Not sure exactly if this belongs here or in the general section. For a number of years I have had and routinely used a “heavy duty” poly dump cart to pull behind my ATV for a bunch of various tasks - hauling and stands, blinds, wood, hauling deer out, etc. It’s one of those 300 dollar Ohio steel units you can get at TSC. Anyway it’s been fine but I almost crushed it hauling a few smaller logs out of my woods and have always found it a giant pain to get a big deer into the cart by myself. I often find myself killing deer in places I can’t get anything but my quad back into and end up hauling them out 1/2-3/4 of a mile or more and it looks like I’ll have the same problem at the new farm. That being said I’ve been keeping my eye out for a better option for a while. I ended up running across the Bannon carts on northern tool and fell in love with the larger of the two. I ended up with a bunch of NT gift cards so decided to invest in the 1600# capacity Bannon cart and Milwaukee battery powered grease gun. I finally picked both up from the store a couple weeks ago and they’ve been sitting in my garage since. I finally had a day to put it together today.
I can tell you that while I haven actually used the cart, it’s everthing I was looking for. This thing is awesome and going to be just the ticket for all my needs. The included chainsaw and utility tool holders are going to be a HUGE benefit when clearing trails, hanging stands and doing general maintenance. The drop gate will easily let me drag a deer up in the cart with ease. The thing is built like brick shit-house and weighs a ton. I put it together by myself in about 3 hours but it would go quicker and easier with a buddy and 12 pack. Everything went together seamlessly and the only real pain I’d filling each of those wheel bearings. My first impressions are very good and I don’t think there’s much I won’t be able to haul with it’s 1600# capacity. If anyone is looking for a nice cart you might take a look at these - they have a 4 wheel and 8 wheel model. 1200# and 1600# capacity.
