in your utility vehicle and make your way around the perimeter of your land? You can use a UTV to locate a site for building a house or shed or simply use it as a means of patrolling your property to keep it safe. A UTV will also do much less damage to the ground than a typical truck would.

Farm Work

UTVs are infinitely useful on the farm. You can use them to haul bales of hay or bags of feed into the barn for your animals. A utility vehicle with a trailer can clear away manure and other debris. Add some attachments to your UTV and you can harrow, plow, sow seeds or fertilize your crops. Shave off some of the time it takes you to complete your daily tasks on your farm by using a UTV!
