Default New wagons/carts seem cheap to me. You?
Cheap made, yet high price. Anyone made their own? I have seen the dump cart from Xtreme. Wondering if anyone has dimensions of the Cub Cadet #1 or #2 cart.

Pretty cheaply built yes. But I will say this. I bought a cheap agrifab one about 12 years ago, done everything I can to kill it but it keeps on trucking. Been wanting to buy something else, but the Dutchman in me wants to kill this one first. So far, the death has alluded me.

Once I get the dual hydrualics on my tractor with rear ports I'm thinking of building a hydraulic dump cart, I don't really need one but I don't need 4 cubs either.

I have an old and I mean old Agri Fab that is rusted and bent but it still works. Tires have more green slim in them than air. It was cheap but that was like 20 years ago.

I to have an older Agri-Fab, probably 25-30 years old, with the box of approx. 1/16" thick sheetmetal and 1/8" frame members. My Dad, brother & I have done everything to possibly destroy it, but still no avail. I finally burned up the bushings in the stock wheels at the end of last summer, but the rest of it is structurally as sound as the day we bought it.

I plan on swapping in a small trailer axle w/high speed bearings and hubs this summer so I can pull it with my 4-wheeler (which is how I toasted the bushings).

The new-ish carts aren't terrible. An axle/wheel & tire upgrade might make it more usable and attractive for your needs.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
