I used Slime on my riding mower tires for a couple of years. It dries out over time and doesn’t really seal that well. Finally took the tires down to ACE and had them put tubes in them. Seem to work much better and they can be patched.

I lucked out and found an overland EC-27 electric cart for half price. The original owner bought it to develop his sloped backyard and then needed his garage space back. It is a great work saver and can haul wood,chips, rocks and dirt. Handles up to 750 pounds of load and works great on hills.

Those are nice. Glad you got it for a discounted price.
Wonderful. We happened on our cushman in the same way. It has been a lifesaver. What a great Christmas gift to yourself.

I need an upgrade! I bought mine, all assembled, at the end of the season at Lowe’s (got a deal) and I love it! But it doesn’t have those slots for sides which I’d love and the payload is “only” 600 lbs. (which is fine for my purposes). So I bought a metal one (again on sale) that has sides (just like the one someone else shared) and I use that for jobs that don’t involve dirt. I’ll never get another wheelbarrow!

I got a lighter duty one. When the tires needed to be replaced i got whole new wheel w/ tire for 5.99 ea at harbor freight. But it’s a little too light duty and not big enough - maybe. I guess when I fill it with rocks I can barely move it. I’ve had to weld the frame back together a time or two.
That is a nice looking cart. What are the slots in the top, do they sell side extensions?

The side shoots are probably to slip in side extensions.
Super kids assemble 7 cu ft gorilla cart. I’m impressed.

@Auburn … I had a birthday Sept 3rd… my wife got me one of these for my birthday.
Model GCG-7, 7 CF, 1200 lbs carrying capacity, 500 lbs dumping load capacity.
I just spent a hour or two putting it all together and getting rid of the boxes.
it looks impressive and easy to handle… the easy dump feature will sure come in handy.

It didn’t look like it to me, but mine has really taken a beating and keeps on going. I’ve over loaded it with huge rocks plenty of times.

Any carts with rugged wheels for use on grass or driveway, but flat and low to the ground, to move fig trees in large pots u don’t want to lift too high n mess up your back 
?
I think i read some of those gorilla carts you can remove the sides.

I have one just like it! And I do the same thing . . . hook it to my ‘orchard ride’. Mine’s not as ‘professional’ as yours, and it’s not running at the moment . . . a John Deere Riding mower. Everybody laughs at me because I attach it to the back of the mower with the same thing I use for almost everything else . . . my trusty black rubber bungie cords.

I’ve used this cart for about 4 years now and I have no regrets. Although you can pull it around I usually hook it up behind my riding mower.

I also have another cart that the sides can be removed. I occasionally remove the sides if needed.

The dump feature is nice. I mostly use the dump feature when I’m moving limbs to the roadside where the city will pick them up.

I have an old honda 4 wheeler ATV … 250 engine… bought it new in 1987… 2400.00… that has been setting in my shed for a while.
It will not start now… but I am going to take it to a local guy that repairs them and get it fixed up.
I used to use it for mostly deer hunting… it has hauled 100s of deer from down in the woods… to my truck.
It has the type of hitch that the gorilla cart needs. Should work well for pulling the cart around.
I used the cart … manually pulling it yesterday evening and it worked well that way. I carried 4… 5 gal buckets and my old watering can and watered all my new starts from this year. All that water was quite heavy… having a 4 wheeler to pull that around would sure make it easier on me.

I have a little red metal one, with drop sides. I use it to hold and store my 10 gal sprayer - which I also pull around with the riding lawnmower. I cannot spray effectively while ‘driving’, but I can park in a spot where my long sprayer hose will reach several trees. Then I walk around. Much more efficient and thorough. I can stand upwind of the spray that way, too. Once the tank gets to half full - I can just pull it by hand. Saves time.

My husband mounted three solar panels to our gorilla cart.
The panels are at a slant and we put our goal zero batteries inside the cart and he rolls it around to catch sun during the day when there’s no snow.
He put silicone between the panels so when it rains, no water gets on our solar batteries.
