I checked Ebay earlier....must've missed them

Just checked again only finding poly. What if you got the poly and lined it with 3/8 plywood at the area they break. Are you only hauling firewood or wet stuff? That one 10 cu ft poly looked pretty good with the dual wheels. Very few 10 cu ft anything

Largest with steel tub & pneumatic tires is only 6cf.@ Grainger; I want 10. Rentals Unlimited was a dead end. The only landscape supply I've checked so far carries none at all

BIL also thought Grainger or Home Depot may special order for you.

That's all I saw tonight. What about lining it to make it stronger

I hadn't thought about plywood. I tried finding another tub to set inside as a liner.
I still have the frame of the 1st one I had. I was trying to come up with a design using plywood & lumber for the tub, but couldn't figure out anything suitable.
At one point I had a deer cart that worked pretty well (after I popped sheet metal on it so the wood wouldn't fall through), but it just wouldn't haul enough at a time, even before a falling limb crushed it.
I also have an old yard cart, but that would entail pulling a load to the house with the 4wheeler, going back to the woodpile, dropping the cart, getting the 4wheeler turned around, & re-hooking the cart for another load....nowhere to turn around near the woodpile, and backing a short trailer is akin to pushing a rope. Besides, the 4wheeler would tear up the lawn too much.

Also a possibility

I gave my metal one away. Much heavier than the poly and I don't put much heavy stuff in it.

maybe something like this?

Quote: That just might work. I'll see if I can adapt it to the old 2-wheel frame I have. Thanks a bunch.

This thread never ceases to amaze me; whatever you need, there's always someone around here that can help you find it or build it.

That'll haul some wood!!!! Good idea
