They have a little dump bed on the back and many of them have a bench seat design similar to a golf cart. The overall length, width and weight are not much more than a large ATV and they are a lot more useful. You can get them in 4wd too I believe. Someone, JD I think, makes one with two rear axles that both pull.

One thing I enjoy about trips to the Midwest and especially Iowa,
Illinois and Minnesota are the Farm and Fleet stores they have out there.
The last few times I have been in them, they had these farm utility ATVs
on the floor near the line of checkout aisles. Prices were considerably
cheaper than the JD Gator. They had walk-in seating (no climbing as in
getting on and off a tractor), dump beds, and both 4 and 6 wheels. Very
well put together and a very handy thing to have. If I had a farm, I would
have one. In my case, on this acreage, my golf carts do just fine, Charlie,
but you might want to check these out. Seems I saw them in a Sams Club too
somewhere. I'd bet they are for sale near Rochester or Buffalo if you can
find out who sells them.
