This cart does a great job of hauling firewood. Load capacity: 800lbs. A tractor cart that converts to a wheelbarrow The EZ-Stow Hauler™ is a big hit at our house. The Undergardener says: “This is really well-made and sturdy.” I use it to move leaves around the yard, to mulch my roses and perennials, to haul away pruned branches and trimmings from perennials and shrubs, and to move tools and containers around our property. But it can also handle heavy loads. Whether you’re using it as a wheelbarrow or pulling it behind a tractor, the cart is easy to maneuver and the center of gravity keeps it well-balanced. Ease of Use Once you’ve decided whether you want to use the EZ-Stow Hauler™ as a wheelbarrow or tractor cart, there isn’t much to do. Just assemble it, and off you go.

A hybrid shovel-spade, the HERS ® is designed by women, for women and comes in three different shaft lengths to accommodate differences in height. I loved the big handle, which allows you to hold it every which way, its light weight, and the oversized gripping tread.

It’s a handy place to get the scoop on the latest gardening gear and gadgets before you buy. You’ll find honest, no-holds-barred, objective critiques on everything from gardening gloves to power tools written by people who are out there in the trenches on a daily basis. Speaking of getting the scoop, my first review is on a hand tool called the Dee Weeder.
