Best Buy Landscape Cart
Michael Eschenbach, Boscawen, N.H.: “When I first saw the Rock Hauler Landscaper’s Cart from Rhino Tool Systems, I thought it was too expensive (www.rhinotoolsystems.com; ph 904-729-7315). However, as I began moving rocks and logs on my new 13-acre property, I had no one to help.
    “I had used a wheelbarrow, pry bar and even a backpack to move things around, but realized I needed something more substantial. I have a natural slope behind my house that goes up about 100 ft. to a rock outcropping. I was doing a lot of land art, including developing a small stage and an amphitheater on the slope where people could sit.
    “I decided to make the investment, and it’s been well worth it. I ordered the Rock Hauler Landscaper’s Cart and have used it to pry out large slabs of rock and move them as much as 1/10 of a mile. I even moved an 8-ft. long section of granite curbing, picking it up on the forks and locking it in with the clamp.
    “I’ve used it to move pallets and a giant log. I picked it up with the forks and moved it to the edge of the stage area.
    “The landscaper’s cart is heavy, and while it would be nice if it were lighter, it has to be heavy-duty to do what it does. The weight of the cart also helps counterbalance what is being moved. In the case of the log, I needed more weight, and my wife joined me at the handlebars to help lift the log and move it. Placing rocks on the expanded metal panel between the wheels and the handlebars also helps lift or pry big rocks out of the ground.
    “I’ve used the Rock Hauler Landscaper’s Cart for nearly every aspect of my project, including moving slabs for use in my patio-like stage. I have also used it to move in multiple large stones to stand on edge as Zen-style lawn art.”
