Customer Reviews for Brinly-Hardy 850 lb. 17 cu. ft. Tow-Behind Poly Utility Cart with Durable Compression Molded Bed for Lawn Tractors & Zero-Turn Mowers

I have used this cart for 5 days now and am very pleased. It utilizes rugged parts and will hold up well for my purposes. I have to tow it over a couple of acres of rough pasture with my lawn tractor and it does this perfectly. Best of all, the assembly was super easy for a product of this nature. I have in the past gotten frustrated by complicated assembly procedures on other manufacturer's products. The directions and especially the parts packets provided by Brinly were well laid out and very intuitive to use. It took me a little over an hour at a leisurely pace to assemble which was great for someone of my limited mechanical abilities. Would recommend these Brinly carts to friends.

Very handy, light weight and strong. Great for moving wood around my property behind my ATV.

I have owned a 10 cu.ft. Brinly for past 8 years and used it extensively on my acreage. Bought a new more powerful Husky lawn tractor and a Brinly 17 cu.ft. Polycart. The carts hold an amazing big load of gravel or anything and never give you a problem. Can’t be beat!

I got this to haul our garage can down our one mile driveway and it works great!!

Soooo glad i went with the 17 cu ft rather than the 10 cu ft. It wasnt too bad to put together besides taking some time to do it. Quality appears good as well as the aesthetics. No complaints so far.

Really nice trailer, good value for the cost. The only issue I had was with a grease fitting on one of the wheels. It pulled out when disconnecting the grease gun and I could not get it re-installed.

This dump cart broke on the third load. The connecting bar to the tractor has very thin metal and snaped at the dump mechanism in two pieces under a normal load. The dump mechanism is also made of weak parts and occasionaly causes premature dumping, The design does not allow for effective dumping. You will have to load the cart and unload manually.

I can really fill it up

Sturdy well built cart. I expect many years of use. Brinly should be commended on their assembly instructions and also their hardware packaging. Excellent! Best I've seen in my 73 years. Thank-you for caring about the consumer.

This garden cart is dynamite, it came in a good size box - the size of the cart body - one piece molded and sturdy poly. The instructions and part lay-out is superb - especially the plastic covered nuts and bolts layout with each section of assembly broken down by outlined sections of nuts and bolts. The wheels are already assembled on their rims ready to put onto the axle. They felt a little low - so I aired them up prior to first use. The caveat: I tried to follow the directions to grease the wheel rims where they rode on the axle but when I placed my grease gun on the fitting, grease came out everywhere. It took me 30 minutes before I could find my tiny wrench kit that was part of anyone's tool kit in the days of mechanical distributors and frequent need for adjustment of points, etc.....I now forget what size the fittings were but the wrench box side fit it perfectly and tightened both wheels grease ports down snugly. Why they would ship the rims with the fittings finger tight I don't know. But do check them and make sure to grease them often.

It was really easy to assemble- very utilitarian-

As with most of the reviews, the instructions for the release latch could be better written with some pointers included. I am an engineer with pretty good mechanical abilities, and it gave me fits. This was due to the low quality kep nuts provided. I went to hardware and purchased better ones. The ones provided had the washer coming off when attempting to get them thru the spring mechanism. New ones went right in with now problems.

LOVE THIS CART. EASY DUMPING. MY WIFE EVEN LIKES USING IT. WE HAVE A LARGE YARD WITH LOTS OF TREES. COMES IN REAL HANDY HAULING LIMBS AND CUT UP TREES.

Works great been using it since they received it seems to haul anything I needed to.

I had to reinforce the triangular bracket that is at the front holding the cheap plastic tub to the frame for dumping. I installed two pieces of flat stock (metal plate) going across. The cart was missing washers as well. It’s not a great cart for the load capacity the company claims it can handle. Definitely not worth the $400 price. Invest in a better quality yard cart.

perfect to service my acre and a half lot. durable and works great

So far, so good. If you're wondering whether it will fit in your car, it fit—without removing it from the box—in the back of my 2016 Subaru Impreza hatchback. One of the Home Depot employees was kind enough to help me lift it high enough to get it through the widest part of the hatch (I was able to unload it by myself at home). Assembly was pretty smooth—no missing parts, good instructions, and you don't need an extra pair of hands if you lean the tub up against a post while you're working on it. I wish they had included torque values for the bolts though. I also used thread lock and double-nutted everything as some reviews indicated they'd had loose bolts. Tires are nice. Build quality feels quite good. The tilt function works, but as other reviews indicate, not everything comes out unless you unhitch the trailer or are parked on an incline. This shouldn't be surprising given the shape of the tub. My first use was to tow it behind my lawn tractor about 7 miles (round trip) to pick up a rented 8 hp rototiller that wouldn't fit in my car. It worked great, the tilt function made it easy to unload the tiller, and when I was done, I was able to get it back in the trailer by myself with the help of a couple of 2x6's acting as levers to lift the tub until the tilt lock engaged. Since then I've used it around the yard a bit, and I expect to get plenty of use out of it when a wheelbarrow just won't cut it.

Handles everything I throw at (or in) it - gravel, firewood, even a crate full of chickens.

The foot release mechanism barely hangs on. Nothing like dumping the load after hitting a bump, could be designed better. 2 ratchet straps makes it hold. Itherwise very nice cart

Great for using around the house! Right size for carry anything you might need to

This Brinly is great. Very sturdy and was easy to assemble. We are very happy we decided to purchase it. It was worth every cent!. Thank you

Hooks to my rider and we go all over our property with all my tools right there with me!

Just what I needed to move stuff around the yard.
