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

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 ;-)
