A utility tractor is a highly versatile piece of equipment. Sure, it can take on standard tractor tasks. But that's only the beginning! Utility tractors can handle many different projects, especially if they are equipped with attachments. We've gathered up our favorite ways to creatively use a utility tractor below. If you want more suggestions or want to explore utility tractors for sale, head over to Prairieland Partners. Our dealership proudly serves those throughout Kansas.

## 1. Mow Your Lawn

You need some way to whip your unruly lawn into shape. Attach a drive-over mowing deck to your utility tractor and you'll be able to conquer this chore in no time. Using your utility tractor is especially beneficial if your lawn is full of slopes or other obstacles that a typical lawn mower would struggle to handle.

## 2. Wrangle Thick Grass and Weeds

Maybe you need to clear away your hunting grounds to improve your visibility. Maybe you want to take a layer off your backwoods overgrowth to make it look better. There are many cases where difficult grass needs to be trimmed, which is usually a task that the average lawn mower cannot handle. Your utility tractor, paired with a drive-over mowing deck, will be able to handle thick growth without missing a beat.

## 3. Help Plants Grow

Tough, hardened soil can hold crops and flowers back from optimal growth. Add an aerator attachment to your utility tractor to easily break up the soil. This will make it easier for air, water, and essential nutrients to reach your plant's roots, which helps them to grow to their full potential. While you are at it, use a sprayer to distribute fertilizer over your crops.

Another barrier to plant growth is weeds choking them out. Put a sprayer on your utility tractor and you'll be able to efficiently distribute weed killer.

## 4. Carry Hay to Livestock

You need some way to transport hay to your animals. You may be able to use your pickup truck or other large vehicle, but it likely won't fit inside the barn. A utility tractor can transport hay inside the barn, reducing the distance you'll need to carry the heavy hay bales by hand.

## 5. Transform Wood

Wood is a valuable resource that can be used in many ways, but you need some way to modify it. That's where a wood chipper and your utility tractor come in handy. Turn large chunks of wood into easily transformable pieces. Use the wood chunks as indoor decoration, bringing the beauty of nature inside. Stock up your wood pile for winter when you'll be burning fires to keep warm. Set the wood pieces strategically to mark pathways around your property. A wood chipper helps you whip the wood into the shape you need for your wood-related projects.

## 6. Level Out Materials

Once you get materials delivered to your project site, you'll need some way to get the material leveled out. Use a box blade with your utility tractor to smooth out gravel, dirt, and more. It's easy to create driveways, gardens, and more with a utility tractor by your side.
