So, ya didn't too much thinking into the design. Needless to say it did not survive the first day just on paved road. Lost both front wheels then the axle.

I'm in Humboldt and surprised I never heard the term Tugger used for other "recreations". Learn something new every day.

@brad-ott I don't know Bob except for occasional run-ins on Facebook, but his sister was in my high school class.

A surf fishing cart might serve your purpose, and be more durable.

I never did get one, but I looked at these pretty hard.

It needs bigger tires in my opinion. Ones that you can put air into. Check at your local lawn mower junk yard.?ÿ

I also think that you need a drain hole/plug in this. Its going to get water in it some day. Go to your local boat yard and remove one from the launching ramp. No, don't do that.?ÿ

A rack on it for lath and your range pole will ultimately be helpful.?ÿ

A solid handle will be better on a downslope than a rope. Visit your local golf course and when no one is looking take one off a rental cart. No don't do this. Ask, they probably have something laying around. Just wear a mask.?ÿ?ÿ

A cart like this wouldn't work in my environment (the office) or in the unfortunate moment when I am in the field. Too many sticker bushes for it to hang up on. Thinking of that, it could have a scabbard for your machete affixed to the side for easy access.?ÿ?ÿ

It does look like it would be a nice place to sit while doing calculations or having lunch.?ÿ

What would Colin Furze do??ÿ?ÿ

My GF has a heavy duty pull cart that's made for dirt, folds in half and is grated with cloth sides. She was wanting me to take it instead of what I made. I was a bit weary as it weighs a ton. Rethinking that position. The idea of having a good seat to rest is appealing.

@joki

Why don’t you just make your GF the “Pull cart”? ????

I bought one for moving our scanner and kit for road projects.  It is pretty heavy duty.

We have one of those.  Never thought of taking it along on a survey, though.  In certain cases it would be rather handy.
