I have used both the midsize and large garden carts from Carts Vermont for years and have been extremely impressed by their durability and usefulness. You can pile these carts high with branches, leaves, bales of hay, tools, or even your children.

The weight capacity is 400 pounds on the large cart and 300 pounds on the midsize cart. You can also order them with solid-core tires, which are virtually indestructible. My large cart (pictured), which sits outside in all types of weather, has provided me with over 10 years of reliable service.
