| I don't have one so can't comment firsthand, but our elderly Minnesota neighbor couldn't have farmed without one. She'd climb aboard her 4-wheeler, packing her cane, and zip around her 600-acre farm doing whatever needed done. She had beef cattle, hayed, and kept a large herd of draft horses and donkeys. I understand she's finally semiretired but still gets around the farm on her four-wheeler. So, I'd say that in many instances they are truly essential equipment! Sue

We would love to hear what you think!! We've had one for only two weeks so far, and use it for all of the above, except using attachments. Bought one attachment, and will get two more soon, but haven't used any YET. :) It makes quick work of checking stock and pastures, and goes places that our truck doesn't go as quickly or easily.
Dream Big.

| We don't have a ATV but a UTV. We use it to keep up with the livestock, transport feed, mineral blocks and other small loads.

Believe it or not, I don't have one. I have thought about getting one, but instead I walk. On some days...like Sunday when I went scouting for wood, and then ended up doing beeline stuff, I walked miles, but I'm not overweight!
Everyday I have to go up and round my free ranging sheep on a very big pasture located about 1/2 a mile from the house. Up and back that is a mile hike, but I have come to enjoy it. Even when its pouring down rain, its just one of those simple acts that gets you in the pasture "with the girls" (my ewes) and its more relaxing then pushing handlebars or listening to a screaming engine.
I will say however, I do a fair amount of snowmobiling in the winter. I do use that to drive around the pastures making paths for the sheep to walk on rather then have them wade through the deep snow.

Tell a welfare recipient they must work and they call their congressman. Tell a farmer he can no longer work and he commits suicide. No wonder 1/2% of the population feeds the other 99-1/2%!!

the reason we got one was because as my grandfather grew older, equipment proved to be more than he could handle. We never wanted one before he was 85.
At the time ATV's were seen as kid toys on farms. It looked like all they were good for was race'n around and getting cows. however once we found that it was a little more enjoyable to go places with supplies without a whole tractor & wagon, it became a habit to use it.
