Precision Products LC200SP 6-Cubic-Foot Single-Pack Garden Yard Cart
This is an excellent yard cart. Just as described. Highly recommended. Having said that, there is more. I do not recall ever receiving anything so poorly packaged. The box was broken open in three places. Others have commented on this as well. Only by luck were all the pieces (except 5 bolt caps) present. I do not blame the carrier for this; it is a relatively heavy item in a woefully inadequate box. Be prepared to check over it well if you order. The company ought to be ashamed of this! By the way, it goes together fairly easily although one might set aside an hour and assemble it out of earshot of young children.
Sportsman Series HDTFLATB 36-by-18-Inch 600-Pound-Load-Capacity Steel Flatbed Garden Cart with Pneumatic Wheels
I am usually a person who gives alot of benefit of doubt to someone. Sometimes I end up paying for it. This was the case. I read the previous review, and noted the shortcomings. rust, inferior fit, inadequate hardware, must I go on. I ordered this wagon in hopes that the previous review was a fluke. It wasnt. Many of my parts came with the tailtale signs of beginning rust. In addition, nothing was wrapped in a condition to be shipped. Nothing was packaged or wrapped to protect it from banging around inside. Needless to say, all of the major pieces were scratched up, as if somebody had previously assembled it, used it and returned it to amazon. if that is the case, it wasnt inspected again before it was shipped to me. In the future I shall heed these reviews more carefully. mike
Buffalo Tools® Yard / Garden Utility Cart
this is a good cart for the price takes a little to put together. but its decent.
Do It Best Handtruck TC4205C Steel Yard Cart With Collapsible 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.
Suncast GC1500B Portable Outdoor Gardening Center with Interchangeable Shelves, Tool Storage And Utility Bin, Taupe
It Is a nice center, to help store items when you have a small space.
I was a little upset when I found you sold the same item for $66.00 and I paid $99.00 for the one i have
Ames True Temper 6 Cubic Foot EZ Hauler Dumping Garden Cart VP6EZ
Pros - Bought one of these from a store for less than $17 (Seventeen) and it lasted about 6 years before the wheel broke in to two pieces. Great amount of room. 2 wheels makes it easier than one. Cons - The rigid legs catch your feet as you push it. Has a tendancy to collect water for a mosquito farm if left outside whether upright or stacked. Still used today as a static container so it was a great buy. Axle and wheels are not very strong but for $17 what do you expect?
Precision Products 5-1/2-Cubic Foot Garden Yard Cart With 16-Inch Pneumatic Wheels LC-150-P16
Love it. Great company to deal with. It arrived without an axle. I called the company and an axle arrived within a week.
Agri-Fab 45-0345 500-Pound Poly Convertible Push/Tow Dump Cart
I love the Agri-Fab 45-0345 500-Pound Poly Convertible Push/Tow Dump Cart. It was a bit of a headache to put together,but once you have it going its awesome. The plastic bit is plenty rugged and won't turn into a rusty mess. And the ability to configure it as a hand cart is an added bonus with no down side. Get someone to help and at least a 6 pack to assemble this bad boy..and you're good to go.
Marathon Industries 70015 5-Cubic-Foot Poly Residential Yard Rover Wheelbarrow with Dual Pneumatic Air Filled Tires & Cushion Grip Handle
This is so much easier than a wheelbarrow to push/pull/maneuver around the yard. Seems sturdy and well made. Instructions were good, it took maybe half an hour (or less) to put it together.
Tricam GOR200B-T Gorilla Carts 600-Pounds Capacity Dumping Cart
600 lb capacity with a 300lb dumping capacity, why carry 600 when you can't dump it?
I bought mine, was hauling stone and the tub cracked, I called tricam, they wouln't do anything for me.
Anyone want to buy mine?

Tricam GOR200G 600-Pound Capacity Gorilla Carts Dumping Cart
I purchased this dump cart for the purpose of moving three cubic yards of mulch and six tons of 1.5" river rock from my front driveway to the backyard. I'd intended to just pick up a wheelbarrow, but I spotted this guy for roughly the same price (at a big box home improvement store, where they had it pre-assembled) and thought I'd give it a try.
Nothing was going to make shoveling 6 tons of rock any easier, but being able to load the cart up and pull it into the backyard was SO much easier than trying to balance a wheelbarrow. The tires on this cart are big, so it was easy to get it across the rocky and uneven surfaces in the backyard. My yard is pretty steeply sloped, and the cart has a fairly high center of gravity, so I did have a couple of inadvertent spills, but I just needed to take more care in choosing my route.
The handle in front pulls out easily and the whole cart tips backwards to dump the load. It was uber convenient. I don't really think I'd trust it with 600 pounds. I mean, maybe it could hold it without breaking, but I would not want to try pulling 600 pounds worth of material in it. I would estimate I put 200-300 pounds into each load, and I never had the sense it was in danger of breaking.
The material on the pull handle is a very soft, spongy material. When I was finished, the shape of it had distorted somewhat, so I'm not sure how durable that will be long term, but it was very comfortable to grip.
I'd definitely recommend the cart for landscaping tasks. Mine came pre-assembled, so I don't know how difficult assembly would be otherwise.
Precision Products 5-1/2-Cubic Foot Garden Yard Cart with Spoked Wheels LC-150-14
Very lightweight and will not haul as advertised. Spend a little more or you will pay twice.
Marathon Industries 70013 5 Cubic Foot Poly Residential Yard Rover Pink Wheelbarrow With Dual Pneumatic Air Filled Tires & Cushion Grip Handle
I have been researching wheelbarrows that would be easy for me to handle since I have Fibromyalgia and have a seven tenths of an acre cottage garden on a hill. I am a volunteer garden instructor in Charlotte, NC who spends a great deal of time in the garden.
My chiropractor had recommended a two wheel type of wheelbarrow but I could not find one I liked here in Charlotte. I am so thankful I found this one on Amazon.
It was a little hard for me to put together since I am not handy. I got about halfway and could not get the bolts to finally slide in so my handyman finished it.
I am very delighted with this purchase. There is a certain panache with owning a pink wheelbarrow. It is about time these were available since so many women garden. It is easy to handle especially when moving mulch up the hill from the curb.
Many neighbors and friends have smiled when they have seen me working with it. They all want to know where I got it.
Flowtron YC-500B Handy Hauler Yard Cart with 5-Cubic-Foot Carrying Capacity
This was replacement for Rubbermade yard cart that gave up the ghost. I wanted something more "substantial", and I ordered the Flowtron. It is indeed more substantial-heavier plastic. Also, it has a different design, while lower in profile, seems to have more capacity. Wheels seem heavier than the Rubbermade cart, too. I'm pleased. One caveat. It ships in a very large cardboard box. Lots to recycle!
Vertex Folding Yard and Utility Cart GB770
I use the folding yard & utility cart as a indoor wood cart. It rolls easily holds a lot of wood and does not get dirt and saw dust all over house. I would have rated it 5 star but the canvas in the bottom need to be thicker (heavier duty), as I already have some small holes in it. I would buy this product again.
Suncast SHA150B 150-Foot Capacity Garden Hose Hosemobile Reel Cart, Mocha/Taupe
I've have used hose reel carts for many years. I needed an additional cart. After spending time reviewing my opinions I selected the Suncast SHA150B. It was very easy to setup. Unfortunately, I do not like the position and length of the hand crank. It's difficult to reel in a hose on a grass surface. I even have had problems reeling an empty 100 ft hose that I placed on my concrete driveway.
This is the first purchase from Amazon.com that I have rated so low.
Liberty Garden Products 880-2 Industrial 2 Wheel Solid Garden Hose Reel Cart - Bronze
This hose reel is sturdy enough, but the connectors restrict the flow of water drastically. It is pretty expensive.
Liberty Garden Products Decorative Non-Rust Cast Aluminum Wall Mounted Garden Hose Reel With 125-Foot Capacity - Antique Finish 704
This product not only looks great, it's constructed well too. Built like a rock, but lightweight. Five stars.
Allsop 28162 Wheel Easy LE Folding Yard Cart
Not too much to say about the product. It was a little difficult to assemble. Could have used a third hand. I have used it quite a lot. It torn immediately in several places. I duct taped all places that ripped and it is still going strong. It will carry a heavy load and is good to use when a full size wheelbarrow is too cumbersome. I am a small person and am able to haul heavy loads up outdoor stairs. I would recommend it, just be aware it has some quality flaws.
Neuton 22721 12-Volt 2-Speed Self-Propelled Battery-Powered Electric 5-Cubic Foot Garden Cart with 200-Pound Capacity
I use to do a lot of landscaping in my younger years. As I get older I want to continue to garden but in a easier way. I love the fact that it is electric, so i can use it early in the morning without disturbing anyone, no tune-ups and it always starts.
Liberty Garden Products 870-M1-2 Industrial 300 - 4 Wheel Garden Hose Reel Cart - Tan
Overall I'm happy with that hose cart
Pros:
- Holds 300 feet of hose without any problem
- Price is reasonable
- Heavy and sturdy. Big wheels roll over uneven ground without any problem
Cons:
- The way the wheels are attached isn't the best, the cart doesn't roll in a straight line. Not a biggie, just annoying
- The connector hose is of poor quality, I have fairly high water pressure at home and when shutting off water at the end of the hose rather than at the hose bib, the connector hose will not sustain the pressure building inside the hose. It burst in several places. After a couple of patches I ended up throwing it away and replacing it with a good quality hose, It hasn't failed me since.
Liberty Garden Products 840-1 Residential Grade 4-Wheel Garden Hose Reel Cart with 250-Foot-Hose Capacity
I purchased this item from Lowes. I had to fix the leaky problem which was nothing more than tightening an allen hex screw. My problem is the tires. All the tubes are rotten and the tires are flat. I do not understand the advantage of having tires that hold air. It is not an off road unit. Fairly good solid rubber would function just fine. I would not recommend this item unless you have the ambition to store it indoors whenever it is not in use. I am sure that sitting outside exposed to the sun and weather is probably going to cause premature part(s) failure.
Yard Butler HT-2EZ 2-Wheeled Garden Hose Truck with 200-Foot Hose Capacity
I had high hopes for this item, but I should have kept looking. Item arrived in an undamaged shipping box. Yet, during assembly, I found the hand crank could not be inserted into the reel housing as the receiving piece was BENT. This was not shipping damage, but was damage prior to being placed into the box. Fortunately, I have some skills, so I was able to reshape the receiver.
Now that it is assembled, I find it to be very flimsy. Says it will hold 200 feet of hose. Don't believe it unless you are using very flimsy 1/2 inch hose.
Would not buy this product. Keep Looking.
Weber 6507 Rolling Cart
The rolling cart fits the Weber Q 220 very well, but is a little light on stability. I would recommend buying the stationary cart unless you're planning to transport the grill on a regular basis.
Fold-A-Tools FHG-200 Fold-A-Cart Home and Garden 200 Pound Capacity Cart
Great cart for the small garden - very sturdy and holds heavy brush very well. Moves smoothly over uneven ground. Easy to store. Only problems I have with it are the stems on the tires are too short to use inflation tool. I had to get extenders from auto supply. The handle could be higher. Great customer service- hanging bar was missing and they had it to me in a few days with no questions asked!
