They probably are a blast but I don't have any idea what the limitations are as far as weight towing and the like. There is only so much drive train beyond the motor.
John Florida:
This is built for farming:
and has power take off equipment far beyond an ATV. That's not to say it won't work. I think a lot has to do with how much work.
Weisshaupt:
There is no doubt a tractor is the tool for large scale farming - if your site is under an acre though, the ATVs may be better. The Big Bore ATVs are about 60 hp, and smaller enginers average around 40hp, and you know the traction won't be problem.
The ATVs are also typically lighter, and therefore won't compact the soil as much as you use them .. but it also depends on what you really plan to use them for. Equip your ATV with a winch and plaw and you have snow removal, and the ATV can be used for hunting, and just general huling in places that other vehciles can't get to..
