The wifes new toy

[crazy_dan]

she bought one of these to bring wood in from outside instead of a wheel barrow which is what I have been using for a couple years now.
It works pretty well and is more stable than a wheel barrow.
I have only used it once to fill up the inside wood rack so far I am pleased with it.

use the same one - works great

Put sides on it so she can bring up more wood ! :lol:

Got the green one a few years ago marked down to 59...it's OK for light applications, hauling kids etc. Make sure you tighten down all the bolts on the wheel rims, believe it or not they're split rims...who would have figured.

already did and with the sides on and folded up it does hold a pretty good load probably twice as much as what I got in the wheel barrow.

I bought one from H D the other day for 59.00, what a piece of junk!! I filled it with splits and the whole thing was bending and to hard to pull by hand. I brought it back and kept my money. I also went to Lowe's and they had one slimilar to it for 84.00. It to looked like it would bend.

mine has held up just fine

I have one of the red ones from TSC, and it does great with distributed loads, but point loads WILL make it bend. I'd reccomend putting a floor of 3/4" plywood or some boards in it to spread any loads better. I've also found that it pulls well, but does not do well backing up, the steering gear has too much flex in it. Still, it does a good job for moving splits around, and is otherwise handy. For the money it's not a bad deal, I just wouldn't want to use it for heavy duty work.

I have the Lowes version of that wagon and I love it! Been using it all season and it holds enough oak to fully load my 42" indoor wood hoop.. It is the best wood hauler I have used in my 20+ years of wood burning.. I find it rolls easily even fully loaded plus it's handy in the summer doing other things.. The paint on it faded pretty fast and it chalks too.. That has been the only downside.. Long as it doesn't rust out it should last. I added a scrap of 3/4 plywood that covers maybe 2/3 of the bottom and it has protected it well..

So far I am completely satisfied with it and it easier to move splits around in the yard to the house with than my old single wheel wheel barrow.
I only load it full probably about a foot rounded over the sides so the load is distributed well and it has not bent yet but I may add a piece of ply to the floor as to prevent it from warping and add a little more structural stability.

I got one of those several years ago at Ace and loved it until I pulled a muscle in my abdomen hauling wood....Found out pulling is a lot harder on the body than pushing.

I now carry wood by hand and kids use the wagon - their bodies are more forgiving than mine. ;-)
