I just got the 1500 lb. model, not because I need extra weight capacity, but I needed the larger deck for a generator, welder and propane bottles. I have a regular 5 x 10' utility trailer that I pull with the ATV for firewood, etc., but I wanted a dedicated cart for a mobile farm welding rig. The "portable" generator is a 248 lb beast, and I just don't want to deal with taking it off and on the trailer. So far so good with the Gorilla cart. I really like that it tracks perfectly behind the ATV and is slightly narrower than the ATV. If the ATV will fit through an opening, so will the cart. The downside of the cart is that it's impossible to back more than a couple of feet before it jack knifes. The short length paired with the articulating front wheels means I have to plan my departure so that I'm always going forward, otherwise I have to unhitch it. Fortunately, the articulating front end makes it really easy to turn around in tight areas before hitching it back to the ATV to depart. I noticed you have the forward tongue section installed upside down and I'm wondering if you discovered an advantage to that? The possible issues I see is that it doesn't seem like the cart tongue would stay upright when unhitched and stored, or perhaps not clear the trailer deck if turning 90 degrees?
Nice job - real use review. I would need it for projects like cleaning up downed trees and shrubs. And also simple things like hauling pots of plants to plant into landscape so need something heavy duty, long lasting, but also with the holes in bottom to let water and soil fall through the cracks
The bent part of the handle shaft is installed upside down but it doesn’t really matter, only difference is you can’t rest the handle in the upright position as easily
I have the same cart and with the handle installed the way you have it, it does not want to stay in the upright position when using the cart and manually pulling it. When turned over and installed, the handle will rest properly in the upright position used as a manually pulled cart and also allows easy connection to my atv.

You know, this this has been great. I use it all the time. No issues at all.
I was looking at this trailer. Good video
Thanks.
I still use it a lot. It was a good buy.
You are so right about the scripted reviews. They are never ending and so fake most of the time. Good job on the info.
I had the black junk one, that would twist and fall over all the time. Finally got fed up with it.
@@MountaineerMapleDIY I agree. Those are almost made for the power wheels tractor
Thanks for the genuine review.
I could be wrong, but I believe you have the handle installed upsidedown.
Your handle in installed backwards
No. It swings back to allow for hook up to a hitch.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should
