I always have to lug things around the yard here and there and it is nice to have something besides my wheel barrel sometimes.
This little cart looks sort of like a chair, doesn't it? I had some birthday money that was askign to be spent so I went to Lowe's to look around. This was in the area of the hoses and garden tools. They were all stacked like those stacking chairs. It says it will hold 130 lbs, but I don't know for sure. I just use it for odds and ends when planting my seeds.
Here is a picture showing the wheels. Isn't it cute? I can just leave it in the garage or bring it on the porch or even in the house if the wheels are clean.
That looks like a handy thing to have!
I want one !!!

My mom had bad arthritis and a bad back. After my sis and I got too old to play with our wagon, my mom stole it and used to for hauling stuff in the yard. Well, flash forward 40 years and my hubby and I were getting the stuff we needed for our new house and yard. He wanted to buy a wheel barrow. I am my mother's daughter..I ahve bad bones and RA. I knew I would never be able to handle a wheelbarrow, so I persuaded him that he needed to buy 'me' a wagon...and if he still wanted a wheelbarrow, he could get one. Well, we have had the little red wagon for about three weeks now and he keeps gbragging that he is really glad he convinced ME to buy the wagon insted of the wheelbarrow.
I can load a bunch of potted plants in it and take them to where I want to plant them. I can load a bunch of rocks in it, pull them to the new garden, and make a neat border. I can have DaveyBaby put a bag of cow manure on it and pull it to where I am working. It's great! It also comes in handy when going to a plant sale. I have taken it to the botanical gardens' sale and the Master Gardeners' plant sales and loaded it down with lots of pots before having to make a trip to the check out lane.
When my son was little, his dad and I used to go to festivals all the time. Every weekend from September till November there is a festival...and we went to all of them. In NW Florida where we lived, the soil is really sandy and festival grounds are usually full of loose sand...which doesn't work well with most strollers. After the first festival we went to, we quickly decided that would not work. The next weekend, we loaded my son's Little Tykes wagon in the car with some pillows for him to sit on. The Little TYkes wagons are made of plastic like the playhouses and thigns they make...they also have wide plastic wheels which work great in sandy soil. We had a ball pulling our son around the festival, sitting on his pillows (or laying down and napping when he got tired)...and never once did it bog down in the sand. We had several people try to buy it off of us. The following week we went to another festival and saw tons of wagons with kids in them everywhere we looked.
I'm a trend setter!!!!!!
Windy, I saw the same thing last week. I am putting it on my wish list for Mother's day. It looks so handy, I can't wait. And then again, I might not wait. I might go get me one sooon.
I have a little red wagon too, but I outgrew it. I now have a low cart with rubber tires. It pulls thru the grass so much easier and holds more. They sell them at Walmart, but I got mine elsewhere. I love it.
Way to go BamaBelle! (Trendsetter.)
Windy, I'd like to have your tub on wheels.
It was only $24.99! Not bad for the price. Wagons are cool too.
I remember when we were kids and the wheelbarrels were really made well with thick wheels. We used to give each other rides around my grandparents yard when we had family reunions. Of course we got dumped a lot by the boys. LOL
Being a kid was a lot of fun. LOL
I have one of these too. I love it. I use it instead of my bigger wagons. I can take a 15 gallon tree to the back yard so easily and it fits down my skinny paths wihtout a fight.
I also can take 3 - 2 cu ft bags of soil in one trip using it. I do not know how I got by without one. I even took it to the San Francisco Flower and Garden show in March to haul around the goodies I bought. I had so many stop and ask me where I had goten it. I wish I had a booth, I could have sold tons of them.
i have two carts and two wheel barrels. my first cart is the BIG metal one with four rubber tires. i thought is was great but when i load it up i can hardly pull it through t the grass. i usually have to attach it to my lawnmower to get it around. second cart is all plastic, very light, has a seat but doesn't hold much. have a regular wheelbarrel but also bought one with two rubber wheels which is much easier to use.
Do they have motorized wheelbarrels? I swear I hear a motor when my elderly neighbor uses his. Maybe not, but it sounds like something mechanical going on. LOL
They used to advertize a motorized cart on tv, but haven't seen it lately. It looked really handy going up hills with a full load.
I had a large metal cart that got very heavy. We found a rubbermade wheelbarrow and it holds up to a lot of abuse.
We found the cart after I told DH I needed something low to lift transplanted Daylilies and Hostas that weighed a ton. We found it instead of him building me one.

Yes, there is a motorized wheelbarrow. Pricey! I got my new D&R catalog and they are featuring it.

Wow! I'll say they are pricey. LOL
Windy, that's a nice cart you got there. Price is nice too. I may have to visit Lowes. Thanks for sharing.
cool cart! Will it hold/haul/support a bag of mulch?
It says it holds up to 130 lbs. On it.
I think it wopuld hold the mulch space wise as it is pretty deep.
Thanks--off to lowe's I go! I was using a dolly to haul the bags around back but the wheel got to where I can't inflate it anymore and dolly's are about $35.00 at HD.
