Even a small hobby farm can benefit from having a work ATV on hand and ready to go. There are a ton of different ATVs out there, and you can do a lot with them. 

Transporting Supplies

Having a work ATV can help you get around your land more quickly. You can also load supplies onto an ATV.

Plowing Fields with a Work ATV

While your ATV won’t be able to replace your tractor, it can do a lot of the same jobs. If you have a small field that is difficult to reach an ATV can even plow it for you. You will have to buy a plow built for use by ATVs. 

Gardens are another easily plowed area. Using an ATV to do so will prevent you from having to plow your garden by hand. If you have a large garden this can save you tons of time and effort. 

Wrangling Animals

If you have animals on your farm you know they can sometimes get away from you. Finding calves after a cow gives birth in a pasture can take a lot of time and effort. Using an ATV can help you quickly locate any new additions to your herd. 

Having a work ATV can help you chase down animals that have escaped your pasture. Fences sometimes don’t work as well as we would like. Animals will get out and having an ATV can help you get to them before they wander onto a highway or cause any damage.

You won’t need to dedicate the space for storing a lawnmower. The mowing attachment for your ATV doesn’t take up a lot of space. This will also save you from having to do maintenance on your mower.

Touring a fence line is very important. Finding weaknesses in your fence that an animal may escape from protects you from liability and headache. Using a work ATV to do this makes the task quick and even fun. 

Not only can you cruise around your land checking the fence you can easily bring all your tools with you. Carrying fence posts is no problem for an ATV. With an ATV you can locate and deal with a problem at the same time. 

Snowplowing

If you live in a northern state, you have to deal with snow. Snow can make it difficult to move around on your land and to get out. Many driveways can become impassable due to heavy snow and ice accumulation. 

Having a work ATV makes it much easier to deal with snow and ice. 

ATVs can double as a snowplow and also use blower attachments. This removes the need to purchase an expensive piece of equipment. All of this saves you money and allows you to put your money where you need it. 

Raking Debris out of Your Field

There are several attachments made for your work ATV that can help you clear debris. Depending on the size of the debris and the job at hand your ATV can quickly clear a field. Using a work ATV to rake up branches and other debris will make your job much easier. 

Due to the smaller size of an ATV, you can get almost everywhere. The attachments will also have tines that are more closely together, so you won’t miss as much. Not missing debris will help you avoid costly repair bills later.
