    I was going by rim size. The 4" wheels at HF are the 10" height.

    Brian, found one at Sears. Looks to be pretty heavy duty. Check it out!Gorilla 2-in-1 Utility Cart - Lawn & Garden - Outdoor Tools & Supplies - Wheelbarrows & Garden Carts I also noticed something about price matching so you might be able to get it for what HF has it for!

    I bought the grandkids "the digger" from northern tools for christmas. It looks like a backhoe. I was thinking of mounting it on the wagon. They would have a ball working in the garden then.
    Ditto on the read on down cb (about steering)

    Gotta have somethin' to cart-around them 10 Yank-Gewbs I'm fixin to spawn down here

    Mostly to haul 5 gallon buckets of grey water to the dump station, but I'll find other uses for it too. Can stick a cooler, chair, rods, and bait on it and pull it to the water if nuthin else

    Here's the thing about the steering, the one HF has doesn't pivot in the center when it steers (like the kids wagons), it steers at the wheels like a car, so it's more stable. I'd rather spend $20 more and get a better one. I'm not sure how the others are made, if they're cheaper than HF, there's gotta be a reason, and moving parts are a good place to start.

    The Sears one has a tie rod attached to the two front wheels!

    Yeah, but has the smaller deck. Been a while since I measured one, but I think 5 gal buckets are around 14" diameter? I may wanna haul a small watercraft on it someday.

    These (the HF one) got marked-down last night to $75 (from $109) if anyone's in the market for one.

    Was just in tsc and saw this one. Looks to be very well built.

    Well, put the wagon together today, all the assembly needed was sliding the 4 wheels on the axles and adding the washers and cotter keys to retain then, and putting on the handle (1-bolt). It was well worth the money, and I wouldn't expect to haul 1,000 pounds on it though, but never be an issue for me.

    I did drain about 40 gallons of grey water out of my tank and hauled it down to the dump station. I'll probably add a few inches to the handle length when I get back north, as well as get a barrel or tank so I can add a drain valve to it instead of using 5 gallon buckets.

    All in all

    Thanks again Charlie for picking it up for me!
