Golf Cart Great Around Farm
“I was tired of all the noisy gas engines around my small farm. It’s great to drive around in an almost silent vehicle,” says Glenn Wallis, River Phillip, Nova Scotia, who says his electric golf cart is his “best buy”.
    “Besides being quiet, it’s easy to get on and off, which saves time and effort when trying to get work done. I installed a 2-in. ball hitch on back to pull several trailers that I use. It can handle surprisingly heavy loads. Great for hauling gravel, picking up branches, towing the garbage down my 300-ft. driveway, and just plain getting around my property.
    “I bought it used online at www.veseysequipment.com but there are many places to find used golf carts. We got an 8-year-old unit, with 1-year-old batteries, for $1,760. Using a Kill-A-Watt meter, I have calculated that my average cost to run the cart is less than a dollar a day.
    “In the past I used my garden tractor to pull my trailers around but it was noisy, less comfortable, and climbing on and off was always a nuisance. And my garden tractor doesn’t have a topper to block the sun during the summer.”
