Choosing the right side-by-side can be a lot easier when you determine how you will be using the UTV, where you will be driving it, and who will be joining you for the ride. Fortunately, there are several Landmaster UTVs available, including two-wheel and four-wheel drive models, gas or electric, and seating accommodation for two people up to six. To choose the right Landmaster UTV, here are five things to consider.
1. How Will You Use Your Landmaster UTV?
The first step is to determine if you plan to use your UTV primarily for work or for play. If you plan on using your UTV for work, such as chores around the farm, cabin, or home, a Landmaster L4, L5, L7, L7 XL, AMP and AMP XL will help you get more done. For more aggressive terrains and heavier workloads, we recommend one of our 4x4 models such as the L4, L5, L7, or AMP. For flatter terrain and a lighter workload, the 4x2 models including the L3, L4, and AMP are great options. If you plan to use your UTV more for recreational activities like hunting, camping, overlanding, or trail-riding, we recommend any 4x4 Landmaster UTV.
2. Do You Need a 2-wheel or 4-wheel Drive Landmaster UTV?
Another determining factor is understanding the terrain type you will encounter while using your side-by-side. The sure-footed, lightweight, and affordable two-wheel drive models like the Landmaster L3 4x2 and the L4 4x2 are perfect for working around the cabin or riding on flatter, mostly dry terrain and trails. If true off-road capability is what you want, then a four-wheel drive Landmaster should be your choice. Landmaster models, including the L7 XL 4x4 or the AMP 4x4, will give you the extra traction you need to climb hills and traverse muddy terrain.
3. Do You Need a Gas or Electric Powered Landmaster UTV?
Landmaster UTVs have four gas-powered engine choices ranging from 277cc up to 627cc. A gas-powered side-by-side allows you to refuel quickly and is often the best choice when operating in remote locations. In addition, Landmaster has several rechargeable electric UTV models with max speeds of up to 30mph. An electric UTV is an excellent choice for farms, ranches, cabins, or city utility crews, where the UTV can be easily recharged at the end of each day. Smooth, quiet, and fume-free, they’re great for frequently starting and stopping jobs.
4. How Much Payload and Towing Capacity Does Your Landmaster UTV Need?
Whether you plan on primarily using your Landmaster side-by-side for work or recreation, having the right capability for the task is essential. Landmaster UTVs offer a towing capacity ranging from 1,100lbs up to 1,750lbs and a payload capacity from 400lbs found in the Landmaster L3 4x2 up to 1,000lbs available in the L7 XL 4x4.
5. How Many People Will be Riding in Your Landmaster UTV?
Landmaster offers UTVs that can comfortably accommodate two, four, and even six people. A standard Landmaster UTV such as the L3, L4, L5, L7, and the AMP each seat two adults, while Landmaster Crew models feature a second row of seating to accommodate four adults easily. If you need even more seating capacity, an optional Landmaster flip seat will carry six occupants when fitted to a Crew model.
