The Many Uses of UTVs
UTVs are incredibly versatile powersports vehicles, which have the potential to be used in many different ways. They can tackle everything from challenging trails to difficult work projects. Whether you’re a homeowner or a professional with a lot of property to manage, a UTV can make life a lot easier.

We are your premier side-by-side dealer located in Tracy, California, and we serve all those in Stockton.
Transportation
One of the most basic ways you can use your UTV is to get from one place to another in off-road riding areas. This can be handy when it comes to accessing hard-to-reach places where a larger vehicle normally can’t go, either because the terrain is too rough or the access points are too narrow. Plus, a side-by-side can help you get there a lot faster without wasting time going on foot. If you've got a big property and some work to do, a UTV can be really helpful.
Construction Work
Many people use UTVs on construction sites as they are excellent for transporting a work crew and all their tools to exactly where they need to be without anyone having to walk in the mud. These machines are also capable of hauling heavy payloads, so you can attach a trailer to your side-by-side and use it to haul away debris, or carry materials like sand or gravel. You can even use some attachments with your UTV so it can be used to perform certain construction tasks.
Hunting
Some owners use their side-by-side for hunting trips. A UTV can easily push over challenging terrain and get to the best spots where you can wait for your prey. There’s a large amount of storage space so you can fit in all your weapons and gear, and of course, the trophy. You can even take some friends with you since you’ll have plenty of room for everyone.
Livestock
Feeding animals can be quite a task, but a UTV certainly makes it easier. Because they are more compact than a pickup, it’s easier to get them inside a building near your food source where a truck or trailer might not be able to go. Load a bale of hay or some bags of feed into your UTV and drive it to your feeding stations.
Fencing
A UTV is useful for fencing projects because it can carry all the supplies and tools you need and power nimbly over fields and hills. If you plan to build wire fencing, anchor the spool to the rear of the vehicle and drive slowly to unroll it before you fix it into position.
Landscaping
Those who work in landscaping know how hard it can be to get all their tools to where they need to be, especially when working on a large piece of property. A UTV allows you to easily transport soil, gravel, sand, saplings, bushes, and paving stones in a trailer hitched up to it. You can also put all your tools in the cargo space to drive across a lawn. You can even attach a mower deck to your side-by-side and use it as a riding lawn mower.
Snow Plowing
UTVs are great for helping you plow your fields, and they're equally useful for plowing snow in the winter. All you have to do is outfit your UTV with a snowplow attachment. A side-by-side has the power you need to plow deep snow without straining your engine. You can also maneuver it into tight corners to clear away snow from spots that can’t be accessed by a pickup truck.
Recreational Riding
Of course, UTVs are a great option for recreational riding, too. The durability of these vehicles makes them a good fit for tackling difficult trails and riding all day long. Bring along friends and family on the trip and give them the ride of their life!
Whether you’re hard at work on your farm, ranch, or construction site, or spending hours off-roading on the weekend, you can always count on UTVs to help you make the most of every riding experience.
