All about ATVs

Living the Country Life magazine teamed up with the editors of Successful Farming magazine, our sister publication, to complete the most exhaustive evaluation of all-terrain vehicles and utility vehicles ever conducted.

Chainsaws

When living in the country, a chainsaw can be one of the most useful tools to have on hand. Whether you find yourself needing to cut some firewood, clear a trail, or clean out branches, a chainsaw can prove invaluable.

Time for tillers

Take it easy this spring; allow a rear-tine garden tiller to work for you.

Shock value

From horses and goats to deer and raccoons, electric fencing contains and deters animals.

Pond aerators

Keep your pond from stagnating. Aerators add the oxygen needed for a healthy pond.

Utility vehicles

Whether you're using one for work or play, a UV offers a payload with a payoff.

Box scrapers

Do you have a section of land on your acreage in need of some contouring? Maybe it's a gravel driveway you want to smooth out or some dirt in your lawn you want to landscape. A box scraper implement for your tractor could be the answer. Most tractor manufacturers make a box scraper, and this tool can ease an often-difficult task.

BLOW that snow

Large drift or small, these tractor snowblower attachments will get the job done.
