Sit-Astride ATV's (Novice) (Short courses and Adult Learning)

  • Gelli Aur Campus
1 Day

Sit-astride all-terrain vehicles (ATV’s) are incredibly versatile machines. Their flexibility means they can work with a range of attachments, including trailers, sprayers and spreaders. That makes them popular across many agricultural businesses. However that popularity comes with the potential for danger and without proper training serious accidents can occur.
