I picked up one of these about 3 months ago:
http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/groundworkreg;-heavy-duty-dump-cart-1400-lb-capacity
Moved about 3 truck loads of wood into the house with it. Wife likes the looks and it has dump capability. But over time, in colder areas, the plastic might get brittle and in sunny areas the same. But for $100 its a pretty good solution.

Price not bad but i do think 3/4 of a ton would crush that unit. A bit over rated. LIke the 1000lb rating of a garden cart from harbor freight. I wouldnt attempt HALF that .
We have a couple and she uses them more than I do....she likes the less tipsy ones, though.....like those big honking plastic ones!
See? They can't resist the call of a Rubbermaid garden cart....
I've had one of these for almost 15 years and only replaced the tires once. My wife loves it.
I bought this and never use the wheelbarrow.
