Questions and Answers for Hampton Bay 250 ft. 4-Wheel Garden Water Hose Cart

A:  The leader hose is approx. 4 feet in length. Just long enough to be able to move the cart around a bit.

A:  About 3ft.

A:  About 6 ft, remarkable hose cart

A:  About 4 feet.

A:  5 feet

A:  It spins on the shaft.

A:  The handle is used to roll up the hose on to the reel

A:  As depicted in the hose reel picture, the handle used to wind it up is attached outside the reel on the opposite side from the cart handle for moving it. I've had numerous reels over the years and this is the best ever. I expect it to last at least 5 years or more. All the other plastic ones have cheap hardware and are useless after a season or two. So well worth the extra money.

A:  Its attached to a shaft with a nut

A:  It rotates freely around the crank spindle

A:  Yes, they are. at he back, opposite the crank handle, there is a 90 brass elbow the short connector hose also has brass fittings. I have two on some property and they work well, no leaks. I have 175-200' (can't remember) of 5/8 hose and they handle it well.

A:  The T coupler is galvanized, but the swivel is brass.

A:  The water fittings are brass the rest it metal

A:  Mw: Both. One is galvanized iron an the rest are brasss. I hope that helps, Hank

A:  They are brass.

A:  You would have to use 1/2 inch hose to get that much on this reel

A:  1001: I have a 100 feet of 3/4 commercial grade hose on mine and they claim it will hold up to 250 feet. I believe it but I' think that would pretty much fill it up. I hope that helps, Hank

A:  5/8

A:  5/8" is what I use.

A:  1/2 dia hose

A:  No, assembly is required. Socket set will handle almost all of the bits which need assembly.

A:  Elnando: No, but all the pieces are there and some assembly is required. I like to use wrenches rather than pliers, if you have them, and follow the directions step by step. We moved from California and I didn't want to disassemble ours to ship it so it went with the house but as soon as we got here I bought another one and assembled it. The assembly instructions were straight forward and very easy to follow. I hope this helps because I love my 4 WHEEL HOSE CART, it really beats dragging a hose around. Hank

A:  Some yes, but mostly no.

A:  Mostly and it is very easy to finish with no complications.

A:  Hello Elnando, No this item does not come pre-assembled. It is not difficult to assemble but you need basic tools such as a screwdriver and adjustable wrench. You might check at your local HD store. I think many of them offer assembly of this type of item.

A:  Yes. You will need to use the included hardware to install the shade.

A:  No, but the assembly is very easy. Your local Home Depot may offer assembly services if you require that so you could call them and check that out too.

A:  No. Some assembly required.

A:  No it does not.

A:  does not come pre-assembled but it took me 5-10 minutes to assembly. easy to follow instructions.

A:  The manual does not have the tube size (nor is it on the tube). The hole in my tube is not reparable (it was actually a blow out/rip from sitting in the sun). My guess is it was inflated to the top end and the sun did the rest. Home depot does not carry these in the store so it must be purchased on line but they have quite a few listed. The issue is finding the correct tube size with the correct valve stem (it is not a straight stem).

A:  If it is a puncture go to your auto or tire store and get a tubeless tire repair kit

A:  NorCalGardener: Mine is going on four years old and that's a problem I haven't faced yet. Although one gardener asked me about a tire replacement and I advised him to contact the manufacturer if they didn't have it at his local Home Depot or on line. I never heard back from him so I guess he must have found one. If it's a cactus garden you're tending you might even want to look into one of those green slime lined tubes as a replacement. I did that on a wheel barrow and it only requires occasional refilling. I hope that helps, Hank

A:  Try Harbor Freight

A:  Hampton Bay is a Home Depot Brand. And the Packaging shows Hampton Bay only. Liberty Gardens from what I can find is NOT a Home Depot Brand.

A:  I believe this is a Liberty Garden product produced under the Hampton Bay label. Hampton Bay is a Home Depot owned company. The photographs are pretty much identical, even the owner's manuals are very similar. In fact, the unit I purchased from HD in 2017came with a Liberty Garden model 840 Owner's manual.That's a model still in production at Liberty so without having called either Hampton Bay or Liberty customer service, I am going to proffer the opinion that they are one in the same. I guess the relabeling took place sometime after my purchase date. Hope that helps.

