5.0 out of 5 stars
Up to any task so far, December 26, 2008
This review is from: Steel Yard Cart With Collapsible Sides, STEEL YARD CART W/SIDES
This cart is a workhorse. It handles every job beautifully. I've loaded it, alternately, with wood, rocks, grandchildren and various combinations of farm chore equipment depending on the situation. I may pull it manually with the handle or haul it behind the garden tractor (note the 'bump' on the handle--that's important. The hand-pull handle can easily be detached so the wagon can be hooked up behind the tractor).
It is a heavyweight cart and large for a wagon, but not as wide or awkward as a cart intended only to be pulled behind a tractor, so it fits easily through gates and on woodland trails as well as in tight places around the yard. If I have to maneuver the tractor in a tight place that requires backing (at which I'm not very good with a trailer attached), I greatly appreciate the four-wheel stability, which allows me to detach it from the tractor, get turned around and hook it back up. It's easy and fast.
The sides can all be dropped down to make a flatbed unit or drop just one side to accommodate unusual loads. It is very versatile and can take a lot of rough use. It's served me well for over a year with no signs of fatigue, and I expect it will last for quite some time. This is a very study wagon and has been a great addition to the farm and garden.

Versatile Lawn Buddy, August 26, 2009
This review is from: Steel Yard Cart With Collapsible Sides, STEEL YARD CART W/SIDES
I have wanted one of these carts for years! This very sturdy and versatile cart makes transporting garden supplies easy. Use the hand-pull handle or pull it behind your lawn tractor. It's the best!

Not for super heavy loads., June 5, 2010
This review is from: Steel Yard Cart With Collapsible Sides, STEEL YARD CART W/SIDES
I believe this would be able to handle the maximum load value as advertised if a person were on flat concrete. However, in an uneven yard I would not recommend loading it beyond a quarter to half of the maximum value. The front and rear axle do not look like they could handle too terribly much.
For some odd reason two of the lock nuts on the front wheel assembly went AWOL. Do not know if this was my doing or the manufacturers.
One thing to note if buying this is the assembly instructions call for spacers on the wheels which are not included in the package. I assembled it without the recommended spacers just to see how it looked. I found out that the spacers are built into the wheels already which is handy but can have one scratching their head for quite awhile at first when doing an initial part inventory.
This is a perfectly fine yard cart if you do not plan on hauling large amounts of wood, gravel, or dirt. I was loading it as heavy as I could with composted hay from an old bail pile. I had to take it slow for fear of breaking it. If just moving leaves, pots, or other odds and ends, it performs as advertised. I just once again do not recommend loading it to the maximum weight value unless you want to turn it into a sled.
