Dear MOD,Thanks your inquiry. The Garden scooter has an 8.5-gallon capacity and has a durable resin construction that is built to last a long time, rain or shine. To answer your question, the scooter has very strong and durable wheels, and it can roll in dirt with no difficulties.Please let us know if you have any questions.Regards,Michelle S.Customer Service Agent

I sit on mine (on dirt or bark mulch) all the time and I've never had a problem. It moves around just fine. I don't try to roll all the way across the yard while still on it because I think my weight could cause it to sink it in where the dirt is softer. I love this thing...it's a real back saver, and I like that I can put my tools and extra stuff under the seat, so they're always with me as I move around the yard.

The cart would need a special coat of marine paint as it is made of easily weathered plywood. Also it is quite heavy to move around and the narrow wheels would quickly sink in loose sand.

As you can see from the pic, side under the handle sloped down, but there is a flat bottom. I hauled bricks in mine down a steep hill to line a garden bed at the bottom of my yard & I am 67 years old! Very sturdy cart! I intend to use mine to wash out all my flower pots. Can't go wrong buying this!

Actually, the wheels roll all the time, so you have to be careful even when you go to sit on it. I pulled a big sack of soil on it, but you have to hold on because it wobbles. Mostly you'd want to use it with your gardening tools in the bottom to weed and do light gardening.

I work on smooth surfaces and grass; don't know about dirt. I think it would become mired in wetness but should be ok when dry. She may not be able to 'scoot' it along as easily in dirt.

My short answer is yes. The tires are large enough in diameter that it rolls well in a straight direction. They do not caster or turn however so you have to sort of skid it sideways to make it change direction. This does increase difficulty in grass or other vegetation. Hope this helps.

Wheels are small so rough/bumpy terrain could be difficult. this machine will fit onto a yard cart so that is the way i would move it over any distance. Load it onto the cart using wide planks as a ramp.

Probably but you'd have to add some drainage holes and I would not trust it could be moved once it had dirt in it.I'd get one and try it out before I got two...

As long as you "pull" behind you and not push in front it should be ok...same at the beach....this cart performs better pulling rather than pushing.

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.

I own the Rake and Go Leaf Cart from Ames but have not used it yet as the Fall leaf collection in my area hasn't arrived. In my town, leaves are swept onto the street and picked up there without the need for bags so I can't specifically address your concerns. After looking at this cart, I suspect that it will work nicely for my use. Up till now, I have used the method of raking leaves onto a tarp and then dragging the tarp to the street so this cart method (with wheels) will hopefully prove to be infinitely better.

I use my lawn cart on a long sidewalk. I couldn't really say if it would work well on inclines or bumps. I've used it on the lawn by the sidewalk and it's fairly manageable. I'd think something sturdy with bigger wheels would be more appropriate. Hope that is helpful.

Not really. The wheels are very slippery so tall or wet grass won't work. Mud is out of question.

No Not really. It has a tendency to just push the dirt rather than flip it into it.

I'm going to say no because the wheels are very wobbly and the handle isn't the strongest for pulling the wagon. I had to carry it around my yard to place it where I wanted it. It had dirt and flowers in it.

No it doesn't have wheel lock so if you're on a slope you'll need to turn the cart so it isn't angled towards a downslope.

I would not trust this to move dirt and rocks. They do make another plow that is a bit more expensive for that. Your local tractor dealer should have it or be able to order it.
