I'm on the hunt for a small ATV or vehicle to help me tow items around my yard. I've got a pretty large space—almost 2 acres—and I'm tackling several landscaping projects. I currently use an autonomous mower, the Mammotiom Luba, which does a fantastic job of mowing, but it can't tow anything. I want something for hauling dirt, rocks, and other materials. I've considered options like John Deere Gators, but they're too pricey for my budget. What are some affordable alternatives out there?

If you're looking for something older, check out bikes like the Yamaha Banshee or any 250-400cc models from Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, or Suzuki from the 90s-2000s. They're great for moving stuff around and are way cheaper than new models.
Using a traditional ATV is a solid choice! I have one for my larger property and it can handle various trailers. I haul everything from gravel to tree remnants with mine. Just a heads up though, I’ve noticed that ATVs can dig into soft ground when turning, especially under heavy loads. Mine's been reliable since 2014 and has a decent amount of power at 570cc. It's worked well for me!
Have you thought about getting a golf cart? They're versatile for yard work, and you can easily add a hitch to pull a small trailer or other gear.
That's a cool idea! Golf carts might be a lot easier to handle in a yard. Thanks for the suggestion!
