From season to season, the natural world offers some beautiful sights, a fact that makes working outdoors one of the most rewarding roles. For the landscape gardeners, agricultural professionals and arboriculturalists that call the great outdoors their office, being properly prepared – is of course – of the utmost importance.
Alongside the advanced tools needed to complete the specialist tasks that are a part of every landscaping expert’s job description, having the right vehicle can make all the difference to efficiency, safety, and versatility, especially when a project takes them to a more rugged setting.
Your Mechanic explains more about what features every landscape gardener, agricultural professional, and arboricultural needs from their chosen vehicle:
“Gardeners and landscape architects need to haul around quite a bit of gear. As a gardener, chances are you will need to transport a variety of mowing equipment, along with smaller implements. You may also need to move shrubs, fertilizer, and earth. That means you’ll need a vehicle with a lot of cargo space, and possibly towing capacity.”
A 4×4 vehicle is a perfect match for so many reasons, but a 4WD can be made even more brilliant and useful with the right upgrades. Read on to discover five of the best 4×4 upgrades for landscaping pros.
Winches
Upgrading your 4×4 with the right winch can boost on-the-job reliability and performance. Winches are designed to pull objects (including large trees and bulky foliage) and other vehicles out of thick mud, undergrowth and deep snow with absolute precision and efficiency. This makes them ideal for off-road projects and jobs that have to be handled even more effectively due to harsher weather conditions.
The additional extras featured on many of the winch kits we stock here at 4×4 Works make recovery hands-free, performance-driven and safe. Some winches are equipped with remote controls and waterproofing to guarantee simplicity in all weather and across various terrains.
Winch bumpers and mounts
Our winch bumpers are also designed to make life on the job easier for landscaping professionals. No winch kit upgrade would be complete without a robust and secure winch bumper.
In addition to providing the protection your vehicle needs in the toughest conditions, a winch bumper supplies a solid base for mounting a number of off-road essentials, including but not limited to that brand new winch. Winch bumpers can be used to mount driving lights for example, which will be integral to performing your outdoor role even as the dark nights roll in during autumn and winter.
For those not wanting to fit a full winch bumper, a hidden winch mount offers a great alternative as well as a high level of vehicle protection.
Rear protection bumpers
When upping your 4×4 protection, don’t forget about the rear of your vehicle. Rear protection bumpers are ideal for on- and off-road use, and embody some pretty innovative features to give you the flexibility you require.
We understand that your job as a landscape gardener, agricultural professional or arboriculturalist takes you to some interesting places. With rear protection bumpers fitted, you can safeguard the rear quarter panels and factory bumper bars that are susceptible to damage and take on steep, rocky terrain with ease.
Many of our rear protection bumpers include built-in, 2” receiver hitches for towing to guarantee maximum functionality, whatever challenges you face.
Drawer systems
The storage capacity of your 4×4 matters. You’ll need to transport a wide range of tools and equipment, often to sites in rural or more rugged locations. With our modular drawer systems, you can do just that and access all you need to get the job done rather simply.
Maximise your storage space, customise your compartments to complement your needs, and keep your kit organised by shopping our drawer systems.
Clutch and brake kits
Mechanically, there are several upgrades available. Our brake kits and clutch kits are among our bestsellers and for good reason.
The improved brake performance delivered by our brake upgrades will dramatically reduce your stopping distance in all conditions. Our premium quality clutch kits can be relied on to get you through the harshest of conditions – even with the extra weight of additional upgrades – thanks to their increased clamp load, anti-burst protection and corrosion resistance.
