Off-road vehicles are versatile machines that are often associated with recreational fun. However, instead of hitting the trails with your four-wheeler, you can also use off-road vehicles for work. ATVs and UTVs can perform several functions on residential lawns, public property, and private grounds, especially with the addition of handy accessories. Whether you’re using your unit for work full time, for a part-time job on the weekends, or to care for your own yard in your free time, ATV Trader has provided nine ways to use ATVs and UTVs for landscaping and groundskeeping.
1. Hauling and TowingOff-road vehicles can get around terrain easier than a truck and are less likely to cause damage to the land. There are a variety of ATV and UTV models with large cargo beds and towing power that can improve production in any working environment. With your off-road vehicle, you can haul heavy loads of soil to a garden or tow materials needed to build a deck.
And you can haul more than cargo. Transport crew members to different worksite locations using UTV or even golf carts. Current full-size ATV models can tow between 500 and 1,650 pounds with a trailer, while a standard UTV can tow about 2,000 pounds.
Turn your ATV or UTV into a riding lawn mower by adding a pull-behind mowing attachment. These work well in wide grassy areas or lawns and fields with high grass and brush. Pull-behind mowers can often work faster and maneuver better than traditional lawn tractors.
3. RakingPull-behind rakes can be attached to your ATV or UTV. These tools allow you to finish grading and leveling lawn topsoil, sports fields, and more. With a wide reach, rake attachments can spread out ground coverings, mix compost or mulch into soil, and pull up roots and small rocks.
4. LiftingSave yourself from the back-breaking work of lifting heavy objects by utilizing a pallet lifter. These attachments are perfect for picking up planter pots, shrubs, and garden supplies and moving them across a property.
Achieve a lush lawn with an ATV and UTV aerator attachment. These tow behind your off-road vehicle, pulling plugs to break up compacted soil and letting grass roots get the air and water needed for healthier growth.
6. SpreadingSpread seed and fertilizer with an ATV and UTV tow-behind spreader. The spreader’s automatic shut off can even help reduce waste by regulating how much product is being distributed across the lawn.
7. SprayingSpray properties faster with an ATV and UTV sprayer. These can be mounted on the back of an off-road vehicle to cover much more land, compared to a traditional spraying backpack. Sprayers feature various tank sizes that you can fill with water, fertilizer, or pesticides.
8. PlowingIf you live in an area that gets a lot of snow, consider using a plow blade for snow removal. When attached to your four-wheeler or side-by-side, these can remove snow much faster than shoveling.
Plow blades can also be used to push dirt, gravel, and sand.
After a day of landscaping and groundskeeping, make the clean up process easy with a tow-behind sweeper attachment. High-speed brushes spin, allowing you to collect grass clippings, twigs, fallen leaves, and more faster than manual labor. Similar to sweepers, rotary brooms can be used to clean large, flat surfaces. Brush dust and debris off sidewalks and driveways to leave the property in pristine condition.
Using your ATV or UTV for groundskeeping and landscaping is a great alternative to big trucks or pieces of heavy machinery. With the addition of accessories, your off-road vehicle can help you accomplish any job, almost anywhere. Once the hard work is finished, you can plan how you’ll use your off-roader for fun.

Every year ATVs (or all-terrain vehicles, ATV) are becoming more and more popular in our country.
Interest in this light off-road vehicle is growing among both athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, which serves the rapid development of various areas of quadsports and quad tourism. As you know, demand creates supply, and a variety of ATVs flooded the market, differing in engine power, layout, drive system and a number of other parameters. How to navigate this variety "How to determine which model is best for your purposes, and which model is not suitable at all" In order for the choice to be made consciously, it is necessary, first of all, to determine what you need the ATV for. But the very first question that you need to answer yourself is the question of whether you are going to ride an ATV with a passenger. If you rule out riding together in principle, then you can choose both single and double models. Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The main advantages of single-seat models are "lighter weight, smaller turning radius and conditionally higher ground clearance (smaller wheelbase with equal ground clearance).
All this provides a slightly better ATV cross-country ability (first of all, geometric cross-country ability) in dense forests, streams and heavy swamps. That is why single-seat models are preferred by most athletes participating in trophy raids and other similar competitions.
The main advantages of two-seat models, regardless of the number of riders » more predictable handling and smoothness on uneven surfaces, greater ride comfort over bumps, cornering stability at speed, and increased rollover resistance (especially on mountain slopes, hills and ravines) . However, the main advantage of two-seater models is the ability to safely ride with a passenger and cargo, as well as with a larger load when driving an ATV without a passenger.
Many vendors now offer special conversion kits for converting single-seat ATVs to two-seat ATVs. You can also be offered the so-called "pseudo-double" or "one and a half" models. Let's figure out what it is, and how such options differ from really double models.
