> I've been wanting a Kei mini truck for around the farm here. Just for picking up lumber, manure, etc. no long highway trips. Just mostly local and on the property.

Have you looked at ATVs and pseudo-Jeeps like the Mahindra Roxor or the Kioti?



Well, those are fine for on-property, but not going places, as at least around here they're not road/hwy legal.

I have a compact tractor, I want something for moving stuff around that is either off-property (compost, manure, lumber, straw bales, etc.) or not suited for tractor/trailer.

I do have an SUV (Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which is cool cuz it has a 12 amp outlet in the back for powering tools etc) but it can't fit plywood in the back and I wouldn't put dirty stuff in it, cuz it's my wife's :-)


ATVs seem to be street legal in Ontario if they have a license plate: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/driver/drive-ATV.shtml


> or not suited for tractor/trailer.

what about a small utility trailer? Cheap as dirt at harbor freight, etc.


I have a nice aluminum trailer but I hate using it. Driving with a trailer sucks, and pulling one into the lumber yard is a pain is the worst.

Spoiled, am I. This is what happens when you combine a FAANG salary with rural hobbies ;-)
