Several supply companies, including Northern Tool, have very large "little red
wagons" in their catalogs. Some with removable stake sides and all with large
wheels to roll well on grass or dirt. We recently bought a garden cart at
Walmart for 49.95 plus tax, has clips on the side for hoe or rake, small
compartments along the top sides, one of which is covered, and the handle is wide
and flat and folds back along the wagon/cart to make a seat. It has large wheels
and the front wheels are steerable. I like it already because I can haul my stuff
out to the garden and then sit on the cart and push it along with my feet. Sure
takes the strain off my arthritic ankles and knees. I've also hauled 30 full size
brick in it with no problem.
