Using ATV in Indian farm


ATV can be used for both work & recreation,. For partially handicapped person like me, it helps to get around the farm and also carry the essentials along.



I got carrier and trailer fabricated locally as this particular model is designed just for rides in Western countries as most farmers over there use bigger models, 250 cc and above.

I am able to carry about 35 to 40 kg in the carrier around the farm, even while climbing uphill. The trailer has handled about 100 kg so far. The limitation is because of the light weight, the rear wheels of ATV do not hold on to the ground to carry heavier loads.


I had to opt to four wheel trailer as the hitching point in ATV is not very strong and is not designed for that. The front wheels of the trailer are equipped with steering system, that is a exceptional in rural India.

I have outlined the import procedure in http://atvindia.blogspot.com/2008/09/import-procedure-for-my-atv.html.

It sure takes lot of effort to pick right supplier in China as quality varies a lot. http://atvindia.blogspot.com/2009/05/t-v-manufacture-in-china.html

Good luck
