Hmmmmm? 🤔 Do you ever OVERLOAD it heaping above the expanded metal side boards, or can it not handle being that "OVERLOADED!!!"?
I go above just a little bit so as the load doesn't fall out. This is just one of those cheap sheet metal yard carts that I've extended the sides on. Not really made for that kind of weight I put on it. Hardwoods too.

Well then that being the case! Anything that's pushing max OVERLOAD capacity? Weather it be a Tonka truck or a CAT pit mine truck? An oil tanker or a tea spoon? Is going to be at the point of mechanical break down. If you're putting more weight on it than it was designed fir? then you are now pushing max capacity! Therefore your wagon is definitely "OVERLOADED!!!" Good on ya! Because...

You ain't loaded unless you're "OVERLOADED!!!"😉

We've owned a 12' AL C&B trailer for 30ish years.. It was loaned out way to often and the only issue has been the wood decking, untreated, rotted out this past winter sitting, again not at home. I have no question that C&B makes good kit.

Gransforsbruk forges and builds top line hand tools! 👍

This is the sharpest double bit I've ever come across, and it stays sharp!

Granfors makes awesome stuff. I've looked at that axe a few times on their site. Convinced myself i didn't need it, now I look at it again I'm like... ******* that's a cool thing! The handle is quite short however, and even though we have no culture of double bits as far as i know the 'Ochsenkopf' brand seems cool: https://www.ochsenkopf.com/en-de/pr...ouble-bit-model-canada/ox-16-h-1008---1591223

They call it their 'Canada' model, says enough.

No idea if they're on par with a Kelly or whatever though... If I would acquire a double bit, it would need to be one that fits the original use/purpose, so with two different edges, whether you need to put them on the bit yourself or not.
