What are your essentials to keep on your UTV? - 03/18/16 01:28 PM

I already got a tool kit, tire repair kit and am thinking about getting an air compressor. If you have an air compressor please recommend size and brand. Also anything else you think one should always carry with them just in case

I keep a ton of carp in my Ranger. To much but I hate having to come back to the barn to get something to do a repair on a feeder, fix a flat, or fence repair. Even keep spare road feeder parts and fuses.

Everything that has been mentioned here plus a "come along" in the front storage of my mule. With my mule having a windshield, I also keep glass cleaner and a small squeegee in mine. As for the air compressor, I would think any little 12 volt would work, some would just take longer than others. Kawasaki has put a nice 12 volt plug-in on the dash of the newer Mules. Works great for a compressor. Also, I keep my dog first-aid bag in the front storage. Like Mr. Oxner mentioned, be a good Boy Scout and always go to the field prepared for anything. One last thing, I mounted a Hylift Jack to the back rock screen behind the cab. It has proven to be the greatest tool of all...winch, lift, etc.

Nobody said T.P. yet, am I the only one? Tools, ratchet straps, a tow strap without hooks, and a cheap flashlight.

As far as compressors go, I've had one of THESE banging around the truck for years. They started making them with a cigarette lighter plug, and it's worthless. Cut that off, get some good alligator clips to go directly to the battery, and it's a great little compressor for cheap.

Air compressor bought at Northern Tool, small, comes with a bag, strong enough to pump truck tire up.

Only one I could find. You can see the bucket up on the top of the dog box. I haven't had to use it but it has saved my buddy. flush

Many of the things others have mention but I also keep a set of limb loppers in the bed. I leave the bucket with the bottom cut out at camp.....cause I lost my fur lined toilet seat. flush JK

A spare half gallon of Jack Daniels!

Mounted gas can, I forget to look at the gauge often but that could be due to the Jack Daniels.

Mounted ice chest! Loose ones slide around and shake up passengers Beer!

Hidden key somewhere incase you forget it at home. (Refer to above Jack Daniels or old age) I have 2 zip tied on mine.

I have not seen a jump box on this thread but it's pretty useful.

I have front and rear baskets on my old Yamaha, and I mounted ammo cans in the front basket. Stuff not in the cans: small machete, limb loppers, chain, wire and some junk. In the cans are WD40, gloves, TP, surveyor tape, Duct tape, extra spark plug, Leatherman tool, ratchet and spark plug socket, ratchet straps, paper towels, and things that don't come to mind right now.

If I didn't live on the place, close to the barn and tools, I'd have slime and an air compressor in the ammo cans. And a plug kit.

About the most useful thing on the ATV is the winch. Gotta have a winch.

Dr Pepper is my Buddies. I chase with Sprite or Ginger Ale. And it makes for a great day!

I think it is a barbed wire fence spreader. Opens up the strands high enough to step through instead of climb over.

Just added an essential to my list, and figured it was worth sharing...fire extinguisher!!! Had some mice build a nest under the hood in UTV that started smoking while driving the other day. Realized real quick that if a fire ever started, a fire extinguisher would be might handy, so I added one.

good move - buddy at our lease drove his polaris out on the ranch, smelled smoke, and it was on fire underneath. The 22 shells start exploding. A rat had build a nest next to his exhaust and had carried some shells into the nest. Scared the heck out of the guy - he got it put out with beer.

Toilet paper, beer, rifle. That's all I need. If tire goes flat, I'll drive it back to camp.
