I think I've come full circle. First I thought I wanted a cart, then we had no need for one, now we're back into the "I can use one," category.
My intenet is not to start a brand war or a pissing contest, but to ask opinions and experiences.
First, let me explain what I think I'll need/want and the usage. We'd be cruising asphalt streets, my concrete driveway, and some crushed granite (small compacted stuff) on my property. We'd be hauling bales of hay (usually no more than one at a time) and other small items, but nothing heavier than a bale of hay. We wouldn't need to tow anything with it (although if the opportunity presented itself, the boat (if I still have it) and the horse trailer). That's about it.
I'm not too terribly interested in lookie loo paint jobs, stock white is okay with me. I would want to lift it (4" to 6" I guess is common), have the appropriate wheel/tire combos, have a top on it, and a flipflop rear seat. That would pretty much be about it.
I've spoken in the past with TOBTEK and Mrs. Casean about these carts. That was right before we decided we wouldn't need one. They were a great help then and I'm sure they still will be.
Is it worth the hassle to purchase a cart and then lift and add the above items yourself or easier to purchase one already done? Bang for the buck, I guess.
What are the pros/cons for the 3 biggie brand names?
What are the pros/cons for electric vs. gas?
What would you do different next time?
Thanks in advance.
