Why You Should Get a Golf Cart For Your Farm

A lot of farm and ranch people think of golf carts as lightweight machines that are only good for being driven on well-maintained golf greens. Golf carts have evolved a lot over the years and now you can get one that’ll make both your recreational activities and work tasks even better. You can get a used one or a new one to add some functionality to your farming enterprise. At Dever Golf Car Sales we know that every machine on a farm must contribute in some way, and golf carts are no different. Here are some reasons why a golf cart might suit your needs on your farm or ranch. To check out some awesome golf carts and purchase or rent one, head to our locations in Lexington and Louisville, KY. 

Rest Your Legs

Keeping a farm or a ranch running smoothly isn’t an easy job. You usually have a lot of ground to cover, fences to mend and animals to look after. If you like walking or need the exercise, that’s fine. But for a number of people, walking from the house to the mailbox to the barn to the pasture can be slow and tiring. 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 farmers have started using golf carts to handle the lighter tasks for their gardens, nurseries and pastures. To get more from your cart, you can equip it with a lift kit and UTV tires. For lightweight tasks such as repairing fences and checking up on your animals, it’s better to get an electric golf cart. These are noiseless, require little to no maintenance and are now available with batteries that work 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

Golf carts aren’t very complex machines, especially the electric ones. With fewer parts than other vehicles, these machines need less upkeep and repairs. Some electric golf carts now offer 90 hours per charge. That’s a whole lot of utility and versatility on your farm. With electric golf carts you mostly have to remember to add water to the battery regularly. 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

Different farms and ranches have different terrain and various types of tasks that need to be tackled daily or weekly. You can’t afford to buy different machines for all the little tasks you need to tackle. 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. 

A golf cart can be a good investment if you know how to get the best out of it.