The 2-seat ATV Conversion Kit is a passenger seat with mounting hardware. This seat is installed behind the driver's seat. A "pseudo-two-seat" model is a single-seat model with an extended seat relatively large enough to accommodate two people, and sometimes additional passenger footrests and backrest. In both cases, the passenger seat is either located above the rear axle or is offset behind the rear axle. A true two-seat ATV model is structurally arranged in such a way that both the driver and the passenger, sitting in their regular places, are located in the base between the front and rear axles of the ATV. For such an arrangement of two people between the axles of the ATV, more space is required than for one person. Therefore, the wheelbase of two-seat models is longer compared to single-seat models. Consider why this is important and how important it is.
When the ATV is moving in a straight line at a constant speed on a level surface, all four wheels of the ATV are approximately evenly supported on the ground.
When accelerating the ATV, the front wheels are unloaded and the rear wheels are loaded in proportion to the acceleration. The torque transferred from the engine to the wheels tends to cause the ATV to roll backwards. If your passenger is "in the base" (in front of the rear axle), then the weight of his body works to counteract this tendency the more the passenger is further from the rear axle. At the same time, the greater its weight, the more effectively the tendency to overturn is neutralized. If the passenger is above the rear axle, then his weight is neutral to the tendency to overturn. If the passenger is behind the rear axle, then his weight increases the moment of forces, increasing the tendency to overturn the more, the greater the weight of the passenger, and the farther he is from the rear axle.
As soon as the ATV's front wheels start to lift off the ground, the position of your body and the passenger's body relative to the rear axle will shift. If both of you are in base, then you have more time to react and take corrective action before the ATV rollover becomes irreversible.
If at the moment of separation of the front wheels the passenger is above the rear axle, then the position of his body is immediately behind the rear axle, "working" on the tendency to overturn. If the passenger was initially behind the rear axle, then his weight initially increased the tendency to roll over, partially compensating for your weight acting against rollover. When the front wheels come off, the effect of your body weight against rollover is weakened (because the distance from its center of gravity to the rear axle is reduced), and the effect of the passenger's weight aimed at turning over the ATV will increase dramatically (because the distance from its center of gravity to the rear axle increases) . But so far we have considered only movement on a flat horizontal surface. If you are driving up a slope, your body position and the position of the passenger's body relative to the rear axle are already shifted back, which greatly exacerbates the tendency to overturn. In addition, any bump or other unevenness will sharply affect the front wheels, throwing the front of the ATV up, and rapidly increasing the tendency to overturn.
In real life, we rarely ride an ATV on a flat horizontal surface. Typically, riding is rough terrain with short or long slopes, potholes, bumps and other obstacles, which causes a whole combination of superimposed forces, so we constantly try to compensate for the tendency to roll over by changing the position of our body. But this requires freedom of movement of the body relative to the ATV. When riding a single-seat ATV with two people, this freedom is significantly limited due to the limited space between the axles of the front and rear wheels, which greatly hinders the timely corrective actions necessary to keep the ATV stable on uneven ground. And it’s almost impossible to jump off an overturning single-seat ATV in time when the two of you are on it.
Based on the foregoing, it is quite obvious that neither by lengthening the seat nor by installing an additional seat can a two-seater ATV be made from a single ATV. So why, in this case, such kits are sold "Why do some manufacturers of ATVs write in the characteristics of a single ATV that it is a two-seater or "one and a half seater"" After all, by doing this they mislead the consumer, exposing people's lives to serious danger! It is important to understand that the sociability and eloquence of the seller can change your attitude to the issue, but they cannot change the laws of physics!
And to distinguish a real two-seater ATV from various "pseudo" and "one and a half" is very simple: the length of the wheelbase of a real two-seater ATV cannot be less than 1440 mm , otherwise the passenger will inevitably be behind the projection of the rear axle.
Summing up all that has been said, we can say with confidence that riding an ATV together requires increased attention, special care and sufficient skills, both from the driver and the passenger. It must be clearly understood that riding a single ATV with a passenger - no matter how the seller presents it - one and a half seat, pseudo-double, or "for 1-2 people" - is complete recklessness.
All types of transport, except for special equipment, can be divided into two large groups: road and off-road. This applies to both cars and motorcycles. The difference between them is colossal, since some are created for movement on smooth asphalt roads, others are designed for operation in partial or complete off-road conditions with all the ensuing consequences.
ATV is considered to be a popular vehicle from the category of off-road vehicles today. Wet mud, sandstones, clay, bumps, potholes and all sorts of bumps are suitable conditions for riding an ATV. The growing demand for four-wheeled off-road motorcycles is due to increased cross-country ability, ease of use, fuel economy and relatively inexpensive maintenance.
