Anyone use a golf cart for transportation or hauling things around the trails on their land? I've heard of 1 guy that does it, and he seemed to like it. Of course snow would be a problem. They are quiet, cleaner, & probably less expensive than a utv. They probably require some special tires. I don't know if people raise them or if there's a way to buy 1 with a higher ride. Some even come more like a utility cart, as one can then more easily haul stuff. Now that I have a DR mower to keep up our trails, I can see some advantages to a golf cart instead of walking long distances while carrying tools, etc...so long as a person has the right golf cart. Generally I like the excercise but there'd be times a cart would be nice.

Yes still got it. EZ GO raised 4". and agressive tires. It sits around a lot since I got the mule. It will do amazing things for a golf cart. I use it for pulling the grass catcher around the yard. The kids love driving it around. just Check out buggiesunlimited.com

A rich customer has one for his wife. It's how she "walks" the dog; puts it on one of those retractable leashes, plops her butt in the cart and off they go all around the property. They've had it for at least fifteen years.
Eh...wot?

Just don't get the electric ones..they are very heavy and you have to disconnect the batteries or hook em into maintenance charger as they like to go bad if you don't use it for long periods of time.

Here's my 2 cents I was a mechanic at a resort with 4 golf courses for 10 years. Buy a gas powered EZGO Put better tires on it. Have someone install a Gboost tech cultch/belt kit in it - Glen has been racing for years, and when he got into golf carts he used our work carts to test on. https://www.gboosttechnology.com/

Use to. Before everyonr had ACT's we had Harley golf carts. Nothing could stop them it seemed like. They're the original UTV About 25 years ago we had a nice 3 wheeled Harley golf cart. That thing was awesome. 3 wheeled might not be ideal, but I could use that beast now. That back end was set up much different than todays golf carts...much more practical for hauling things. It seemed to have more power than todays golf carts.

How many acres do you have? Fairly level or steep terrain? I prefer the electric carts because of how quiet they are. I have one that is lifted with aggressive tires, high torque low speed motor and it is a beast. I can spray green fields, put my boat in the water, load deer on the back, etc. Most electric motors are designed to run at higher speeds and tend to overheat and shut down when used at slow speeds and heavy use...such as spraying fields. That’s why I started upgrading to the high amp controller and low speed high torque motor for my purposes. My batteries last about 5 years. You need to check the water levels monthly. If you have over 250-300 acres and steep terrain electric is probably not your best bet.

But I've been working on building some nice trails.
