M26S Large Yard/Garden Cart with Semi-Pneumatic Wheels

Great garden cart, so easy to pull and/or push. So many uses it's more like a small pickup than a wheelbarrow! Makes work easier: cleaning up yard debris, hauling split wood to the woodpile, gathering branches for the burn pile, hauling hay. Just a real workhorse and easy on the back. It also looks real cute in the yard with a couple potted flowers when the work is done. Worth every penny.

Great cart. I have had one for decades and bought this for my gardening daughter. Who had borrowed mine which I want back. Got the solid tires which is an improvement over my model. Have had many blackberry punctures in mine over the years.

Ergonomic! Holds a lot. Back saver!

The Vermont Garden Cart is an incredibly good product for the home gardener. I have been using one for about 12 years, can't get along without one and wore out the old cart. Be sure to keep it dry because the sides and bottom (at least on my old one) will dry rot. The solid tires are a big improvement - no more flat tires. If you haul large chunks of concrete like I did, be careful because they can damage the bottom of the cart.The quality of manufacturing is not what it should be. I had to cut wood away from every single factory installed screw insert before I could screw screws into the inserts. The metal edge protectors on the plywood sides and bottom were out of alignment with most of the holes and I had to loosen many of the factory installed screws and bang the edge protectors into proper alignment. There are inexpensive competing products. I tried two of them to save money and they are absolute garbage.The assembly instructions are better than average but there's room for improvement: there are no enlarged drawings of potentially confusing aspects of the construction. For the high price of the cart, I was expecting flawless manufacturing and easy assembly.

Great cart. Went together easily. The only thing lacking was a sealer on the wood other than the stain. Before I could use the cart I put a couple of coats of polyurethane sealer on all the wood so it would clean out better. Nice solid rubber tires. Good directions.

I love Vermont, let me be clear about that. I graduated from Brattleboro High School, in fact. But this cart is a bit of a bad deal from a great state, in my humble opinion.I know that the slight damage from shipping is not to be put at their door...but the quality of the wood--actually, the lack of it--is to be put right there, at their flimsy wooden door. "Exterior grade plywood"? Says who? Do they not realize that some of us gardeners out here recognize exterior or marine grade plywood? Sending the wrong length screws--really? Sending less than the right number of screws of the correct size--? Theirs, again. Their door is falling in.Assembly is required...fair enough. How about clearer directions/illustrations? And, a tube handle that will actually extend outward a full 18 inches, per their own directions? The tube handle was apparently extruded incorrectly, so that it cannot extend the full 18"--and that critical leverage is what makes this style cart so easy to use. We worked out a full 17 inches..no more.The solid tires are not pneumatic. Nor are they Semi-pneumatic. "Pneumatic" comes from the Greek, Pneuma, for wind. The only wind here is in the mislabeled advertising. Frankly, I don't care that the tires are hard as a Mother-in-law's heart..just don't lead me down the garden path, so to speak. Not even a politician has enough hot air to blow up these tires.My total bill was $468.49. Shipping for this cart was $79.49..and it was not qualified for Amazon's Prime program. I suppose that I was expecting that this cart, for which I had lusted during the last 20 years, to be done well. Almost 500 bucks worth well. As for you, IF you want some advice, and that much money means a lot to you--don't do it. It pains me to write this review...but Carts Vermont needs to repent for overcharging the public. I am only writing this review because someone needs to call Carts Vermont on their shoddy product..IMHO.On a positive note--there must be a million of us out here in our yards and gardens who really want a rugged outdoor cart that will stand up to the weather and the hard use we require of it. This is an opportunity for Carts Vermont or some enterprising person to come up with a similar idea--well-executed, well assembled, and well done.

Although it appears to be a well built cart, (now that I finally managed to get it together); the quality control is abysmal. Holes don't line up meaning the machine screws won't go into the threaded inserts. If I didn't know better I would guess Vermont was now located in China with QC this bad. Doesn't anybody check these things before they go out the door???Make sure if you buy one you have a hammer, crowbar, awl, big pliers and a Dremel Tool handy; you will most likely need all of them to put this together. I just hope it STAYS together!! I needed my Dremel tool to grind away metal to get a few screws in and had to reinstall a few T-nuts that were misaligned and had to clean out more than a few to get the screws to go in. I also got an incorrect part for an accessory so I couldn't finish the assembly. This gives a whole new meaning to "some assembly required", it should be, some assembly, fabrication, modification and rebuilding required! Also invest in at least a dozen 1/4-20 acorn nuts so you don't have to risk getting a cut hand on exposed bolts. I guess for $389 they just can't afford to include them...So to summarize, keep this in mind if you decide to purchase one:If you are not extremely handy you may need to hire Bob Vila to put your cart together.I wrote the company a long e-mail telling them of my concerns with quality control and my need for a replacement part and guess what...they never bothered to reply to my e-mail...now that they have my money; although supposedly they sent the missing part and a "note" about my concerns. I'm sure it just says---sorry!So I guess quality control AND customer service are lacking at Carts Vermont. Hopefully I never have any problems with this thing.A pretty sad testimony for a 30 year old company and almost a $400 item!!
