Default Using ATV's for work

We use our 4-wheeler to plow the snow in the winter and also in the woods in the summer to drag trees out of the way. Do you use your ATV's for anything other than pleasure?

I do not, but I have seen a few people use them down here for mowing the lawn. I have also seen a few use them for hunting.

The contractor I work for uses them to run around on the jobs sites. That is how I wound up with the Polaris Ranger 6x6 I have, it was in the bone yard at the shop. It has been a great project for my daughter and I.

There could be many practical uses of the ATV aside from the pleasure it brings as an outdoor vehicle for sports and recreation. It could also be a great utility equipment.

My dad uses his to plow in the winter. He attaches a plow on the front with a winch and uses it. It's wonderful, sure beat a snow blower! Also seen them used in the woods too.

I don't have one now, but have heard that the local mosquito control uses them to spray in areas that are not accessible by roads. I've also seen company's use them to spray the weeds around the small ponds/lakes in the area.