An ATV is a four-wheeled vehicle belonging to the class of motor vehicles, designed to drive over rough terrain in conditions of partial or complete off-road, but can also ride on unpaved and asphalt roads. It has increased cross-country characteristics, is equipped with an engine with increased power and a predominantly automatic transmission (CVT), less often a manual one.
In Western countries, the abbreviation "ATV" is added to the name of the ATV, which stands for "All Terrain Vehicle" (vehicle for all types of surface) or SSV - "Side-by-side Vehicle" (which in the correct translation means "moving side by side").
The versatility of operation is one of the main principles underlying the concept of creating off-road vehicles, also referred to as all-terrain vehicles or snow and swamp vehicles.
The ATV can be ridden in the city, but the technical parameters, including the engine structure, independent suspension chassis and four large tread wheels, indicate that the ATV was originally designed for off-road riding. Therefore, buying such equipment for movement in the city is an idea devoid of meaning and logic. Unless we are talking about sports models designed to ride mainly on flat surfaces.
The technical design of all-terrain vehicles is standard and understandable to anyone who understands at least a little the internal structure of cars and motorcycles.
Both diesel and gasoline engines are installed on ATVs, depending on the area of \u200b\u200boperation of motor vehicles. 
Models designed for operation in difficult conditions have an independent suspension with hydraulics on each wheel. These are the main components of the ATV, on the basis of which the choice is made in favor of one or another model.
Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) is a Canadian company specializing in snowmobiles and ATVs.
In the history of the company, which began in 1942, attempts were made to launch the production of SUVs, but the main direction is the development of modern mobile vehicles designed for atypical operating conditions.
The popularity of BRP off-road equipment is explained by the following criteria:
The main difference between the company and other manufacturers is the desire to create more technologically advanced equipment that differs from others in appearance and technical parameters.
According to modern classification, ATVs are divided into types:
Each type has a number of unique characteristics, differs in parameters and is designed for different operating conditions.
Sports ATVs are very different from other types. The main emphasis is on engine power, independent suspension and chain drive. Designed sports ATV and SSV equipment for high-speed driving on paved, unpaved and other flat surfaces. Easily endures jumps and hard landings, picks up speed quickly, often equipped with a manual transmission.
Sports ATVs are in medium demand because they do not handle difficult terrain well and cannot overcome difficult obstacles such as wetlands, muddy ground, rock piles and large changes in surface level.
Utility ATVs are the most popular and common type of ATV. Differs in the increased indicators of passability, the big weight and wider operational possibilities.
It is often bought for fishing and hunting trips, for household needs (it can be equipped with a towbar and a winch), short-term trips over rough terrain. Powerful, reliable, durable. Considered universal. Usually equipped with an engine with a capacity of 500 to 1000 cc. see
Touring ATVs are designed for long trips and travel, so they are equipped with many useful options for comfort. Tourist SSV vehicles often have a roof and several passenger seats. These ATVs are larger in size, have an impressive trunk, these models are equipped with a standard car steering wheel.
Touring models are equipped with powerful engines, full drive and wide tires for better grip. They differ from other types of ATVs by a rather high cost.
The choice of ATV is a responsible task, since such equipment must be selected taking into account the expected operating conditions. There is a big difference between equipment for fishing or hunting and ATVs for sports or performing tricks.
Therefore, the choice should be made taking into account the areas of activity.
ATV for hunting, fishing and household needs.
For such activities, utility ATVs are more often purchased, which are distinguished by universal characteristics. Medium tank, four-wheel drive, diesel or gasoline engine with a capacity of 50 hp or more. (from 500 cc and above), load capacity - about 150 kg, wheel width from 170 mm, ground clearance - 10 cm. Suitable models: OUTLANDERMAX 570 DPS and OUTLANDER MAX 650. You can also pay attention to unique models with a six-wheel base: OUTLANDERMAX 6x6 650 or OUTLANDERMAX 6x6 1000.
ATV for high-speed riding on flat surfaces and rough terrain with small drops.
Will fit models with a gasoline engine with an injection from 800 cc. see above. Suitable models: RENEGADE 1000 RXXC or MAVERICK XRS TURBO.
ATV for tourists with a penchant for extreme hobbies.
Will fit models with the following parameters: gasoline engine with a displacement of 750 cc. cm, full cardan drive with independent suspension, liquid cooling, a large tank and a load capacity of 250 kg and more. Suitable models: MAVERICK TRAIL 800 DPS and MAVERICK SPORT MAX 1000 DPS.
Choosing ATV/SSV equipment for a beginner is a responsible process, because the first ATV should not disappoint the owner with either technical parameters or operating characteristics. It is better to choose from the “utility” category, since utility ATVs are more versatile and will help determine which style of driving is preferable.
ATV for beginners must have the following characteristics:
