Great Cart - could use better instructions.
We got this because we know Father Time is catching up with us. Does exactly what we need - hauls a lot of weight, but because of the balance, it doesn't feel like a lot of weight. Doesn't look like it will rust. The size is great too - larger than an average cart but not ridiculous. Because the cart itself is so light, I think I'll end up hanging it as well. Yes, it's a crazy amount of money to spend for a home garden cart, but if I knew this was the last one I buy in this lifetime, then I'd buy this one all over again. One improve - the instructions omit some of the bolts that need to get mounted on this cart's handles - pretty thorough instructions, but if they could improve showing where to put the bolts that hold the handle on, this would be perfect.

Used daily for manure pickup from stalls and fields. Strong and easy to maneuver and dump.
We use this daily to pick up manure from two horses. This cart goes up and down hills, and gets dumped by pushing the front end down into the manure pile and then walking it over until it's upside down. We have not had any issues with the bucket part coming off the frame. They include extra nuts and bolts if you want to attach it more permanently, but we have had no need.This is well balanced and maneuverable, the big wheels are a huge help with the ruts in the field, and you can pull it behind you if you need to, without clipping your heels on the frame. It was totally worth the cost.We've had smaller wheelbarrows, but then we had to make two trips. One-wheeled wheelbarrows are a no-go in terms of tipping over too easily on the hills. If the wheels are too small, they get stuck easily. Overall, this is the best farm cart we've had, and it seems exceptionally sturdy, including the metal spoked wheels. We had one pretty good wheelbarrow, but the plastic wheels tended to not hold the bearings as tightly, and we've had to do lots of bearing replacement, which gets old. This one seems much tougher. Will report back after a year of use.

I am having the same problem that others mention - I have been trying to use it to move mulch around my yard and every time I dump the cart, the tub falls out. They act like the lack of screws fastening the tub to the frame is a feature (no rust!) but the tub will not stay in. I would send it back, except that it's so big and I've gotten rid of the box.Also, this is a cheaper version of the cart that what you get when you buy it on the manufacturer's site. I think the marketing is a little deceptive in this regard.The big difference is that this version is missing a stabilizer bar across the frame. I wonder if that is the reason that the tub won't stay in - the frame is much more wobbly without this stabilizer. It's too bad they have gone this route - there are many great ideas with this product, but the manufacturer charges too much when you buy it direct, and the Amazon version doesn't hold the tub for dumping. So generally, they've taken something good and degraded it to sell it here. Stupid move on their part because they are going to start getting more and more negative reviews when all they used to get were raves.

Awesome Cart!
My husband purchased this for me as a birthday present. I was so surprised and thrilled! I just love it. It's so easy and lightweight to handle. One would think due to its size, it would be a bit hard to push or pull, but that is not the case. It's a dream to work with and holds so much!

Holds a lot...
Unit was easy to assemble. I did make some modifications. Added the 'green goo' tire sealant to the wheels, since we live in blackberry country. The cotter pins that hold the wheels on were rubbing the spokes, so I trimmed the plastic axel spacers and added a large washer under the cotter pins. Drilled drainage holes in the front of the bin -- there is an indent there which water will sit in when tipped up.Other than that, the unit rolls effortlessly, holds more than most wheelbarrows, and dumps easily. The only issue I ran into is that the bin can slide back & forth in the frame -- which allows the bin to hit the wheels if it slides over too far. A 'centering' pin might have been useful...

My fourth one. All 4 still in service!
These carts are amazing! Strong yet lightweight, super maneuverable. Because they are so expensive, we tried other carts and regretted it every time. Now we have 4 smart carts, 2 of each wheel type for a host of chores around the ranch. Loading and moving a three string bale? No problem! They are definitely the best! The bicycle wheel ones are better maneuverable, the cart wheel ones are excellent for heavy loads. We use and abuse them and the first one is still going strong after 6+ years of daily use. They are exposed to weather, especially sun but don't show any issues.

Best cart ever.
Best garden cart ever. Wish I had acquired one years ago.Sturdy, well balanced, and easy to use.I wanted to pop the bin back out of the frame to put in the back of my car and hall some stuff. It was tricky to figure the right technique to use. I called manufacturers and got a great service rep. Presto. Easy peasey.Ditch your old wheelbarrow. Get this. You'll love it.

Good cart
Not difficult to assemble. Good quality cart. Easy to roll and is very deep to hold lots of stuff. So far I have been quite pleased.
