How to Select a Well-Built UTV

Published on May 18, 2020

Utility vehicles (UTVs) are a popular means of transportation, whether it’s on a jobsite or an acreage. UTVs get you where you need to go more efficiently and comfortably than other forms of transportation. Selecting a well-built, dependable utility vehicle is the best way to ensure that it will provide you with years of service. So before you buy, take a look at the key things to consider when selecting the best UTV for your work.

Easy Access to UTV Maintenance Areas

When you compare models, confirm that routine UTV maintenance items can be easily accessed in one of three ways: through the driver’s side access panel, the passenger’s side access panel or by raising the cargo box.

Bobcat utility vehicles are designed to make maintenance faster and more convenient. With fewer grease points and easier access to coolant, air, oil and fuel filters, you can reduce time spent servicing your UTV.

On some UTV models, the seats flip forward for easy access to the oil fill, oil check, battery and alternator. Other components may be accessible by lifting the hood.
