Product Reviews

From the Manufacturer
Effortlessly carry all your yard supplies - mulch, compost, topsoil, and tools with a Flowtron Handy Hauler. Constructed to last from rugged, durable structural foam resin, these carts feature flat interior bottoms for more balanced loads and large diameter steel axles. Comes fully assembled.


Great Value!
I bought this cart after reading many positive reviews. I am very pleased with my purchase. The cart is very study and easy to handle. It is well balanced and holds a lot of gardening supplies and/or clippings. With my bad back the cart is a life saver for this old gardener.

PS-it comes completely assembled and ready for immediate use.

Poor quality
I put a bag of potting soil in the cart and lifted the handle to take it
where I needed it. The handle broke immediately.

Handy Little Cart
Bought to replace the old Step2 cart which we cannot find anymore, this one looks like it is going to be a winner. It has already hauled leaves, limbs, hay bales and about 150 pounds of rock at a time and it is doing just fine. Poor little thing got lucky and ended up the only working cart on the place besides my toddler's John Deere wagon.

Now I'll just have to see how it goes in the long term, the old Step2 is 10 years old now and the tires are split apart, the bottom is cracked and I've had a couple of the bolts rust out, so the poor thing has been relegated to leaves hauling only, but it took a beating in its time. The only thing worrying me is the little legs on the back, the Step2 was more flush to the ground which meant you could use it as a sledge for bigger loads.

And like one of the previous commenters, I wish someone sold the accessory rack. I can probably rig one, but it would be nice to have one that just dropped in and out as you needed it.
