I've had that garden cart for 30+yrs, Always stored out of the weather.. The front panel slides up and out for longer items. The back end of the floor, is showing a bit of bend/sag, on the metal cladding. It's moved tons of wood over the years. The only real concern about weight, is wet ground and leavng ruts. I stack, not drop, 2 courses of wood in it. I start mounding when the wood reaches the top of the sides. Beging that the front extends over the wheels, it lifts easily with the axles taking the weight. The hubs aren't complaining, after all this time. Most of my racks are spaced to get it easily between them, plus some wiggle room. One of the best investments I've ever made.
I decided to layer up and head back out to the woodyard. For about 3hrs, I did some CSS'ing. I topped of the white oak rack. Came across some red maple, that I tossed aside before we had an established snow pack. I pulled several limb pieces out of the snow. I'll get to them eventually. Pulled a number of small fallen branches together. A future fire pit for them. Just cleaning up in the small woods we have.
Here is today's version. Garden Cart - Medium | Garden Wagon | Yard Cart - Garden Carts - Gardeners I bought it at a local garden supply place, assembled. Maybe $180, back in the day. Get on their mail list. They send out various coupons, throughout the year.
Back at it this morning. Splitting some red oak... cleaning up that area. Then some cutting and splitting of some red maple And stacked it the rack that had sone ugly red oak on it. It got covered. The longer rack behind it, has another 2yrs to go. This short rack will be added to, over the next few months. Here's the white oak rack, topped off with red oak My fire pit sticks Still some icy snow between the stacks So, yeah... this-n-that
I was looking at a company called Vermont Carts in hopes that I would actually get something made in America. looking at one made by Vermont Carts. Hoping to get one made in America. Anyone up there know anything about them?
