Agri-Fab Steel Utility Lawn and Garden Dump Cart for Riding Lawn Mowers, 750 lb Capacity with 12 Cu Ft Steel Bed and Pneumatic Tires

What It Is

The Agri-Fab 750 lb dump cart is a steel utility trailer designed to be towed behind riding lawn mowers, garden tractors, or UTVs for hauling mulch, soil, firewood, or yard debris. It features a 12 cubic foot steel bed that tilts to dump, plus two pneumatic tires for stability on turf or light off-road use.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your mower’s hitch receiver size. This cart uses a standard 1-7/8 inch ball hitch (not included). Most riding mowers with a rear hitch will work, but verify your mower’s towing capacity—this cart’s empty weight is about 130 lbs, and loaded with 750 lbs, you need a mower rated for at least 1,000 lbs gross towed weight. Measure the distance from your hitch to the ground; the cart’s tongue sits about 12 inches high. If your mower has a narrow rear frame or deck overhang, ensure the cart’s 42-inch width won’t rub against the deck or tires during turns. This is an OEM Agri-Fab accessory, not universal, but it fits most major brands (John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, Craftsman) with a compatible hitch.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Steel bed is sturdy but can rust if left outdoors; consider a coat of rust-resistant paint or store under cover. Pneumatic tires are good for traction but may need air seasonally.
• Installation: Simple assembly—bolts, wheels, and hitch coupler—takes about 30-45 minutes with basic hand tools. No wiring or brakes needed since it’s a manual dump cart.
• Common gotchas: The dump latch can be stiff initially; lubricate the pivot points. The 12 cu ft bed is smaller than it looks—it’s fine for light loads but won’t handle a full yard of mulch (which is about 27 cu ft). Also, the cart doesn’t have a tailgate, so loose material may spill on bumps.
• Weight limit: The 750 lb capacity is for evenly distributed loads. Overloading the rear can cause tipping or hitch failure.

Should You Buy It

If you have a riding mower with a hitch and need a durable, affordable cart for moving heavy soil, stone, or firewood around your property, this is a solid choice. It’s not for commercial use or huge loads, but for homeowners with 1-3 acres, it’s a reliable workhorse that’s easy to assemble and tow. Skip it if you need a tailgate, a larger capacity, or plan to tow behind a vehicle.
