Why Choose an ATV or SSV for Farm Work?

• Transporting Supplies Around the Property - Between trailers, racks, and beds, off-road vehicles have plenty of options for carrying loads and are a huge time and fuel saver by allowing you to move around the farm quickly and efficiently. A large off-road vehicle can easily carry hundreds of pounds of supplies day after day and simplifies an enormous amount of hauling jobs around the farm.
• Plowing Farmland - By adding a chisel or disc plow attachment to the back of a capable off-road vehicle, your ATV or side-by-side becomes a miniature tractor. When a larger piece of machinery is either too large to fit in a space, or simply overkill, this mini tractor setup can be a handy tool for both crops and landscaping.
• And Much, Much More! - ATVs and SSVs are like a Swiss Army knife, with accessories and add-ons their potential is endless!

Which is the Best for Farm Work?

• Cargo and Hauling Capacity - When it comes to ATV vs SSV on the farm, the Side-by-Side has the upper hand! While quad models such as the Can-Am Outlander offer outstanding storage with multifunction LinQ accessory system, Side-by-Sides have that much more space with their cargo bed, under-seat alcoves and other nooks and crannies. The cargo box on a Can-Am Defender PICK UP PRO measures 391.5 x 162.5 x 198.1cm and will hold up to 1,134 kg. And that’s just the box! It also has a 365 litre storage capacity, with dash, under-dash and lower-box storage as well as a removable water-resistant toolbox, giving you the versatility to carry a range of supplies.

• Size and Maneuverability - While SSV wins in storage, ATVs rule in navigating through dense wood and tighter spaces. An ATV can also fit in the bed of a truck making it easily transportable and suitable for smaller storage spaces.
• Passengers - If passengers are a part of your daily team on the farm, a Side-by-Side like the Can-Am Defender can sit three adults, with the MAX seating up to six. ATVs on the other hand seat up to two adults.
• Days Off - There’s one thing the ATVs and SSVs have in common in addition to loading all the farm work and that’s the versatility for fun on trails! The Can-Am Defender SSV and Can-Am Outlander ATV are some of the many popular vehicles for farmers looking for something that’s both a utility and recreational vehicle.
• Engine - The powerful and proven Rotax engine lineup makes Can-Am’s ATVs and SSVs dependable companions for farmers. Hardworking Rotax HD10, HD8 and HD5 engines are the perfect mix of fun and function for the Can-Am Defender family, and class-leading Rotax V-Twin engines with 91 hp (1000R), 78 hp (850) and 62 hp (650) make Can-Am Outlander ATVs an agricultural work beast.