A:  I'm not sure what the brand is, but it's well made and strong. I bought this one for my water plant where I work. Plus it's so well made and with the four tires to move it easily , I'm thinking of buying one for my home.

A:  Hampton Bay

A:  Looking at the manual it is a Liberty Garden product but the Liberty Garden model number is 840. I believe LG makes these and when they are sold at The Home Depot they are included in their Hampton Bay line, thus the Home Depot model number of 840-HB. I have had mine for years and it is still working with no problems or leaks. It is built tough and I have 150 feet of 3/4 inch hose on mine. Also, the support is there should you ever need help or parts.

A:  I'm sure it could, but not 250 ft.

A:  If your hose has the same 3/4" fittings as a 5/8" hose, I would say definitely yes. Total footage capacity would be be reduced proportionately by the larger diameter of 3/4" hose hose. Also be prepared to do a lot of touch-up painting if you care what it looks like and how long it lasts. The frame is carbon steel with a low quality enamel(?) finish. The unit I bought came with a few scratches which began to rust immediately and spread from there.The finish also oxidizes quickly in the sun. I use a rust converter spray paint which seals it and I will eventually respray the entire frame with it and and then overcoat with outdoor rated paint, maybe that rubber stuff as seen on TV that keeps your boat afloat.

A:  Yes. Have been using 3/4" for over two years on this hose reel.

A:  yes, I purchased this cart specifically to handle a 3/4" 100' commercial grade hose. perfect match.

A:  Yes.

A:  Yes will handle 3/4” hose; however very dissatisfied with the paint / cover, started coming off in first year.

A:  Jake: That's what I have on mine. I hope that helps, Hank

A:  Yes, it is very strong and I have 75 feet of 3/4" hose on mine and it handles it easily. What I do when I roll mine up to make it lighter and easier is I turn the hose bib off, then open up the end of the hose so that the water drains out as I roll the hose up onto the reel. Also if you pull the end of the hose up to the reel then you wind it up your only pulling on half the weight of the hose. It just makes it easier but this reel it tough and can handle it all.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes that's what we use is a 3/4" hose. And that's what it's set up for.

A:  They air rubber and stand up very well, a great high quality cart

A:  Tires on mine are rubber. Rolls quietly. Bought it over a year ago. Need to reinflate the tires each spring.

A:  They are high-grade inflatable rubber tires mine have lasted for years and are still in great condition.

A:  They are rubber.

A:  They are a heavy rubber.

A:  rubber tires with inner tubes to fill with air. same concept as bicycle tires.

A:  Rubber

A:  GrandpaBob: I can only comment on mine. It's going on 4 years old and it came with air filled pneumatic rubber tubes and tires. They need occasional refilling but it gives me a much smoother ride and easier turning pushing mine around the yard rather than the one I had years ago with plastic wheels like you described. This 4 Wheel Hose Cart s a big improvement. I hope that helps, Hank

A:  Rubber.

A:  Inflatable rubber tires. I recommend leaving the cart in the garage or under shade. The sun cracked my tires after a year or so sitting outside in the sun.

A:  20 pounds maybe, high quality

A:  It weighs about 25 lbs empty with no hose on it

A:  I have two of these. I’ll have to guess at the weight. All metal, sturdy and probably weighs around 20 pounds without the hose wound onto the rack. With the hose on and filled with water, the weight goes up a lot. My biggest disappointment is the quality of the tires which go flat easily. Solid tires would be a better design.

A:  The product weighs 30 pounds.

A:  DanDependable: I'm sure the manufacturer can give you the exact answer in pounds and ounces but I can assure you it wasn't too heavy for a seventy-seven year old arthritic male with three herniated lumbar discs to unpack, assemble on the bench and put on the ground. The four wheels have made it unnecessary to pick it up ever since and a fifty foot hose full of water would be additional weight but the mobility of the 4 wheel hose cart in my garden proved to be a great addition, I hope that helps, Hank
