You want to look at a few things before buying your equipment. One of the first things to consider is the capabilities of your machine.

Most ATVs can tow a pretty good load, but some machines are better suited to landscape work than others. The best machines for this type of work are the automatic-transmissioned four-wheel-drive models.

These machines usually have really good low-end grunt that can easily move landscape equipment around without breaking a sweat. Another advantage is that the auto transmission doesn't require you to constantly manhandle the clutch.

The four-wheel-drive gives you extra traction that prevents you from spinning your wheels and causing extra landscaping work for yourself.

The sport machines really aren't suited to this work. They usually don't have a good hitch setup and they are usually a standard shift.

In terms of the actual equipment, you should look at the quality. Most equipment comes with a standard three-point hitch arrangement that utilizes a ball-type hitch.

The most common ball size is a standard 2" ball. These are readily available in most auto supply stores. They are not included with equipment so you'll have to buy one separately.

Before you buy a ball be sure to confirm the required size for your piece of equipment.

The quality of the frame of the equipment is also critical. Be sure the metal used is a good thick-gauge steel. Landscape equipment takes a beating so don't buy some lightweight aluminum piece that will quickly come apart.

In terms of frame construction be sure to look at the joinery. Typically it will be bolted or welded together. The advantage of welding is that they will not loosen with use, but if the weld does fail you will need a welder to fix the break.

If the framework is bolted together it will need an occasional tightening, but if a bolt fails it is an easier (and less expensive) fix.

Be sure to look at the quality of your equipment choice before you buy, and remember: In the long run it is better to buy good equipment once than lousy equipment twice.
