One of the local golf courses recently sold off their fleet of carts, including the utlity/maintenance carts. My grandfather (right) had the connections to get my dad (left) set up with one for the homestead. I feel like I'll be the one using it most of the time, but I'm not complaining. Beats the hell out of a crummy ATV dump trailer. Has a 400cc Kawasaki engine and a pretty beefy hydraulic dump box. Leaf springs and knobby tires should be perfect for hauling firewood out of the bush, and it's got a hitch, so I can still tow my trailer behind it. Score!

Nate, I love the repurposed horse trailer. There’s a dual axle “home made” trailer on our local Craigslist for $500. Looks like it was once a horse trailer (my sister had a horse and the wheels look just like pops old trailer). I’ve often daydreamed about grabbing it and converting/making a dump trailer outta it.
Thanks, glad it’s not any longer, hard to find places to turnaround with a trailer where I go, and will hold just over a cord. Best part is it was free, boss loaned it to us for our kids 4-H pigs and when I went to take it back he said just keep it.
That sounds like it would be a good trailer. Dump trailer would be very nice!

Thanks Steve,,, finding some leaves or those berry clumps may help, if I go back there... I'm going to dry out a small split of it, and see how it burns...

Any of you bicycle riders do things like RAGBRAI? Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. This year it ends in Clinton, Iowa, just a hop, skip and a jump as the crow flies from where I grew up.

It starts in Le Mars, Ice cream capital of the world.
