“The Swiss Army Knife Of Moving Stuff”
As FARM SHOW Contributing Editor Jim Ruen found out after buying one, the basic design is simple and switching attachments easy. They lock in place with a knurled knob and/or locking pin.
“They call it a GATr (Green Adaptive Transporter). It’s rugged and well-built, but so well-balanced, with patented reverse-grip handles, that you can move very heavy, awkward loads,” says Jim. “Whether lifting a large rock, a load of firewood, or a 16-ft. log, the load balances over the 2 flat-free tires. And the curved handles make it much easier to control when loading up or dumping whatever you’re carrying.”
The Rock N Logger is designed to pick up rocks, logs, and other awkward loads, which it grabs kind of like a grapple fork. Jim also bought a 6 cu. ft. wheelbarrow tub attachment that pops on and off as needed.
A 4-wheel conversion kit is available that turns the GATr into a 4-wheel cart with an expanded metal deck and wood sides. It can be pushed or pulled by a garden tractor or ATV. You can also add a push blade to the 4-wheel GATr for moving snow and other light materials.
The Willets have the GATr manufactured in Wisconsin and they sell direct. A GATr with the yard dolly, 6 cu.ft. tub, and Rock N Logger sells for $549 (www.gatrproducts.com; ph 920-770-0001).
