Yard Commander Steel Dump Cart 500 lb.

The price was the deciding factor in buying this cart. The cart went together without a problem. All parts fit as they should. All hardware was plated to resist rust and was of reasonable quality. I did add some wide washers on either side of the foot pedal to stabilize it on the pivot bolt, but other than that I was happy with the design and quality. The size is pretty small, but for my needs (mostly hauling dirt and flowers) it will be fine. My wife likes how easy it is to move by hand and attach to the lawn tractor.This cart is rated as capable of hauling 500 lbs, but I have my doubts. The sheet steel used for the bottom and sides of the box is pretty thin. I feel this should have been heavier material, but again for my use it should be just fine. It would be a simple improvement to add a 3/4" piece of plywood beneath the bottom panel and use longer screws to hold the cart together if I wanted to strengthen the box.I would recommend this item - with the caveat that for moving heavy bulky items you may want one that is more robust.Update after a season of use --The cart has been used constantly for hauling brush, yard waste and flowers without a problem. I'm pretty sure I never loaded it up beyond about 250 lbs. The cart has handled going through our woods over roots and bumps without a problem. Also, I added a 25 gallon sprayer and a small boom kit to create a sprayer and it has worked out very well. I liked the cart enough that I added some personalized touches as shown in the pix. The overall rating was updated to five stars and I would highly recommend this cart for light yard work as described here.

It took me nearly 2 hours to assemble this myself with basic hand tools. It felt a little flimsy coming out of the package. But once assembled, it feels nice and sturdy. The instructions were mostly easy to follow, excluding the last step, which wasn't very clear as to how the rear frame section should fit to the side and bottom panels. In fact, I may very well have it wrong as the bottom panel is slightly bowing between the screws at the rear edge of the cart. It doesn't bother me enough to take it apart and try again. Also worth noting, is that they must have updated the lengths of some of the hardware without updating the instructions, as the instructions referred to fastener lengths that aren't in the package. Being that there is only a few sizes of screws, it wasn't difficult to figure out. The hardware is nicely packaged and labeled, which was appreciated. For the price, I am very satisfied with the cart. The paint and finish looks great, and it seems well constructed. It should serve my purpose for light duty use in the yard very well.

Wish I had a helper with this, as I lost a screw in the grass. I also wish they added at least 2 more of the m8 screws, washers and nuts, as I can't find the screw that fell! No worries tho, had one that fit perfectly in my screw junk bin.The instructions were ok, could have been better, and the screw sizes were different from what I got as to what is in the manual. Not really an issue, but confused me at first.It's fairly easy to put together, until you get to the sides, an extra set of hands would have helped.All in all, I am loving my new toy! It's not expensive compared to others of the same, and, seems to be of good quality (good enough to put my kid in the back and take him to look at Xmas lights this year, tho, NOT supposed to do that with this! lol). I would recommend this.

For the price you pay you get a nice little cart that will haul the weight I jumped in it I'm 300 pounds my wife towed me around the yard with lawn tractor and I had a great day , then we filled it up with fire wood and hauled it , we've been testing it,and yes the metal was a little thin and flimsy but I'll be honest with you why don't you just shore it up with either cardboard or another piece of metal you'll be fine , it'll take the weight !!

Great little trailer, seems sturdy enough for most lawn and garden type chores. Little expensive and kinda tedious to put together but seems to be decent value for money spent. Its already helped me move some bigger rocks from an older garden and carried 5 or 6 8x6 fence panels at a time to the back yard for me. tough little trailer!

Great size for routine yard work. Easy to assemble. Made of quality materials. It should last us for a long time. ——-> UPDATE: We have had it for 2.5 months, and used it only a handful of times. It’s been kept in the garage too. Noticed today the tire is about to blow. I’ve contacted the seller in hopes for resolution. ———> UPDATE: Trailer has not moved since my last update, & the tire has blown. 😡

The cart came without an assembly manual but the seller provided me with a web-link the day I sent them a request. The cart is pretty good for the price. It's not heavily constructed, but you don't expect that for the money. It hauls a load of dirt behind the lawn mower very well, so I imagine it would be more than adequate for average use. Be careful during the construction process, like many well engineered components, the individual metal pieces are very bendable, but once assembled form a pretty stable platform.

Good product but didn't come with the enogh screws
