ATVs - The brand new Yard Tractor?

ATVs - The brand new Yard Tractor?

ATVs have gone from being just an all-terrain toy to doing double as well as quadruple duty as sets from a mower to a forklift to a snowplow to a grader. Just check out the Swisher Mower products to find out what I'm talking about. Swisher's QuickSwitch� Program and accessories has created it less difficult than ever before. The fact is, Swisher's QuickSwitch� System was awarded ATV Magazine's 2008 Product Innovation Award.

The FT1150 Mower may either be applied in front of your ATV or being a trail-behind mower with all the optional 5148 Wheel/Hitch kit. It features a more-than-generous 50" cutting width with three boron alloy steel blades. The ball bearing caster wheels, the 1.5" to 4.5" height adjustment and the 11 HP Briggs & Stratton I/C engine you could make your mowing chores so much easier and quicker; the different options are more time playing on your own ATV.

The Swisher 2644 Forklift utilizes the QuickSwitch System to allow installation and removing the attachment in seconds, with no tools. The 1.75" steel, welded, square tube forks comes in handy for just about any number of uses about the farm or construction site and may even be shortened to fit your load and then for storage. Your ATV winch does the lifting!

The 50" multi-purpose plow may also be removed and installed in seconds with the QuickSwitch Program. Making quick work of gravel, dirt and snow, the plow has an 18"-24" height clearance depending upon your ATV and tire size. The plow angle may be adjusted easily when seated as well as the unique dual-locking position holds the plow where you set it. The plow can be utilized with your own winch or with all the optional Model 2828 manual lift.


The 15714 Dump Bucket also uses the QuickSwitch Method for installation and removal without needing tools. The 44" wide bucket makes quick work of dirt, gravel, mulch and snow. The bucket is made of 1/8" heavy-duty steel and has an 18" to 24" lift height dependant on your ATV as well as the tire size. Your ATV winch supplies the lifting power while the bucket is easily dumped using a quick-release lever within easy reach.

The Box Scraper with Scarifier Teeth is ideal for back-filling, grading and leveling large areas around the farm or construction site. The 48" wide box is created specifically to match the entire width on most ATVs and is made of heavy-duty, 10-gauge steel with six individual teeth that may be easily removed when not in use. Your ATV winch can be utilized on the front or even the rear using this unit and you will order the box with or without the scarifier teeth.

The Grader Blade, model 13495, by Swisher provides you with a way to scrape and level yards and driveways. The 14-gauge steel constructed blade can be angled into 5 different positions for maneuverability as well as the 48" inch width makes short work of big jobs. Your ATV winch may be used on the front or rear or else you can also buy a winch through the Swisher company.

As well as the list continues on and on! You can buy Trailmowers, Trailcutters. Spreaders, Dump Carts and Baskets, Quadivator or the Quad Hyper-Cut�, a Steel Roller, Spike Aerator, Acreage Rake, Tru-Plow, Drag Harrow, Storage and Transport Baskets, Cargo Boxes, Snow Thrower and Molded Cargo Baskets. Add ATV tire chains to supply extra traction on snow or ice.

Heaven is almost the limit as to the you can use your ATV for. Actually, if you don't already own one, only the multi-use potential might be justification to buy one, instead of buying a ride-on mower or lawn tractor that may only perform a fraction of what your accessorized ATV can perform.
