Golf Cart Great Around Farm
“Besides being quiet, it’s easy to get on and off, which saves time and effort when trying to get work done. I installed a 2-in. ball hitch on back to pull several trailers that I use. It can handle surprisingly heavy loads. Great for hauling gravel, picking up branches, towing the garbage down my 300-ft. driveway, and just plain getting around my property.
“I bought it used online at www.veseysequipment.com but there are many places to find used golf carts. We got an 8-year-old unit, with 1-year-old batteries, for $1,760. Using a Kill-A-Watt meter, I have calculated that my average cost to run the cart is less than a dollar a day.
“In the past I used my garden tractor to pull my trailers around but it was noisy, less comfortable, and climbing on and off was always a nuisance. And my garden tractor doesn’t have a topper to block the sun during the summer.”
