Great functioning cart, unclear instructions

"Once put together right, the cart is great- well balanced, rolls well, etc. Instructions do not make it clear that there were a left leg & a right leg & which side you put them on was important. So when I had the cart almost completely put together, I realized I had the L & R backwards & had to take it all apart again."

Good cart, needs better instructions

October 1, 2012
Byvagabondrider
fromNew England
Expertise:Intermediate
"Assembling the cart wasn't too hard until I got to the last step...and realized that it matters which "leg" goes on the left vs right. Checked the instructions- no mention or picture indicating which to put on which side. So I had to take the whole thing apart & reassemble from scratch. But once it was put together, it has been a great muck bucket cart. Well balanced, rolls well over varied terrain. Muck bucket fits inside securely. I had another muck bucket cart years ago that was quite rickety & not nearly as good."

"We use this cart for everything. Hauling manure, landscaping debris, gardening tools, etc. Used our previous one for 4 years before it broke and we replaced it. I will be thrilled if the new one lasts as long."

"Bought this recently as a present for a barn owner -- had to disassemble/reassemble it twice, since it had no instructions. It looks like it will fulfill its purpose.
I've had a previous version of this product for several years. It came with directions, was sturdier, and the screws/bolts were much better fitted to the frame."

"I opened the box to assemble the cart and there were no instructions. I got it right after two try's but that took waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.
once I went to put on the handle the little bumps that allow height adjustment were placed on the wrong side of the tubing so they would not latch.
I would have returned the product but I needed a cart pronto so I drilled my own holes and Mickey Moused it on. I have had one of these carts before and it was not a mess like this one. It would appear the manufacturer needs a bit of quality control. For $60 you would assume the item would be of some sort of quality.

"This is great, because it turns a muck bucket into a mini wheelbarrow! We have two of these at my farm, and I like them a lot! These are also GREAT for shows! Very happy with this product."

"this muck bucket cart has the best balance of any I have used. You can actually use just a couple of fingers to move it from place to place, even with a full load. The wheels are not inflated, but solid, so will not go flat like some of the others. One drawback, it is a little high in the front, so when full, is hard to lift bucket out. As with everything, wish the price was lower...but worth it."

"I had the same problem with this cart as the previous reviewer. I do use the cart regularly and over varied terrain, and it is very useful. However, the axle on mine also came off completely. I think if this part of the design were fixed, it would be a terrific product."

inherent design flaw

"I've had this product less than 6 months and liked it a lot initially. It was easy to maneuver and pulled well although it was a little tippy at rest(I suspect that's intended so that the bucket can be emptied easily). This morning however the entire axle fell off because it is only attached to the frame by two small welds both of which had broken. The cart hasn't even been used that extensively because I primarily use a wheelbarrow for mucking so I can only think this is an unfortunate design flaw in an otherwise useful product."
