Customer Reviews for Polar Trailer 7 cu. ft. Heavy Duty Cub Cart

I have had one of these for about 4 years, I really like the big capacity but it you have to lift the handle really high setting the cart on its nose to dump everything out of it. this puts the weight of the load on the nose of the cart and my cart has large cracks in this area now.

Very good product for work around the home. The handle could be a little more heavy duty, it seems to be a little weak with a real heavy load. Over-all a good cart.

This is a very nice alternative to a wheelbarrow. The bucket is rather "light weight" so don't think about putting sharp objects in it. For moving soil, turf and tools, it is great. Easy to assemble despite the poor directions.

Picked up at store. Product was on back order but I was notified of this when I ordered carts.

Overall great product just wish the handle and frame were made of sturdier metal.

This is a sturdy, well built cart. I was not expecting it to be as low to the ground.

We used this cart for 11 months for hauling heavy loads of manure, compost and general barn and garden maintenance. At 11 months we noticed a split about 2 inches on the front lip of the bucket. Took it into our local Home Depot and they easily honored the one year warrantee and ordered us another one that was here in a week. The cart is strong, easy to balance and a great value. They might strengthen the front lip that takes a lot of abuse as you dump heavy loads, but I would buy it again.

Love it. simple to assemble. Easy to move around and maneuver. Easier to roll than a regular wheel barrel.

It seems to be very well built - like flat front for dumping - shouldn't break like others do. Ours is used in a stable settin - so will get lots of use - wish there was a 5 cubic one. A little large for some of the older ladies!!

After reading other product reviews I looked forward to a little garden cart that would last for a while before I had to repair or replace it. The cart is actually much better. All the parts were included, assembly was easy (cannot be done by yourself because of bin bolts), cart is maneuverable, and easy to dump. I agree that it will not hold 400 pounds of material easily.

The price was right for the capacity of the unit. Very stable while pushing and dumping. Good size wheels makes for easy rolling on irregular terrain. Easy to put together. Cross over handle makes it easy to hang on the wall with a single hook . Lite weight. Over all we are very happy with the unit.

The Cub Cart met our needs and has been used for several months now mainly to load and dump manure. It has been loaded to capacity with wet, heavy manure and pulled easily. Good value when compared to other carts and replaced one we had paid conisiderably more for. Handy size with many uses on the farm.

Hauled 4 yards of concrete from the street to my back yard. Loads remained very stable. Unit is balanced to tip forward when dumping and helps keep the load centered above the wheels when moving. Due to my own strength I was only able to fill the tub 1/2 way. However, based on stability and strength of the unit, loading it to capacity would not have been a problem. No parts missing as others have reported. Took about 20 minutes to assemble. I am very pleased with this product.

Ive owned this less than 60 days & the tub has already cracked. Im using it for horse manure only. It cracked in the center of tub near lip from dumping loads. Also it has a poor ergonomic design for shorter people, the handle is set too high causing the feet to drag when a shorter person (5' 4") pushes it.

Happily, I received all the parts I needed. The cart is easy to maneuver even when full of dirt, etc. Assembly was reasonably easy also, with the exception of the handle, which was difficult to slide onto the bars. One strange thing I noticed was that the bolts supplied to secure the handle to the side bars were too long for what was needed. They'd leave a fair amount of bolt sticking out that could impale the unsuspecting knee if tightened all the way down, so I left the nut screwed on to the end, and the bolt can slide freely back and forth through the holes. Doesn't affect anything, and that handle is so tight it'd wouldn't go anywhere anyway, but it seemed a weird size bolt to supply. Price was right, and it's every bit as functional as a wheelbarrow. For those that don't get a bolt or washer or whatnot.. it's a cheap trip to the store. I'd still recommend the buy.

I used it to move 12 yds of mulch. Had no problems at all. All the parts were there when I received it.

bought last fall. love the balanced dual wheel design. lets you haul a heavy load without spilling. rugged. great for homeowner use.great price. let a good friend borrow and he said it was the best ever. would buy again but looks like i wont need to! had all parts. i sprayed all metal with rubberized undercoating just to seal it all to prevent rust. researched dual-wheel wheelbarrows at ace, tractor supply, lowes, google, and home depot. this seemed best...and was!

