An off road buggy is a multi-purpose vehicle built for driving over all kinds of terrain, such as mud, gravel and sand, without losing traction. Ideal for getting from point A to point B quickly on rural and large properties, these vehicles are often capable of carrying up to 500kg and can easily scale hills with steep inclines.
Powerful for their size, off road buggies host engines ranging up to 50 HP. They're great for travelling to places fast, even while hauling cargo. You'll find most buggies have 4 wheels with suspension, 2 seats and a cargo tray. However, there are variants available, such as buggies with 6 wheels for added stability.
These vehicles have an average capacity of 400kg but some can carry as much as 500kg without towing any additional items. These cargo trays are often powered by hydraulics to make dropping off items or material, like dirt or gravel, easier. Most buggies are supported by some form of suspension such as A-Arms independent suspension, stabilising the vehicle and making for smoother trips.
For those larger loads, you'll want to opt for an off-road buggy with a larger towing capacity. While many can tow 400kg, some buggies are capable of towing up to 700kg. This ensures you can get those hay bales where they need to go.
Some buggies come with tracks instead of wheels for easier travel over terrain such as sleek, sand and gravel. They are also ideal for driving over more sensitive surfaces like prepped soils as tracks have less ground disturbance, thanks to their more even weight distribution. Other variants offer 4 seats if you're working with a team or a family.
Often described as utility vehicles, there are usually a number of attachments available to add versatility to the off road buggy. By attaching different accessories the vehicle can be stronger, safer and more convenient in certain areas like farms, commercial property maintenance, backyard and general jobs. Some of these attachments include winches, utility cart/trailers that help get material to hard-to-reach locations, front guards for increased durability, data displaying devices for logistical tracking and additional lights which ensures greater visibility.
The off road buggy is for anyone needing to get from point A to point B on their farm, areas with rough terrain and hills, or large commercial properties. The off road buggy will go where no other vehicle can.
