Easy to maneuver! I moved 1 truck load of wood chips with this cart and it was so easy to push, pull, and dump by myself. I have only purchased it recently so I don't how it will hold up with wear and tear but at this point I'm very pleased with this item.

I've read reviews about this cart being toy size, I disagree. I moved 27 cubic yards of mulch this spring using this cart. It is of the right size to slip in between the shrubbery and dump the mulch where it was needed, no need to shovel off the cart. The large wheels made it easy to maneuver it over dips in the yard, stone pathways, etc. You need to keep in mind that it isn't made of steel and is not intended to mix concrete or haul a load of bricks or other heavy-duty jobs, but it still can do many jobs and is definitely not a toy. Assembly is a bit tricky. The instructions state to not tighten anything until everything is in place and screws have been started before tightening everything down. I followed this and I would say that rule is almost mandatory.

Great size, easy to move and dump. Big tires good on uneven ground.

BOTTOM LINE: This 2-wheel Marathon Yard Rover is relatively cheap, went together fast, is steady & maneuverable around the yard, doesn't weigh much nor take up a lot of space when stored. Just keep in mind that you can't overload this light-duty wheelbarrow and expect it to hold up for very long. Cheap not only applies to the price but the overall construction as well. It's good enough for occasional light use, so I felt it was a good investment. 4 STARS

THOUGHTS: My wife had an old steel, single-wheeled wheelbarrow that had been her father's but the metal pan was really getting rusty, the wooden handles were pretty rickety and the weather-rotted tire kept losing pressure; making maneuverability a real struggle hauling a full load of dirt or gravel. Construction guys who use them all the time might be able to make a single wheel unit do everything except dance, but for the average once-in-a-while / weekend project homeowner like me they feel shifty and often downright dangerous. So when I decided to replace our old one the dual wheel option seemed a far more practical choice. All of the hardware needed was included in a shrink-wrapped package, including a little allen wrench to speed up the assembly process. It went together in less than 30 minutes. My only cheat was that I skipped the included hardware for attaching the plastic pan and bought stainless steel nuts & bolts instead, plus I added 4 large fender washers to help distribute the pressure from the 4 bolts over a wider area, so hopefully the plastic tub won't crack - or at least not as quickly.

To date we've hauled bulky garbage bags, wet leaves, lumber, dirt, mulch, landscaping gravel and other misc. junk and so far it's handled it all without incident. Just remember: this wheelbarrow isn't a solid steel, construction-grade piece of equipment; it's a lightweight, occasional-duty weekend warrior tool. Load it on the light side and you should get years of reliable service out of it. Another bonus: the light-weight design also means that it's easy to hoist up and store out of the way during the off seasons. I hung mine up on a couple of nails on a rafter in my garage. Sure beats tripping over it during the winter!

UPDATE: Now in its 3rd year of ownership, I really put this thing to the test over the summer, tackling a long overdue project to bury my sump pump discharge line. After renting a trencher and digging a 110 feet long by 4 foot deep trench, I used this seemingly flimsy plastic wheelbarrow to haul 5 TONS (!) of pea stone that I poured below & above the length of corrugated pipe I put down [see photo]. The cheap little Marathon Yard Rover held up like a champ! I have definitely gotten my $45 worth out of this bugger ...and it's still going strong! :-D

A good little wheelbarrow for home garden use - DEFINITELY not for construction use or hauling large rock, bricks or pavers or landscape blocks or such. Time will tell if the plastic bed can handle lower temps in fall or spring use, or if it cracks. Placement of the axle and wheels is such that it readily turns on a dime, and almost all the load is centered over the wheels, not the handles, so easy to haul loads (very little weight on the handles) - though that also makes it more likely to tip over forward if the wheel hits an obstruction and stops unexpectedly.

Wheels are inflatable, so you will probably need a tire air gauge and a hand air pump - not included - or an air compressor to top the pressure off after coming out of winter storage)and good wide rough-terrain type. With the inflatable tires it rolls a whole lot easier than a wheelbarrow with rigid tires like most light-weight wheelbarrows have. Because of the large, wide tires it goes over tilled dirt easily, and also does not leave a groove or depression in the lawn.

A couple of notes - the bed mounting bolts (which use rubber washers between the bolt head and the bed to prevent point loading no the slightly curved surface of the bed) stick up from the bed - near the bottom of the "back" edge of the bed (the side toward the user) and also at the front of the bottom of the bed. So this wheelbarrow should be considered a load-and-dump type only, NOT one where you will be using a shovel to remove the load a shovel-load at a time (like when doing multiple plant plantings or broadcasting dirt for lawn top dressing or such), and definitely not for mixing grout or concrete, because the shovel/hoe will constantly hit the bolts and rapidly destroy them and the gaskets. I strongly recommend putting a fender washer (not provided) between each of the four bed mounting bolt heads and its rubber washer to protect it from wear and tear and sunshine.

One other review talks about needing only a crescent wrench (channel lock pliers, open end or box wrench of right size, or socket wrench will work too) and a large slotted screwdriver to assemble it - mine came with allen screw hardware and a matching allen wrench, so you only need your own wrench to hold the nylon insert locking nuts while using the allen wrench provided to tighten the bolts down. No screwdriver needed.

One assembly comment - the assembly instruction picture for the first step of assembling the frame does no quite match what mine looks like - make sure the axle (which goes through tubular brackets welded on the frame) runs across UNDERNEATH the frame pieces, not on top of them - otherwise assembly is per the pictures in the nicely done manual.
