    Great idea, what about when it's snow covered/icy?

    Love the Kubota!

    So many uses for a good hand truck. I've had one like that for a good long time. Anyone thinking about getting one, get a good one. There are cheaper ones that bend too easily. I like to use a thin piece of plywood on the back. More contact areas, less likely to have the load slip off.

    Mmm, if there was a way to have some way to put bars at the end of the lifting plate you could stack more wood on each load.
