A UTV is the perfect equipment investment for large landowners and here are ten reasons why.
Large landowners need reliable equipment built to thrive in harsh environments, and a UTV is designed to go the distance all-day, every day. A UTV’s easy-to-operate nature is paired with powerful engines, large cargo capacities and an agile versatility larger vehicles simply can’t match. Here are ten reasons every large landowner needs a UTV for work and play.
1. SIMPLICITY
A UTV is engineered to be an easy to use do-it-all vehicle. Spacious cabs have low floor and seat heights to provide seamless vehicle entry/exit for occupants, while standard CVT drive systems are automatic and provide an intuitive operator feel with ultra-smooth acceleration and off-gas deceleration much like an automobile. Models equipped with Electronic Power Steering (EPS) keep the steering light, provide less terrain feedback and conserve operator energy.
2. FULL LINE OF CUSTOM ACCESSORIES
UTVs have a series of purpose-designed accessories waiting to help customize your vehicle for the type of work or play you’ll be doing. Choose from plows, windshields, roofs, gun scabbards, brush guards and more.
3. CARGO BED OPTIONS
When it comes to carrying, moving and hauling payloads and people around a large property, the cargo bed on a UTV is single-handedly one of the most utilized components. Evaluate your needs because there are several choices for cargo bed materials, construction and sizing. Most cargo beds are able to tilt and have a tailgate like a pickup truck for unloading gravel or brush. A poly bed is lightweight, easy to lift and rust-resistant. A steel bed can add more carrying space and capacity, and can even convert into a flatbed with removable sides. Other steel bed options transform easily into a passenger bench seat for transporting additional passengers.
4. TRACTION CHOICES
Depending on your duties, UTVs like Landmaster offer 4x2 or 4x4 options with a rear-locking differential. In general, a two-wheel drive UTV is highly-capable and can carry out most medium duty tasks. When the terrain and chores demand more, opt for four-wheel drive and the convenience of on-demand 4x4 – when engaged, once the rear wheels sense slippage, power is automatically sent to the front wheels to assist you through mud, snow or over logs and up steep inclines.
5. POWERFUL ENGINES
At the heart of every Landmaster UTV is a commercial-grade high-torque engine that’s as reliable, as it is capable, of handling the most demanding workloads. Choices of gas- or electric-power can provide a day full of starts and stops.
6. EASIER ON THE BUDGET
Owning large scale equipment can come with a large scale payment, but that’s generally not the case for UTVs. By comparison, retail pricing is a fraction of the cost of a skid loader or tractor, and attractive financing can net you the best UTV and accessories for tighter landowner budgets.
7. SIMPLIFIED SERVICE AND MAINTAINENANCE
Your time is better spent working and playing on your property versus worrying about fixing complicated machinery. That’s why UTVs are engineered to be easily maintained and serviced. Gaining access to air filters and oil changes are simplified for quick changeability and Landmaster engines use common parts found at local lawn and garden stores near you. Thanks to
weather-sealed, automotive-grade electrical systems and marine-grade plush bench seating, a Landmaster UTV can be easily cleaned with a power washer inside and out.
8. TOWING CAPACITY
When your loads demand more than the cargo bed can hold, turning to a trailer is a common landowner practice, and a UTV is an extremely capable puller. Landmaster’s largest workhorse (L7 XL) UTV has an impressive 1,750lb towing capacity to help you haul firewood or even tow brush mowers.
9. UNCOMPROMISED RIDE QUALITY
A UTV has a superior ride quality with maximum comfort, handling and ground clearance to traverse trail obstacles and off-camber terrain. Short wheelbases and tight turning radiuses help you access areas other large Off-Highway Vehicles can’t.
10. FUN
Fun is at the root of all the greatest attributes of owning a UTV. When the work is over, take time to go adventuring. North America has some of the greatest off-road trail systems in the world, and you’d be doing a disservice never leaving your property to explore them.
