I have two carts, one is one of those 'kit carts' where you supply
the plywood frame and the wheels, handle, etc are supplied by the
company. It's a wide flat cart with large wheels. One of the wheels
finally lost (split or rotted) the rubber off of it after about 20 years of
service. I do occasionally have to replace one of the plywood
boards though.
I like it because it isn't tippy, can hold a lot of (whatever you're
hauling), and the bigger wheels make it a snap to roll over any
terrain.
I also have a small plastic deep cart, useful for different things but
not as overall functional. Smaller wheels, lightweight, and smaller
carrying capacity. The good thing about this is that it's light enough
that if I haul stable cleanings to the compost, I can just flip it and
it's emptied. The bigger one is more awkward to empty like that.
Troybilt: We just bought a tiller this year but Lowe's carries them
now. Maybe they're going under a different name or have been
bought out by some company that can supply the chain stores
easier than primarily mail order like Troybilt has been in the past?
