You can do everything from plowing snow to hauling chunks of wood and pulling small utility wagons with this 2-wheeled cart called the Thunderbolt. New York entrepreneur Steve Brooks developed the patented cart through his company, Baja Shop Racing Ltd.
    The powder-coated Thunderbolt rides on 13-in. tires and comes with a 36-in. long, adjustable handle that pins into a metal receiver tube with a series of holes in it. The attachment fits into another receiver-type hitch.
    Different models are available to position the attachment above the tires, such as log tongs, or in front of them, such as a plow blade. The log tongs hook onto an L-shaped bracket that’s pinned to the square tubing, and a metal arm at the bottom keeps the log from swinging back and forth.
    Three different wagons are available, equipped with either drawbar or gooseneck hitches.
    “These carts are easy to use and built strong,” says Brooks. “I came up with the design after I hurt my back and needed something to move stuff around without re-injuring my back.
    “Our R15 model comes with a plow blade available in 24 and 30-in. widths. It works great for moving snow and other light materials, and also can be used to scrape manure from alleys and to push feed to cows in free stalls.”
    One attachment consists of 4 adjustable vertical metal pillars that are used to enclose small items for transport. The pillars are welded to a 12-in. sq. metal platform with 4-in. long slots in it. Each pillar is threaded at the bottom and secured by a nut, and by loosening the nut you can move the pillars in or out.
    “The pillars come in handy to transport a wide variety of items including gas cans, buckets, pots and more,” says Brooks. “They work great with a spray tank to wash your vehicles.”
    Three different Thunderbolt models are available. The residential R24 model has a list price of $250 plus S&H; the commercial R30 lists for $350 plus S&H. The R15 is a commercial model as well but only comes as a plow. Call for pricing. All attachments are sold separately.
    Brooks builds the Thunderbolt models in his shop and sells direct. Type in “Brooks Thunderbolt” to learn more on Facebook.
