Gorilla Carts Heavy-Duty Poly Yard Dump Cart, 6 Cu Ft Tub, 1200 lb Haul Capacity, Black – Towable Utility Wagon with Quick-Release Dumping & Pneumatic Tires for Landscaping and Gardening

What It Is

The Gorilla Carts Heavy-Duty Poly Yard Dump Cart is a tow-behind utility wagon designed for use with lawn tractors, garden tractors, zero-turn mowers, and ATVs/UTVs. It’s built for hauling heavy loads (up to 1,200 lbs) of soil, mulch, firewood, or yard debris, with a quick-release dumping mechanism for easy unloading.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Hitch Type: Requires a standard 2-inch hitch receiver (most lawn tractors and zero-turns have this). If your mower has a clevis-style hitch, you’ll need an adapter.
• Tongue Height: The cart’s tongue is fixed at about 13 inches. If your mower’s hitch point is significantly higher or lower, you may need a drop or rise hitch adapter to keep the cart level.
• Deck Clearance: Not applicable—this is a tow-behind cart, not a mower deck attachment. However, ensure your mower’s towing capacity exceeds 1,200 lbs (most garden tractors do; smaller push mowers do not).
• Tire Size: 13-inch pneumatic tires; check that your storage area has clearance for the cart’s 48-inch length and 30-inch width.
• OEM vs Aftermarket: This is a universal aftermarket cart—no OEM-specific fitment issues.

Key Things to Know

• Assembly Required: Takes 30–60 minutes with basic tools (wrenches, socket set). The wheels and hitch need to be bolted on; the tub is pre-assembled.
• Dumping Mechanism: The pull handle releases a latch, letting the tub tilt forward. It’s manual, not hydraulic—heavy loads may require effort to dump.
• Weight Capacity: 1,200 lbs is the static capacity; for towing, stay under 800 lbs on uneven terrain to avoid tipping or stressing the mower’s hitch.
• Tire Maintenance: Pneumatic tires need periodic inflation (up to 30 psi). They’re not flat-free, so check pressure before heavy use.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a lawn tractor, garden tractor, or ATV and regularly move heavy, bulky loads like soil, stone, or firewood. It’s a durable, high-capacity cart that dumps quickly, but it’s overkill for small push mowers or light-duty leaf hauling. For $206, it’s a solid value—just confirm your mower’s hitch compatibility and towing capacity first.
