Strong and light cart! I love it!

Hey, this thing is much easier to handle than a regular old wheelbarrow. Went together fairly easy. Directions could’ve been a bit more clear but no biggie. I use mine to haul “gumbo soil” around my yard while digging an area for a new driveway and thought I’d give this new styled yard cart a shot and I love it. It can take some abuse and has held up well as I’m not light on the tools I use.

I'd buy again

Delivered to me today, very timely. Wet easy assembly. Put it together myself in about 30 minutes, easy to follow instructions and I'm no geniius. Pretty decent wheelbarrow, not comparable to a traditional wheelbarrow because of the handles but it's decent. We'll see how it holds up, feels pretty sturdy.

This is the best wheel barrel I have ever owned, and I've gone through a few!

I live and work on a farm. Single wheel barrels tip too easily and require one to carry too much of the weight. Wheel barrels with the tipping tongue protruding out front get caught up on uneven ground. Wheel barrels with skinny wheels sink too far into the mud. Metal barrels bend out of shape. This wheel barrel does none of that. I can load a couple hundred pound of feed in it, and easily push it through thick mud into the barn. (I am a 58 year old woman.) When tipping out a load of muck, the barrel pivots on the wheel axis. I love this barrel.

Excellent wheelbarrow for ease of use and stability.

Received this yesterday, assembled it in the evening. That took about 45 minutes (had to round up a helper to install the 4 bolts through the bottom of the tray through the separate axel and support bar). All parts were present (including washers!), nothing was missing, and the only thing left over in the box was a self stick logo (obviously optional :-). No factory holes were out of place that I noticed. Even the tires were properly inflated and holding air. From prior reviews, I conclude that either 1. Polar Trailer has greatly improved their quality control and instructions, or 2. I got lucky, or 3. My handyman skills easily dealt with what may have been obstacles to others, or 4. Perhaps some of each. One tip at the beginning of the instructions I think is very important - do not tighten any screws or bolts until after the entire wheelbarrow is assembled, which I took to heart. This I think helped especially when attaching the two bent pipes which form the handles and legs. I think without the slack provided by loose bolts elsewhere it would have been difficult to get the upper bolts installed through the tub, these pipes, and the auxiliary plastic support blocks. As it was, they went in easily. The hardest part of the assembly (other than rounding up my helper, needed for all of five minutes!) was sliding the upper handle loop onto the lower pipes - and even that was no big deal - it just needed a little persuasion from a rubber mallet. All in all, I would rate the assembly as between better than average to moderately difficult. The latter end of the range would apply not because of physical difficulty, but perhaps to those not familiar with hardware names and abbreviations. For such folks I can see that the instructions would be hard to read and understand. There are illustrated parts diagrams which help, but instead of direct labels in easily interpreted English, each component is identified with a code, which must in turn be cross referenced in a parts table, which table uses descriptions a bit heavy with abbreviations and hardware jargon. Would this be worth a star de-rating? Not for me, but your millage may vary. The only improvement I will pursue soon is changing the supplied spring clips (retaining each wheel) with cotter pins. As another reviewer observed, I can see how it would be easy to lose a clip - the clips have weak spring action so are not very secure. But this is a minor issue, easily corrected. In use, it works excellent for my purposes. Not very wide overall (under 30"), it readily fits between rows in my garden and orchard. Wheels are tucked under and near the center of gravity so very little force is needed to lift and roll. Wide tires don't sink into soft soil. Loop handle is elevated high enough I don't have to bend down to reach it. For me, dumping is no problem. If I were a contractor mixing cement in the tub, I might find the extra "indents" and contours (which apparently help stiffen the plastic tub) inconvenient. And someone prone to toss large logs or rocks from a distance might not find this plastic tub durable. But if I were someone with heavy duty concrete and/or earth/rock/log moving needs, I would probably be younger and would go for a traditional steel tub - like my last wheelbarrow which lasted 40 years but which was admittedly heavy and I found increasingly awkward to handle, so even if it hadn't finally rusted out I am glad to have found this to replace it. This puppy is just right for my needs now - lighter, more stable, easier to move, yet with a volume capacity that from experience works very well for me. Of course, I don't expect the same longevity as my last wheelbarrow. For my garden use, I do expect the tub will outlast the rear handle and frame. I'd bet with outside storage (within a mile of salt water) it will be no more than 10 years or so before the latter is rusted through. Hope I'm wrong, but even if right I can probably slow down the process with some spray paint as needed, or otherwise live with it. Definitely would recommend.

Works and assembles as stated you just need to follow directions.

Works just as advertised. And it didn't take fifteen minutes to assemble as long as you follow directions and don't tighten anything until you're done assembling everything. Some might prefer the dump style cart but for the money.....you can't go wrong with this thing. We hauled four yards of river Rock into the backyard with it and tote fire wood to the pile etc. I would suggest you keep it under three hundred pounds unless you really need that workout but it does just fine.

well made, looks like it will last

You really need a screw gun and 2 people to put this together. I have owned 2 wheel barrels in the last 20 years and they both had wood frames that did not last. This looks like it will last a long time even if I keep it outside. I am pleased with it for the money.

Great product

After reading some of the reviews I was a little leary about this cart. It arrived in good condition on time as always with Amazon. I am seventy two years old and it was very easy to assemble. It took me about forty minutes by myself to assemble this product. Its very well made with all the machine bolts the right length. The diagrams are self explanatory and easy to follow.I would highly recommend this cart with my only wish list being it had been eight cubic feet instead of seven.

Nice alternative to wheel barrow for light-medium jobs.

I purchased this instead of a traditional wheel barrow because can be hung for storage out of the way, instead of requiring floor space. I needed something to move around dirt & sod, and also to mix quickcrete in. Mixing 1 80-lb bag is easy and this unit handles it flawlessly. Mixing 2x bags (160-lb) plus water, this unit starts flexing and twisting, hinting at maximum load capacity. I am quite confident that if I attempted to mix 3 bags (240-lb) plus water, this unit would have collapsed, or the tube framing bent during attempt to move it or tilt. However, 2 bags at a time were fine for what I needed (mixed 20 bags total) and I'm overall pleased. It also handled a dozen heaping loads of sod / dirt mixture quite well. The two large tires do a great job of helping keep balance / stable load.

Amazing cart!!

Was leary about this and when I got it I almost returned it because it said light duty on the cart and Amazon advertising said heavy duty..and the tub went narrower than most carts where the wheels are attached. Decided to keep it..didn't have much trouble putting it together and after using it for two months really love it. Clearing land so putting large loads and moving it over rough ground..it is a work horse!!! I love how easy it moves , it's light weight and we'll balanced. Most of the time I can move it with one hand with the cross bar being a plus over two handled barrels. I haul it up and down hills and and haul firewood to and from the the wood shed. Buying another just for the barn.

A very good wheelbarrow to use. Works as promised.

I started using this out of the gate the day I got it. It is GREAT! Love it and Amazon is cheaper than Lowe's :) Building it wasn't easy, but I managed by myself in about an hour. Overall it is very sturdy and is comfortable to handle and the day of getting it, I gave this a workout hauling bags of fertilizer, topsoil, sand and several loads of pea gravel. I don't understand the complainers about the building issue. It's like putting together any wheelbarrow. Though, I will admit, the instructions could have been a little better.