After reading many reviews and ordering the company indeed does not have any quality control in this product. Washers and bolts are incorrect size or missing entirely. Directions say 1-3/4" and the bolts are 2". We have already spent an hour and half trying to get it together and will have to go to Lowes or HD to get additional parts. The directions are also incorrect and unclear regarding assembly. IF you are looking for a durable cart I would suggest the Rubbermaid 7.5 cart.

This is a great quality cart. I thought it would have a larger capacity though. Missing pieces which meant going all the way to Home Depot only to find out they didn't carry missing parts so they gave me similiar parts and it's together finally. Home Depot employees were extremely helpful and friendly!

It is well balanced, keeps the load on the two wheels. Assembly instructions were good and easily followed. Capacity is more than adequate for most homeowner needs and it seems rugged enough to serve for years of normal service.

I moved 10 cubic yards of bark mulch with this baby last month, and it worked like a champ. It's so much steadier and holds more than a wheelbarrow. It rolls smoothly and it never tips over. Like I said, it's a nice tool.

Quality product. Mine was missing the washers like some of the other reviewers stated. Great balance and easy to maneuver across hilly terrain. Great for gardens and moving mulch, branches, and yard debris because of the two wheel system. It is terrible for moving soil though.

Our yard is heavily sloped in areas and consists of river stone interspersed with native shrubs. This cart has already proven to be a back saver. it traverses the very rough ground with ease. I'd recomment it to anyone. We were missing some washers, too. A minor inconvenience.

The cart is exactly what we were looking for; deep tub, two wheels, well balanced, easy to maneuver and the cart components are made of sturdy materials. The reason for three stars is the missing hardware. When Googling this cart a common problem across numerious reviews is missing hardware. I had hoped that Polar had addressed the issue and gotten everything squared away in time for my order :). Unfortunately I was missing nine (9) washers, a bolt and a nut. not a big problem, HD had the parts I needed to get it put together, but it's the principle of the thing. I think Polar really needs to look at their packing and shipping process as the problem continues to be prevalent. Griping aside, the cart is perfect for hauling six yards of compost into the garden. It is very easy to lift and move. The tires work well across lawns and other uneven surfaces. the height makes it easy to dump into a raised bed garden. I'll let my son use the old traditional one wheel wheelbarrow. I would defintely recommend this cart with the caveat that the parts you WILL need are cheap. I need to add that I did contact Polar and they apologized and shipped the missing parts, but they would not get here in time hence my trip to HD.

This is the best cart that I have ever purchased. I am extremely satisfied that it is well-built and heavy duty. (Made in the USA) Before purchasing this cart, I did read the other reviews, which mentioned that they were missing some washers. I, too, was missing 4 washers and a spacer. Called the company and the missing parts were promptly delivered. If you’re looking for a cart that is going to last longer than the other less well made carts, this one might be the one that you’re looking for. I had no problems putting it together in less than 30 minutes.

I use this yard cart for bringing firewood into my walkout basement. It is very stable in soft ground with a full load.

Assembled exactly as described in the instructions (was missing two washers-that's the ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars). Indestructible tub. I used to have an 8 cu.ft. yard cart and thought this yard carts capacity might be "too small" but it's size is just right. With the knowledge I have now, if I needed a yard cart or a wheelbarrow I ABSOLUTELY would buy this. I especially like the feature of a single handle as opposed to two separate handles as on my previous yard cart and wheelbarrows I've owned.

this arrived on time, was easy to assemble, and a rugged cart. Easily lugs wood for the stove over all terrains, as advertised. you won't get a better, miore rugged cart for the money!!

durable , well built , and made here in the USA. like the balance when full and ease it moves with when full.

Purchased as a replacement wheelbarrow for horse farm . Very easy to maneuver around stalls even when fully loaded with soiled shavings. Perfect for smooth surfaces . A bit awkward pulling through wet / muddy paddocks. A longer handle would take care of that.
