Need a yard cart

[thadscub]

hi guys

I have moved on 4 acres and would like a yard cart but not sure which brand is the best for the money. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thad

I'd keep an eye out on local Craigslist and pick one up for cheap, they come up somewhat regularly, usually between $50 and $100. Otherwise, Agri-Fab and Brinly make good carts but generally, it's hard to go wrong when buying/making a box on wheels Just make sure you read the load rating and check it out before buying. Make sure the box isn't some cheap aluminum foil thick metal, get real tires, not those cheap-o solid ones, check the dump latch, etc. Common sense should get you a good cart, and now's the time to buy; stores are trying to get rid of that pesky spring/summer stock

I would avoid any Precision Fit brand carts. I found the metal they were made with was very thin and flimsy, and that much more than 2 armloads of firewood would collapse the structure.

I have an AgriFab cart I bought from the local Western Auto / small engine store. He had it for $150 and I found them on line for around $100. We met in the middle price wise and we both were happy.

You could always build your own and have the exact size and features to suit your personal needs. I built this in 95 using a 1980 Chevy Citation rear axle and is still going strong. The bed will tilt 90 degrees at the edge of the hill for a complete dump.

I would suggest nothing but a ih cart , but I'm bias.

If you are into name brands maybe but I personally get a certain satisfaction out of building and using something I designed and built by hand. Thats just how I feel. All is good with me. Have a nice day.

Homemade is the best!!



JD used to ship their GT's in disposable steel frames, this trailer is made out of a couple of those shipping frames,,,,

i have decided that iam going to build my own out of 1/4 plate for the floor and some steel plate for the sides hope 3/16 angle
will be strong enough to hold it all togther

I agree Cad, I got a warehouse full of 1.25 square and 1.5 x 3.5 rectangular .090 wall tubing for just cleaning out the space 20 years ago so everything I design is made with what I have in stock. Thats a piece of .625 round bar. Pics of my latch.
