For those of us who head out to the hunting lease, whether it’s for hunting or ranch work, the term “work” takes on a different meaning. Sure, there’s a lot of labor involved, but it’s a labor of passion and enjoyment. It’s not the type of work where you’re sitting behind a desk, punching out numbers on a spreadsheet, or answering emails. Instead, it’s the kind of work that gives you a sense of accomplishment as well as fostering dreams for a future hunt.
One thing that makes work at the deer lease easier and more enjoyable is having the right tools, and for us, that includes a lineup of Yamaha side-by-side vehicles. These machines not only work as hard as we do, but with Yamaha’s extensive range of genuine accessories, they make the experience even better.
Side-by-Side Accessories for Comfort and Convenience
When you’re spending long hours at the lease, the right accessories can make a world of difference. Take something as simple as a windshield, for example. On a cold morning, when you’re heading out to the deer stand in 40-degree weather, having a windshield can make all the difference in your comfort level. It may seem like a small thing, but it’s hard to beat the protection a windshield provides from wind, rain, and flying debris. Call me soft or whatever but being comfortable makes the day more enjoyable!
Yamaha’s windshields are made from polycarbonate coated with a hard, durable finish. This coating prevents scratches from branches and debris, ensuring clear visibility even after extensive use. While cheaper windshields may save you money in the short term, Yamaha’s high-quality windshields offer long-term durability and a better experience overall.
Roofs and Mirrors: Essential Add-Ons
Another Yamaha side-by-side accessory that can make a big difference is a roof. Having a roof over your head can keep you dry during a rain shower and make long rides more enjoyable. Paired with the windshield, it adds an extra layer of comfort that makes those early morning or late evening trips to the deer stand much more pleasant.
Personally I didn’t think I’d use them much but side mirrors are another must-have accessory. Just like in your car, having mirrors on your side-by-side gives you better visibility and adds to the safety of your ride. Yamaha’s mirrors are durable and feature an automotive-quality design, so they snap back into place if a branch knocks them out of alignment. The clear, high-quality glass ensures you can see what’s behind you without any distortion, adding to your overall riding experience.
Cargo Space: Maximizing Your Load Capacity
When it comes to working at the lease, cargo space is always at a premium. Yamaha’s bed extenders and bed racks increase the load capacity of your Wolverine X2 1000 or Wolverine RMAX4 1000, giving you the flexibility to carry more gear, tools, or even harvested game. By lowering the tailgate and attaching the bed extender, you instantly gain extra storage space, whether you’re hauling equipment, farm supplies, or deer after a successful hunt. I can’t think I’d ever own a unit anymore without these extenders.
The bed rack also adds versatility, providing additional space on top for your gear. You can store your guns, backpack, or camera gear up top while keeping the lower storage area free for larger items. This multi-level storage system is perfect for maximizing your cargo capacity and keeping your gear organized and accessible. Once again I feel this is a must have accessory if you’re a gear junkie like me and want to have all your assets easily at hand.
Accessory Compatibility Across Yamaha Models
One of the great things about Yamaha side-by-side accessories is their compatibility across different models. Whether you’re using the Wolverine X2, the Wolverine RMAX 1000, or even the Wolverine 850, many accessories can be transferred between models. This means that if you upgrade your vehicle or add a second one to your fleet, you won’t need to purchase a whole new set of accessories—many of them will work on your new machine as well.
Enjoying the Ride with Yamaha Accessories
At the end of the day, Yamaha side-by-side accessories is about making life easier and more enjoyable at the deer lease. Whether it’s adding comfort with a windshield and roof, increasing safety with side mirrors, or expanding your cargo capacity with bed extenders and racks, Yamaha’s accessories are designed to enhance your outdoor experience. And when you’re comfortable and prepared, the work becomes that much more enjoyable.
