How would this be as a garden cart to move large heavy pots? "Deck" big enough to securely hold a pot? Wheels useful on non-paved surfaces?

In a word, no. The deck is not a solid piece of metal and most hand carts or hand trucks do not have a large enough deck to support a large flower pot...especially one filled with soil and plants. You would be better off looking at a product that is a convertible hand truck/platform dolly of the type sold at places like Northern Tool Company. I don't know if Amazon carries a product like this. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_18955_18955There are other similar companies but I can't think of the names of any of them right now. Check out the link above as there are some which can support the type of flower pots you are talking about and cost is reasonable. In a word, no.

It would probably work well, The "deck" is about 10 inches wide or less so as with any dolly, if you put the pot on there as much as you can and then lean the dolly back to support the pot or whatever object you are moving, the wheels roll very nicely and should work well on grass too.

The deck is about 9inches deep (from where the handles join) and 15 inches across (though it tapers somewhat at the lip). The wheels are 5 inches in diameter.

I've only used it to move boxes so far, I'm not sure this item would be good to move large heavy pots specially if they are round, the deck is not that big but it works great to move square items (flat sides) are easy to load and transport. The size of the deck is 9.5"D x 15"W. I just tried it on the lawn and also on dirt and it moves easily, my biggest concern will be trying to load anything that doesn't have at least one flat side. Hope the answer helps and let me know if you have more questions.

Ya, it works well for heavy things. The deck is about average size. My main complaint was that it wouldn't unfold so I had to force it open, which broke it. So if you keep it unfolded it works great. Also it was a little shorter than I liked. Hope that helps.

I do not think the magna cart hand truck would work very well for this.The uneven grtipound and large pots you will most likely tip it over.

Unless the dirt or grass are too soft, wheels are not wide enough for really soft ground however in most cases it would be fine. This is a really good intermediate weight cart. Much better than the carts available at Home Depot etc.

The cart like a dolly used for moving heavy and large pieces. the bag on the outside fits over the handle and can be taken off if you want to use it as a dolly.

I use mine to haul Yeti ice chest. I have not had any problems at all including pulling it up and down stairs. It is a very sturdy cart.

The wheels are about 4 inches. Would roll okay on carpet but might be top heavy if loaded. If you put a lot of weight on top it could tip easily. Also no handle so it would be difficult to push as a cart.

This cart does not have brakes on the wheels, so I don't think you could safely lean on it. It's a handy little cart, I bet you could find many uses for it. I use it to bring groceries, etc. into the house. Not sure how it'd hold up in dirt, I have only used it indoors.

I think it would not be suitable for bags heavier than 10 pounds, and only one at a time. The inside is compartmentalized so pots couldn't be larger than 4 inches to sit on the bottom. I have used it to move bag of yard waste. I love it and couldn't do yard work without it.

Maybe if you remove the wheels. It's a sturdy cart, but not a steady cart. Moving a big TV around might be problematic.

The weight shouldn't be a problem, the only thing I might consider would be if your rack is top heavy? This cart is not very big around.

The back (larger) wheels are quite sturdy. They are steel wheels with rubber rims. They are mounted on a single 1/4" steel axle that passes through the whole cart. I generally move the cart by lifting the front wheels off the floor and pushing or pulling the cart to its new location. No issues in either direction.

The wheels are large and can manage grass, but if the lead wheel might dip into an uneven hole it tends to tip forward, ok on paved surfaces... If one needs moderate support for balance maybe get one with four wheels.. The lowest height of adjustment is is handles at 30" from ground, probably fine for your height

I used it with a 16 inch pot potted with 4 foot tropical...no problems moving it...very stable

the cart is rated for 150 lb, so do not try to move a potted plant that exceed the rating, also the pot diameter should not be bigger than 18 inches at the base, hope these info can be helpful to you.

The wheels are the size of a umbrella stroller. My mother uses it for stability. It worked out very good when we went outlet shopping the other week. The collapseable metal carts do not allow you to lean on them.

I don't think it would be best for rugged terrain. We use it to haul items to shows that we set up and the wheels are not really that big. They are kind of like a shopping cart wheel. Hope this helps :-)

Mine works well on stairs. I use mine to bring groceries from the car into the house. When I pull the cart to the car (which is in the driveway), I have to make sure I turn the cart around so that when it is full, I can grab the handle to PULL it back to the house. I am not able to steer it in a circle to reposition it. Because of the 3 wheels on each side, they do not swivel. Other than that, I am very happy with my cart. It works well for my purpose.

I think it would not do well in thick, plush grass. The wheels are not real oversize. But for pavement, or hard packed grass / ground, this little cart is a gem. Used it today to transport decoration boxes from garage to house and back
