Best Side by Side for Farms What's the Best Side by Side for Farm Work? If you're looking for the best side-by-side for farms, the right vehicle depends on how you use your property, how much you need to carry and tow, how many people you need to transport and the terrain you regularly travel across. For Australian farmers, a utility side-by-side (UTV) can be an incredibly practical farm vehicle. Unlike a traditional passenger vehicle, a UTV is designed around carrying equipment, towing, accessing paddocks and getting into areas that can be difficult to reach with a conventional vehicle. For many Australian farming applications, the Can-Am Defender is one of the leading side-by-side options to consider. Looking for a farm UTV in NSW? Talk to Graham Betts Motors about the Can-Am Defender range. What Makes a Good Farm Side-by-Side? The best farm side-by-side isn't necessarily the fastest or most powerful. For farming, you should look at: 1. Towing capacity A good farm UTV needs to move trailers, feed, equipment and other loads around the property. 2. Payload and cargo space Consider what you'll regularly carry. Fencing supplies, tools, feed, chemicals, equipment and general farm gear can quickly add up. 3. Ground clearance If you're travelling across paddocks, creek crossings, rocky tracks and uneven ground, ground clearance becomes important. 4. Durability A farm vehicle needs to handle mud, dust, rain, rough terrain and long working days. 5. Comfort If you're spending several hours checking cattle or maintaining a large property, seating position, suspension and cabin comfort matter. 6. Accessories The best farm UTV can be configured around the work you actually do.
