UTVs, also known as side-by-sides, are sturdy, dependable, and versatile vehicles that are perfect for both work and recreation. Although many people think their UTVs are only for trail riding and hauling equipment and supplies at worksites, they need to learn there are various unconventional ways to use these vehicles. If you have recently purchased a UTV and are searching for ways to make the most of your investment, we have you covered.

Crownstone Equipment is your local equipment dealer, and we have gathered a few ideas for how to use your UTV. Keep reading this guide to learn more, and for more information, contact our dealership today.

1. To Plow Snow

During winter, you can use your UTV to clear snow on your driveway, yard, or sidewalks quickly and safely. Remember to set up your plow blade correctly and remove snow from wherever you want. This will ensure you don’t damage your side-by-side or the area from where you are removing snow and keep your property clean and tidy.

2. To Harrow Your Fields

Another unconventional use of a UTV, especially on a farm or ranch, is harrowing.

Use the correct harrowing tools—a disc or drag attachment—and make the most of your vehicle’s high hauling capacity to prepare your fields for planting seeds. The sturdy wheels of your machine can conveniently drive through rough terrain and help you cover more ground in less time.

3. To Maintain Your Yard

UTVs are extremely useful for lawn and garden care chores, especially the larger yards. All you will need to do is outfit your vehicle with the correct implements, and you can cut grass, grade & level soil, spread out mulch, and move dirt and debris to a dump site. This way, you can use your fast, agile, and efficient UTV as a better option than a traditional lawn tractor.
