Out with ATV's and in with UV's-Megan Mullet


Many of us grew up on farms with ATV's or 4-wheelers and those of us that didn't always wanted one! I know that I asked for one for Christmas every year (and never got one)! Now many farms are going to Utility Vehicles. These vehicles were once labeled as "glorified golf carts," but they are now taking over many farms. They are very much like a pick up, except smaller and usually very fuel efficient (or ran on electric). These vehicles typically have beds that common ATV's do not. It is easier for the older generations to hop into an UV, than it is to sling a leg over an ATV. These vehicles are capable of pulling heavy loads and many companies even offer full cabs that can have AC or heat depending on the weather. In the next decade these vehicles will over take ATV's in many agriculture settings because they are becoming easier to use and just as versatile as an ATV.
