Golf Cart Uses For Farmers

You may think that golf carts are lightweight machines that are only good for taking golfers from one hole to another on well-maintained golf greens, but that’s far from the truth. These vehicles have changed a lot since their beginning and are now being used by many to make their recreational and work tasks easier. Another growing usage for golf carts is on farms and ranches.

Rest Your Legs

When you have to keep a farm or ranch running, there are a lot of things on your plate. That involves a lot of ground to cover, fences to mend and animals to take care of. If you like to walk a lot or need the exercise, you can walk for all your chores. For a lot of people, however, walking from the house to the pasture to the barn to the mailbox can get tiring and time-consuming. A golf cart is a real blessing when you have lots of land you need to look after. Not only is it less hassle, it’s also relatively easy for anyone to learn to drive a golf cart.

Tackle Lightweight Tasks

Many landowners have turned to golf carts to help them handle the lighter tasks for their gardens, nurseries and pastures. If you want your cart to handle more tasks, equip it with a lift kit and UTV tires. If you have lightweight tasks (such as repairing fences and just checking up on your animals), an electric golf cart might serve you better. They’re noiseless, require minimal maintenance and now come with batteries that can keep going for hours on end. All you need is to plug it into a standard outlet at night, otherwise you’ll have to delay powering it up while it charges in the morning.

Less Hassle

A golf cart isn’t a very complex vehicle, especially if it’s an electric model.  They have fewer parts than most other vehicles, which means they need less upkeep and repairs. Newer electric golf carts now come with 90 hours per charge, providing non-stop movement and utility for farm chores. Your basic regular task with electric models is remembering to add water to the battery. Gas golf carts are faster and sturdier and will suit some of your heavier tasks. That said, even they are less hassle than other vehicle options.

Customizable

There are farms and ranches across the country of different sizes, different terrain and different types of tasks that have to be handled daily. You can’t really buy a different machine for all the different things you have to do. Golf carts are easy to customize according to your needs. To start with, you can use a lift kit on your cart to raise its ground clearance level. This will allow you to take your golf cart on uneven and obstacle-ridden terrain. Larger tires will make your ride smoother while a rain cover will protect you and your cargo during a downpour.

You can put your golf cart to good use on a farm with a little bit of know-how.
