I'm 63 and haul lots of 40lb bird seed bags, mulch, soil and some times patio blocks. Will this pull easily over flat but rough ground? I only weigh 100lbs.

You should not have a problem at all. I pull it up hills with hay that easily weighs over 50 pounds. If you are more or less level, you will be fine. I love mine!!! Wish I had this years ago!!!

It will be able to do this quite easy. My wife fills the cart to overflowing with firewood and has no problem hauling it about. The large soft pneumatic tires make pulling it an easy task. I don't usually hand out praise easily, but here it is deserving. The "other" carts are no way near as well constructed as thing. I would say, can't miss.
1521762
Yes. Of course weight increases difficulty of the pull, but the pneumatic tires make it easy, I think, to pull.

I bought this cart for my son who has cerebral palsy. He has an adult three wheel bike with a basket and every weekend we do chores together. I have set the cart up with a hitch so he can pull it behind his bike. We live on a farm with flat but rough ground. The cart has worked much better than I had anticipated. We use it every weekend hauling fire wood. I think you'll be very pleased. Max

Yes I think you should have no problem pulling this wagon I've had one on a job site liked it so much got one for my girl friends farm and she loves it for the bags of feed , fire wood and bays of hay
1521765
yes but expect some flat tires , the tires are super thin and you get holes in the tubes . buy flat proof tires or have a tire shop put rubber liners inside each tire .
1521766
Definitely big wheels make it a cinch plus with the cart being able to dump you won't have to lift it out whatever you are hauling

If you are 100 lbs and can lift 40 pound bags, then loading them into the cart and pulling it over rough grounds will be easy for you because the tires are great for handling rough grounds. My dad is about your age and he likes the cart too. It's definitely easier than using a wheelbarrow. I hope that answers your question.

I can say that the tires will not hold up over a year. It is disapointing that as we discuss going green you will need to buy new tires if you use this very often.

It's virtually a box cart on wheels. It's durable, but not meant for bad surfaces. I use it at the farmer's market and it's got curbs and cracks in the pavement. There are times when the spinning front wheels get caught. I would recommend pulling it; or getting another type of pull-cart that would be more durable for rough terrain. I've seen carts that look like pullie-duffle bags that might be better suited for your need.

I think it is. You don't have to balance it like a wheelbarrow. You do have to pull it, so a heavy load requires a strong pull. The wheels turn freely,so it moves pretty easily.

Not heavy duty as we would normally define it. I have been using mine for six month with no difficulties, though. It works fine for general grocery hauling. (Even through the snow). All wheels are locked in position, so you will have to tip it to steer properly. I think it is just fine for the low price!

As others have stated the actual mechanism works well, but keep in mind that you will still have to be strong enough to physically lift the entire weight of everything you put in the cart. In real world use, if you just need to dump lightweight stuff like leaves, grass clippings or hay, it is a handy feature. However, load the cart with dirt, bricks, firewood or other heavy objects and it is impossible to dump the load so you still have to do it by hand.

Yes it will provided that you stay on top of it. I have a garden tractor and I have to pick them up first with the weasel or they can not be picked up. (the tires push nuts into the ground.) Save your money if you have a lot of trees dropping nuts. The basket only holds a pound, plus you have to push down on the handle to pick up nuts.

I use mine with canned goods (loaded) and they pull without difficulty. They are very heavy duty and much sturdier than those I have seen in most stores.

I cannot respond to the question directly, however I can tell you about my experience. I have a 9000 lbs winch and it couldn't pull my 2001 silverado duramax out from my frame resting on the ground. I hooked the smitty to a tree with a chain and clevis effectively doubling the pulling power and it walked my truck right out. I hope this helps.

I have used it on fairly level concrete patio surface and it does not scoot around. Makes loud thuds though. I would imagine if the competition was using heavier bean bags than are provided it might make it move a bit. If you are using it for it's designed purpose I don't think you would have any trouble.

Not sure what your calling moderately heavy anchor. We have a 14' Klamath with I believe a six pound mushroom anchor, and it has no problem pulling it loaded with weeds. It meets our expatiation's and then some. Hope this helps.

I use it to haul dog crates and use bungee cords so they don't fall off. It is very thin on the bottom. You might have to slightly tip the front up to get it started but I think it would work.
1587858
Yes it is easy to pull. I have used it to get groceries and went 8 miles with it. 4 miles empty and full load on the way back and there was no difference in pulling it.

Very definitely. I am 77 and I was concerned about the 60 lb weight. I ordered it anyway, feeling that, with 4 large wheels, it wouldn't be too much of a factor. I was right. I have used it to move mulch from my driveway pile to my flower beds and weeds and debris to a disposal area in the lower part of my yard. Slopes all the way, up and down. It is great. I love it. Good Luck to you.

I have had one since last fall and used it to haul gas cans and other light items. I did haul 2 deer during hunting season... About 200#. It does feel really light being aluminum but it also seems sturdy. I would say if it's not overloaded or abused it should hold up over time.

I got mine yesterday and after putting it together I hauled it with the base on just 20 feet out into the back yard. In my house this requires a slightly tricky turn near the back door and three steps down to the drive. I'm a 40 year old, fairly robust guy and I gotta say this one haul kind of wore me out and afterwards I was thinking I need to keep it in the garage instead of the house for easier movement. I don't think a 70 yr old would stand a chance. As others have said you can unhook the two springs and take the tube off and carry it in two separate trips but even the 40lb base might be a bit much for a senior. I would say go with the XT6 or smaller model instead. I got mine yesterday and after putting it together I hauled it with the base on just 20 feet out into the back yard.

The bag is heavy duty with a very stiff insert in the bottom liner. The bags attaches to the frame on the handle and sits on the bottom frame. If you take the bag off, you can use the frame to haul other items. With the bag I've hauled about 30 pounds of groceries with no trouble. Have used it for over 2 years now, several times a week and at least 6 blocks with every trip. No problems.

It should carry a pretty heavy payload several hundred pounds, but my use of it is around a hundred pounds and there is no strain whatsoever.
