How much weight can it carry?

Up to 600 lb, with an 8 cubic foot bed. That covers several wheelbarrow loads of soil, gravel or firewood.

Does it dump by itself?

No. You release the latch and tilt the bed by hand to dump the load. It is a manual dump, not powered.

Can I tow it behind a riding mower?

Yes. The hitch pin fits most riding mowers and ATVs, and the two 16-inch tires roll well over grass and gravel.

Do the tires need air?

No. They are foam-filled and flat-free, so there is no inflation and no punctures.

Will the steel bed rust?

The steel is painted, but owners report rust when the cart is left out in rain. Store it under cover to keep it looking new.

The bed measures about 39 by 28 inches and holds 8 cubic feet. The cart is roughly 59 inches long overall.

Our take on the Gorilla Carts 8 cu ft Steel Dump Trailer

The Gorilla Carts 8 cu ft Steel Dump Trailer is a tow-behind garden cart with a steel bed that tilts to dump its load, so you don't shovel mulch or soil out by hand. It holds 8 cubic feet and carries up to 600 lb on two 16-inch foam-filled tires that never go flat. The steel bed and dump latch suit homeowners moving soil, gravel, firewood and yard waste; it is heavier and more expensive than a basic plastic cart but far easier to unload. Owners like the dump action and the no-flat tires, though some find the assembly fiddly and the steel bed prone to rust if left out.
