There is a guy locally selling a DR Powerwagon -asking $600. I believe this is the 8.25 ft-lb model, which lists 800 lb max load.
My current method is to haul 4 cords of wood from my side yard onto my screen porch each fall. I use use my crummy Murray riding mower with turf tires pulling a 10 cubic foot steel garden cart. It works OK on flat spots, but gets stuck frequently on any slope or wet ground. I also have to manually unload each stick to transfer to log carrier and carry it up the 4 wooden step to my porch.
Getting to my stacks after the snow flies is not really practical.
I was thinking that the Powerwagon would let me load in the yard and drive directly up a set of ramps onto the porch without transferring. Dimensions indicate the wagon would fit through the screen door with 2" to spare on each side. If a cord of dry splits weight 3,000 pounds, I figure it will require 3,000*4/800 = 15 trips.
Has anyone found a Powerwagon or Superhauler makes this fall chore easier, or not worth it?
