ATV and UTV are fun, smooth riding and hard working off-road vehicles that are growing in popularity, even in this economy.
They are being used in a variety of different areas, such as: farm, construction, landscaping, hunting, racing and general recreation activities.
The John Deere Gator is the most popular brand, but Polaris, Kawasaki, Kubota and others are giving them a run for their money.
When is an ATV the best choice and when is the UTV the best choice?
Here are the 6 important factors to consider:
The UTV is wider, more stable and safer than an ATV.
The ATV can turn sharper and is easier to manipulate through the woods.
It's easier and quicker to get on and off of an ATV.
The UTV is more functional. You can haul a lot of stuff in the truck-like beds and with accessories like snow plows, dump beds and others, it is for sure more functional and useful for getting work done.
The UTV is more comfortable with it's bench seat - especially for longer trips.
And one of the biggest factors to consider is that an ATV is less expensive than an UTV. Also, the basic UTV can be upgraded with heated cabs and a list of accessories that can really run the price up.
Bottom line: Let's face it, an ATV is less expensive and more fun to ride with it's saddle-style seating -- you are part of the machine rather than riding along on a bench seat as you are in an UTV. But the UTV is safer and you can do a lot more work with it.
