1. Prepare Soil for Planting

Your soil may not be ready yet for your crops. If the ground is too firm, break up the soil by using a disc harrow or drag harrow ATV attachment. If you want assistance cultivating the fields, pair your quad with a disc plow or chisel plow.

2. Plant Your Crops

With a spreader attachment, your ATV can quickly and evenly distribute seeds over your fields. It can also efficiently distribute fertilizer to help promote plant growth.

3. Haul Supplies

Your ATV is a great resource for transporting cargo efficiently. Maybe you need to mend a fence at the far reaches of your property. Pack the tools and supplies in your ATV and cruise on over. Maybe you need to move heavy bags of fertilizer from storage out to the fields. Drive it over with ease using your ATV. These are a few of the many ways that your four-wheeler can make transporting supplies a breeze.

4. Quickly Reach Your Destination

The larger your land, the more distance you will need to cover throughout your workday. You could walk everywhere, but this gets exhausting. You could drive your truck everywhere, but you often don't need that much power and storage space to justify the gas you're burning. An ATV offers a convenient and fuel-efficient way to get to your destination in no time.

5. Feed Your Animals

When you take care of livestock, it can be exhausting getting all the feed to your animals. A great resource is using your ATV. Load up the storage space with the feed, then drive your quad into your barn for easy unloading.

6. Create and Maintain Roads

There are likely many paths and roads on your farm. Use your ATV to build them and keep them well-maintained. Use a front-mounted blade attachment on your quad to level dirt on uneven pathways or to smooth out gravel on driveways. Craft new roads and repair eroded ones with your four-wheeler.

7. Maintain Your Yard

Your ATV is a great alternative to a traditional mower. All you need is a mower deck or pull-behind mower attachment to trim up your lawn. You will want to consider purchasing lawn-friendly tires to ensure your ATV doesn't disturb your grass.

8. Build a Fence

The larger your fence, the more time-consuming and exhausting the project can become. That's where your ATV enters the picture. Load up all the supplies into your quad's storage space and easily cruise over to your destination. Then harness the power of a rear-mounted wire unroller to easily unwind the wire and craft your fence quickly.

9. Clear Away Debris

It's amazing how quickly debris can accumulate on your farm. All of the unwanted materials need to go somewhere. Use a rake attachment with your ATV to efficiently clear away leaves, brush, pine needles, and so on. Then load up your ATV with the collections and drive it to your burn pile or waste site.

Before you can use the above strategies, your ATV will need to be running well. If you encounter any performance issues, bring your four-wheeler to the service department at Lawton Motorsports.
