By the end, you’ll understand everything that you need to know about attaching UTV accessories to your UTV.
What are UTV attachments?
UTV attachments come in a wide variety of forms. For example, if you’re someone who’s interested in playing music in your UTV, then you could get a sound bar or an amplifier . Or, you could get speakers , Bluetooth controllers , stereo packages and more. Because many UTVs don’t come with advanced stereo systems installed in them, adding attachments is way to upgrade your UTV, so that it’s customized to your needs and tastes.
Besides sound system upgrades, you can also add attachments that will ensure that you stay as a safe as possible, while riding. This could mean that you
install a phone mount
, so that you’ll always have a GPS ready to guide you, if you drive off course. This could also mean that you install a
fire extinguisher mount
, so that you’ll be prepared in case of a fire. There are other attachments that diminish the chance of your UTV flipping over.
Whatever safety attachment you choose, it will help ensure that you finish your ride, without any severe accidents.
There are also different types of
lighting mounts
. Because UTVs don’t come with the most advanced lights installed, you can add your own spotlights,
headlights
, and more. These attachments will help you see, when driving in the dark.
Now that we’ve been over a short list of the different UTV attachments that are available to you, we can discuss what you need to know, before you attach
UTV accessories
to your UTV. Let’s get into it.
Things to consider when you're putting attachments on your UTV
1. Think about the weight
You’ve got to consider the weight of whatever attachment that you’re adding to your UTV. For example, if you add an attachment that’s extremely heavy, then you’re not going to be able to successfully ride your vehicle, without any problems. Sure, you want to have a great attachment on your UTV, but if you add a plow to the back, for example, you want to ensure that you can still move. Figure out how much weight your UTV can haul, before you start buying attachments.
2. Understand That Attachments Can Affect the Mobility of Your UTV
Sometimes, a UTV attachment can hinder the mobility of your UTV, if you’re riding in certain conditions. Let’s say you’ve got a cumbersome attachment, that will help you when you’re doing work on the farm. Well, you’re not going to want to use this attachment when you’re racing on your UTV, because if you do, then you’re not going to be able to perform well. Just keep in mind that if you purchase a large attachment, you’re going to hinder your UTV’s mobility. So, you’ve got to ensure that you’re able to store away your large attachment, when you don’t need to use it. Also, ensure that you’re able to take the attachment off, easily. If you have a place to safely store your attachment, you should be good. But if you don’t have a proper shed or garage, you could run into trouble.
3. Think About If the Attachment Is Usable
Sure, there are plenty of fun attachments out there, that are tempting to purchase. However, before you purchase an attachment, think about how much use you’re really going to get out of it. You can splurge on a variety of fun attachments, but if it sits in the shop all year, then maybe you shouldn’t have added it to your collection of attachments. We don’t want to deter you from buying attachments, of course, but you don’t have to buy every attachment out there.
4. How Much You Will Have to Maintenance Your Attachment
Different people want to put a different amount of effort into maintaining their UTV. If you’re someone who isn’t concerned with fixing your UTV, then this point might not matter as much to you. However, if you’re someone who is not interested in having to service your UTV as much, then you might want to pay more attention to this point. Some attachments wear out more easily than other attachments, so if you’re purchasing certain attachments, you might have to put some labor into maintaining them. It’s just a good habit to understand how much maintenance is going to be required for each attachment that you buy. Plus, you should consider how much it is going to cost, to maintain each attachment that you purchase.
