En Corvus We are aware of the importance of ensuring that everything goes well with your gardens, crops, plots and everything that surrounds the agricultural business. And if that can be done increasing the efficiency of transportation of personnel and productsMuch better.
So that is where 4×4 specialized in agricultural businesses come into play, as is ours. Corvus Terrain DX4, For example. One of these fantastic machines will help you streamline processes, save you from having to carry heavy boxes from here to there and, ultimately, make your life easier at work.
However, not all 4×4s are the same and, therefore, will not offer the same features. So, this time we want to review five fundamental points that it is interesting that you take into account before deciding which one will be ideal for you.
1. Roof and moon
First of all, although it may seem obvious, make sure that the 4×4 has a roof that protects you from the rain and a front window as a screen to avoid the impact of stones or sand getting into the eyes of the operators.
We know that rainy days are normally very welcome in the countryside, it is a great natural irrigation and improves crops. But if it turns out that you have to work in that rain with a 4×4 that is not provided with an adequate roof, the day can get complicated. And, above all, if it were to snow or hail.
Both the roof and the moon They must be resistant to withstand the impacts that may occur.
2. Interior comfort
Continuing with the line of comfort, it is important that the cabin is well prepared. Keep in mind that workers can spend many hours inside these 4×4s carrying the load from one place to another and enduring the irregularities of the terrain.
These details not only make the difference in how well and tastefully the job will be done, but they also injuries from occupational hazards will be avoided, especially on the back and neck.
So, make sure that the seats have enough space, that they are comfortable and adjustable, that the posture of the driver and passenger is not forced and that the controls (levers, buttons, etc.) that need to be used are well accessible.
3. Hopper suitable for use
These 4×4 are designed to transport people and products. As we have already talked about comfort for people, it is time to deal with the products. In this sense, there are several issues to keep in mind for the hopper or loading area.
First of all, it must be as accessible as possible, allowing tilting that facilitate loading/unloading If necessary. In addition, the packages that are loaded must be secured so that they do not fall when hitting bumps.
4. Optimal tires and suspensions
This is something we always mention because it is fundamental. The tires are the only part of the vehicle that is in contact with the ground and the suspensions are responsible for ensuring that they do not come unstuck. Therefore, make sure that these two parts are perfectly prepared to work in the narrow soils of the agricultural area.
5. Engine efficiency and ease of handling
Finally, we did not want to fail to mention the importance of the engine. At the end of the day, these machines should save you money with the facilities they provide; If they have an engine that consumes too much, it will not be profitable for you.
In addition, there are mechanisms such as raising the cargo area to facilitate any maintenance task of the engine, saving you a lot of time.
