Amazon.com Product Description
The Precision Products LC1900GY 17-cubic foot trailer cart is a handy tool for many purposes around the yard or farm. The large and strong cart, designed for trailing behind a tractor, holds up to 2,000 pounds for even the biggest jobs. It's ruggedly constructed and features a heavy-duty 16 gauge powder-coated steel bed (measuring 58 by 34 by 14-3/4 inches), rests on two 3/4-inch solid steel axles for strength and reliability, and sports four 16-inch pneumatic turf tires on steel wheels for covering even the most uneven terrain in challenging conditions. The front wheels steel the cart, making for easier turns in tight spaces. The cart is covered by a 90-day limited warranty, and some assembly is required.--Jeffrey Dalto

 Good quality and Made in USA April 15, 2009

I can't add too much to the previous post other than to point out some other assembly tips. I ran into the same problem with the front wheels but instead of grinding down the spacer shims, I omitted the first washer. I just have shim, wheel, washer, cotter pin instead of washer, shim, wheel, washer, cotter pin. I don't really see the point of the first washer and it made just enough room to get the cotter pin in.
One other thing that I wanted to point out is that there is a left and a right to the back axle supports. I couldn't find anything in the instruction saying anything about them but if you mix them up you can't get the wheels on. I found that one out after I had them all bolted together.
Besides that it seems to be a great well made trailer and it's Made in the USA.
A great stand alone tractor wagon March 12, 2009
G. Cleveland (Colorado)
The wagon arrived quickly in a cardboard box on a pallet. It was quite heavy but the pieces inside were liftable except the wagon bed which I moved with a dolly. The two axle/wheel and the one hitch assembly must be put together and fixed to the bed. A large number of bolts, washers, pins, etc are furnished to do this. The instructions are very good which was fortunate because the parts bag was short some items and contained other items never used. The shorted pieces were washers easy to replace. Assembly took about 3 hours and I encountered some problems.
Half inch spacers, intended to position the wheels at each end of the front axle, placed the wheels too far out such that they covered their respective cotter pin holes intended to secure the wheels. I had to grind down the spacers until everything fit. Another problem was the hitch had a gap too small to fit over the tractor hitch hole. I had to add several washers and a longer bolt to make a larger gap. Unfortunately the tongue will not accommodate a standard ball coupler, which would have been a better solution.
Wanting to haul rock and dirt, I lined the bed with plywood and tow it around fully loaded with a Kubota 2350 utility tractor. With its big tires the wagon is easily pulled over residential street curbs. Even loaded it can be maneuvered by hand into a tight fit area. And it is small enough that the tractor (with front loader) and wagon all fit in a garage stall. The only complaint I have is, again, the hitch. The hitch holes are fairly small and hard to align for the pin insertion. And the hitch pin is difficult to access under the tongue. Again a hitch ball coupling would make life easier.
Despite some small annoyances this is a great, sturdily built product.

I cannot speak to this product yet as I've still not received it. I will come back and review it once I get it.
But I wanted to raise awareness about the shipping issues I've been having.
My order was placed 3/3/10 and the estimated delivery under tracking is still 3/15/10. But when I went to track the shipment I found an entry stating Customer refused delivery 3/4/10.I called Amazon and was told by the rep called Cas P. not to worry. I specifically told her that we are not home during the day and asked if they will just drop off the shipment. She stated that that is not a problem at all, they will just drop off the shipment. I verified my address and phone number with her.
After my call I received an email from Amazon that contained this:
"Our shipper, ABF Freightways, has been unsuccessful in attempts to contact you at the phone number listed on your order.
The delivery is called a "threshold" delivery service. The delivery person will unload the shipment from the truck for you and bring it to your door. It is your responsibility to assemble and/or install the item.
Please note that we are not responsible for any storage fees that may have occurred while ABF Freightways attempts to contact you."
They did include the freight company's phone. So I called them and was told that Amazon never shared my phone number with them so they had no ways to contact me. They also told me that they do not drop off shipments in residential areas unless we leave a written and signed letter asking them to do so. And they told me that they deliver but it is our responsibility to unload the truck. (which doesn't make sense if we are not at home and they are dropping off..)
At any rate, I am sitting on eggshells until 3/17/10 (it is 3/11 today) when they said they will deliver my order.
Just wanted to let people know about this to raise awareness. It all could have been good if Amazon would communicate to their freight companies better and would add just one sentence to the oreder confirmation email explaining that you need to leave a written and signed note at your door for the freight company to drop off your shipment.
