If you think about it, sneak a peek at one of these wagons:

I have one just like but it has sides and a tailgate. I like it but you have to keep it painted if you leave it outside. For that price or a little bit more you should be able to get one with sides and the tailgate unless you don't want them. I not sure if mine is rated for the same weight. I think mine is rated for 800 lbs. Good luck, Wes
Thanks Wes! I don't need the sides, and could scuff and repaint it while it was new, probably wouldn't spend much time outside though (just when needed).
Did yours come from HF?
TSC has one, $10 cheaper, but has a flat plywood bed.
You just going to use it around the camp? If you decide you want one I could go pick it up for you.
Sent you a PM Charlie
Check out the one at Home Depot, I like mine.
GroundWork® Garden Utility Cart, 800 lb. Capacity - 3599008 | Tractor Supply Company
I found one of these on the side of the road. It had 5" wheels on the front and 6" wheels on the rear. Rusted out rims. I caught the 4" wheels at HF for $3.50 and have been using it for some 5 years like that.
I'll see if I can find one online, I'd like to have 24"x 48", I don't need the weight, just the size (and 10" tires).Quote:

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.
What you gonna do? wheel around the campground pickin up beer cans, just get a shoppin cart, free at any grocery store. If you go inside you can get a battery operated one.
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!

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.Quote:

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. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/06/ama4a9up.jpg
Stand it up and take a picture of the steering for us.
Cray picked one up for me today :ThumbsUp
Thanks Charlie!
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 :ThumbsUp
Thanks again Charlie for picking it up for me!
Good deal Neon hope it works for you.
Neon, I know you will be very happy with it. They are so strong you can load them with more weight than you can pull by hand. I connect mine to my lawnmower and pull it around. It is a lot more fun for the lawnmower to pull it than for me to stain my guts out. Wes
That would be great to pull my cooler and oxygen tank thru the weigh in line at tournaments.
