10. the lawn tractor isn't the problem

The lawn tractor should be able to pull it. My concern is getting a strong enough cart to haul the load. I can't use my current cart because it's made of plastic--it can handle heavy loads, like wood chips, as long as its spread across the entire container. With boulders, a great deal of force is exerted over a small area and I could end up destroying it. I need to find a small metallic cart that I can attach to the lawn tractor.

Thanks for the other ideas. The tarp idea may be a viable option.

My "determination" has got me into so much trouble. And debt! LOL! Thanks.
