    Have the same setup but it's an 8 not a 10. Works great for a lot of things. I've used the heck out of it and glad I have it. Got mine for 50 bucks at lowes when I bought my bagger. Dude assembled it wrong and returned it used so the manager wanted to get rid of it. Having had it for a while, I would pay full retail and be happy with it.

    Multiple uses, has a slide in tailgate.
    Holds over 1/4 cord, big tires are easy on the yard & great for off road

    I have one like the agrifab pictures people have posted. I think its 17cuft . It has a slide in tailgate and has grease zerks on the wheels too.

    Had to replace a valve stem a few months back cause the original one from like 12 years ago had split. I can put all the wood that I usually load in my short bed ranger in it (I have a toolbox so its not that much).


    I have some pictures of it stacked way up I just can't find them on my phone?

    I've been reading this thread, and I went and bought the Brinly 10 cu. ft. yard cart at Home Depot, last weekend. Used it for a few days, I didn't like how flimsy the tub was, probably would have held up fine, but I am kind of obsessive about stuff, so I took it back to HD and got my money back.

    Did get one pic of it in use.

    I am planning to go to harbor freight and either buy this,

    or this,

    That's a good idea , I think I would go with the smaller one though for what your doing .
    I had one that size hauled my 3 wheeler on it

    . I turned it into a motorcycle carrier chariot type thing, haven't used it in a long time I have been thinking about hacking it back down to what it was for Firewood.
    before I did that I used to hook it to the three wheeler and give kids rides

    I have a 15cf JD trailer that I have had for years. I've used it to haul wood, rocks, dirt, mulch and anything else that needs hauling. DSC01244.JPG

    I built this from scrap I had been hoarding. I used wheel bearings from a cavalier bolted to a 3" axle. Brand new spare tires free from scrap yard. Only money i spent was some treated lumber for the floor. image.jpeg

    I did the same a few years ago, and man, what a nice change. The pin setup is just a PITA.
