Good day and happy new year! I was so good last year that Santa brought me a new cart! But its not just any old wagon! Its a Heavy Duty 1400 lb cart! For Christmas my wife sent me her Amazon wish list. I sent it to both our sons and they said, "Dad, we will get Mom the dump wagon". I said, great! So, the other day we were walking through Tractor Supply. I saw this heavy duty cart for $150 bucks! I looked at my wife, she said; "if Santa is bringing me a wagon for Christmas, then you can get one too!" I said to her, "well since I'm Santa, and since I know what everyone is getting for Christmas, I'd better call the sales guy over and get him to load this baby in the truck!" She just laughed! I put both together in no time! Here is my cart beside her cart! It's going to be a good fig year this year!!!!! __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Congratulations Dennis. I was thinking about getting one for using around the property to move water buckets and use as a dump cart. Does it have slots for lumber lining? __________________ Sas from North Austin TX Zone 8B Wish list: Becane

Sas, all 4 sides can be removed or just hang down. There's a latch on every corner you can unlock. For a hundred and fifty bucks, I couldn't pass it up. If you look close at the handle, it can be removed or hang to the side allowing for the cart to connect to a lawn tractor. On my lawn tractor, I have a 1-7/8 hitch with a hole bracket allowing to connect to carts like this one. This is one feature that won my heart! Now, I need to get me a fork lift to pick up my trees! LOL! HOW BOUT THOSE FIGS!!!!!! __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Nice wagon! I second the tree-moving equipment but a bobcat is more versatile. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Dennis, Nice heavy duty cart Santa got you. It will definitely make it easier on your back. I bet you'll design a lift to put the big trees onto and off the cart. A new project for ya this winter. __________________ Zone 6a Sarver, PA Wish list; Rafed's Genovese Nero

Dennis, I'm sure you'll devise something to do the job. No moss grows under your feet. You always got something going on. If, or what I should say is "When" you make it, post your plans on here. : ) __________________ Zone 6a Sarver, PA Wish list; Rafed's Genovese Nero

Nice wagons Dennis, I have 2 from Tractor Supply and after 3 years they are still holding up except for rusting. Just take care of them better than I have, they are outside in all the weather elements of South Florida, never under cover.
