Muck Cart

Assembly is required, but it’s not hard to do by yourself. I put the cart together by myself in under a half hour. I didn’t get this for a muck bucket, but for the trash can that we have in the back yard for picking up dog poop. The trash can can get heavy and pulling out the bag and dragging it to the street for pickup sometimes causes tears in the bag. This cart works wonderfully for my purposes. The handle is tall enough to pull the cart with the trash can loaded up and there are no more messes to clean up. I also don’t have a chance to throw out my back lifting it. This is a great and sturdy cart and I’m looking forward to using it over the years.

I am very happy with this cart. I use it for gardening, to haul a 70-qt muck tub full of dirt or mulch or a 32 gal trash can full of yard waste around a steep yard with some steps. A wheelbarrow just won't work. It is also very handy to be able to remove the muck tub or trash can to transfer stuff. You can't dump it like a wheelbarrow, you have to remove the tub/can and then dump that, but that's not a problem me. The cart is well-designed and well-constructed with solid quality parts. The wheels in particular have good bearings and tires. It's very stable. The kickstand is easy to manipulate with your foot. The cart was packed well. with all the metal parts in plastic sleeves to preserve the finish. Assembly was easy except for two problems. First, one of the nuts holding the wheels on was missing the nylon lock insert. This was easily replaced at the local hardware store. Second, the instructions don't supply an important piece of information until after you need it. This applies to rev 8 of the instructions, dated 3/12/10. Step 1 tells you to attach the frame base to the handle supports. The left and right handle supports are marked with L and R stickers but the frame base did not have any orientation information on it and the drawing doesn't help. The left and right link assemblies are already attached to the frame base but it wasn't obvious which was which which. The side view drawing for Step 1 omits the link assemblies for clarity. The Parts List doesn't show the right link assembly at all so you can't compare it to the left for clues. Here's the key. The drawing for Step 2 shows the link assemblies in the correct orientation. So for Step 1, orient the frame base so that the link assemblies have the tab in front when vertical. Then they will collapse forward when lowering the hoop. The cart came with stamped metal wrenches but assembly worked much better with a socket wrench and a crescent wrench.

Absolutely one of the best carts out there. The instructions are great and it came with the tools for assembly. The most difficult part was assembly of the tires and required thinking outside the box since my arm reach didn’t allow me to assemble to the frame without having another person help hold one wheel. It’s a wonderful cart to also use for moving other items besides a muck bucket. I like that it folds up especially. It’s pretty heavy duty and well worth the cost.

I have been very impressed with this little cart since I received it in August -- it's been handy for lots more than just hauling a muck bucket around. I've put it through its paces: every day I stack a couple of hay bales on it and haul them from the haystack to the corrals (2 fit nicely, 3 are a little unstable), hauled lots of boxes on it, multiple buckets of feed, just about anything else that I need to move and don't feel like carrying. When loaded it's maneuverable and balances well whether you're pushing or pulling it (I REALLY like the fact that it is balanced well enough that it CAN be pulled behind me) even in mud, muck and snow, stands easily without falling over, and the little footstand flips itself up and out of the way when you pull the cart backwards about a foot. The top hoop sits high enough that anything that extends beyond it on the sides don't drag against the wheels. It's light enough to toss into the back of the pickup without effort -- I even hauled it across town in the back of a Subaru along with a bunch of boxes that I was taking to put into a storage unit. It's been more useful than a regular hand cart. When it arrived, I was a little leery that it might not be strong enough, but it has stood up well to practical everyday use around the stable very well. Assembly was very easy -- good instructions and not much in the way of tools needed. Good design, easy to use, couldn't ask for a better product. Thinking about getting another one to actually use for the muck buckets.

Have used several different kind of muck bucket carts. we use this cart every day. It is great.

The cart is solid and well-built, with great tires and frame. However, the instructions are confusing. I was missing a few small parts, and while the seller was responsive, they couldn’t locate them. I sourced the hardware kit myself and was refunded $31. Assembly required extra effort, including searching photos online to confirm part orientation. Despite the hiccups, I’m happy with the final result and would recommend the cart—with a heads-up that you may need to troubleshoot missing parts or unclear instructions. First two photos show parts are missing.

Easy enough to put together and works great easily moving a loaded muck tub and other heavier loads. My kids mainly use it after cleaning their animal’s stall and shed. Definitely beats dragging around a heavy loaded muck tub.

Makes long rodeo weeks/weekends much easier. Make sure you put the kick stand on correct or it’ll take your ankles out pulling it.

Easy to assemble though when uncertain about one step in the process, Miller Manufactiring was most helpful in leading me through the steps (with photos and a phone conversation). The trolly really helps me avoid putting stress on my back - useful for carting trugs of soil around the property and for taking garbage and leaf bags to the street. A great investment.

Sturdy and well made. Will certainly last the test of time at the barn and on the circuit.
