Lightweight, tough, and versatile...,
August 18, 2008
By jimingeorgia
from Marietta, Georgia
"This wagon provides tremendous strength, while being light enough for my wife to enjoy using it as well. It easily navigates most challenging terrain, and the flexibility of removing the side rails is a definite benefit -
We decided to take the wagon with us to the beach this summer, and it performed flawlessly. It was so much easier getting to and from the beach each morning and afternoon with the wagon carrying all the chairs, umbrellas, and coolers -
Good product that is reasonably priced from my view -"

"I love the Jumbo Wagon. It is the perfect size for my situation. With it's inflatable tires it rolls very easily over all terrains. It was very easy to assemble and much easier to use. The wagon holds much more weight than I need it to so it works like a dream!"

Jumbo Wagon does the job,

"I purchased this wagon with some reluctance as to whether it would do the job or not. I do some landscaping along with my construction work and this wagon carried patio stones/pavers stacked four above the rail. I'm guessing that it wasn't 1400 lbs, probably closer to 3-4 hundred lbs, but had no peoblems steering, tipping, sinking into the ground (but one might watch this because the ground could be softer than what I was on and your result would be different). This wagon was used on severasl jobs and all day for a week. Still, going strong, but I'm not sure if pink rabbits are into it or not! Good buy and for the money, well worth it!"

Tough Work Wagon,
November 2, 2009
By imurwer
from El Dorado Springs, MO
"I purchased this wagon for my wife so she could do gardening work around the house. It has turned into much more than a gardening wagon.
I started using it to move small, medium and large sandstone and rock which is native to the soil in our area. I was able to haul some heavy loads with this wagon. I also used it to clear storm debris which consisted mainly of small to very large limbs. Being able to drop the sides allowed for easy loading and unloading of the debris. The large tires on the wagon helped with stability and allowed a smooth transition over rough terrain.
I can also take the grandkids for a ride when they visit so it is truly a versitile piece of equipment."

My little workhorse,
November 2, 2009
By pamitopia
from Telford, PA
"Love this wagon! It's gotten me through 3 years of yardwork. Everything from hundreds of pounds of walnuts, to picking up the branches in my wooded area to hauling trashbags to the dumpster. Saves my back on a daily basis. I love it! Anyone who stops by while I'm working outside usually comments on it and wants to know where I got it. The fold down sides make unloading real easy. This baby can take the weight. Assembly is easy."

Northern Industrial Jumbo Wagon 1400 lb capacity,
October 30, 2009
By toolcrazysue
from Michigan
"My husband & I found this to be a very good wagon that works well, but it should have been made a little wider as it is a little tippy on rough terrain. Also it should have an interchangable tongue for pulling behind lawn tractor, etc. My husband made a tongue for the wagon with square tubing and a hitch pin attachment so that I could pull behind my lawn mower/tractor. It makes it more universal that way. Other than that we both agree it works well."

Jumbo Wagon,
October 12, 2009
By horsedude
from Colorado
"I purchased this wagon in July. The rear axle braces were both the same and I had to fabricate a left hand brace. Today, Oct 12, 2009, one front and one rear wheel came off due to wheel bearings coming apart. Very poor design on the wheel bearings. The most weight this wagon has carried has been about an 80 pound bale of hay. I have asked Northern how I can obtained two wheels and tires. Additionally, the lift up sides and back bend easily and are difficult to connect. The keepers on the sides are constantly falling out."

Overweighted Wagon,
May 4, 2009
By logger1
from Shipman, VA
"This wagon has done a decent job in the two years I have had it. However, I would not put more than 300 or so pounds in it. Don't know who came up with the 1000+ capacity, but if you put that it it, be prepared to pick up the pieces! Pretty good for carrying logs from the stack to the fireplace."

It's a Yugo,
April 19, 2009
By Turftech
from Texas
"What a piece of junk! Had it two weeks and the front wheel bearing blew out. 1400 pound capacity??? Are you kidding? 200-300 lb max. Flimsy, hard to roll and steer.
Cheap metal and cheap hardware. This thing is a joke!

Not Worth The Money,
March 29, 2009
By Shrike
from North texas
"I'm rather disappointed with what I got for my money. First, the directions were lacking. While it isn't rocket science putting the wagon together, the illustrations in the directions were inaccurate and confusing and missing some depictions of drilled holes.
The actual parts are flimsy and thin, poorly manufactured, sloppy stamps and misaligned screw holes. While I haven't tested the wagon beyond approximately a 50 lb. payload, I can't imagine it could hold anywhere near 1400 lbs without falling apart. For my needs I think it will do just fine, but the item wasn't what I expected. I should have looked much more closely at the demo model in the store.
Its working out great for my light duty garden work and time will tell if it can stand the test of time. The overall design is good, the overall quality is not. As so many of the other reviews attest, I wouldn't load this wagon with any more than a couple hundred lbs.

1400 wagon,
March 18, 2009
By couldbebetter
from Pardeeville , Wi
"I felt the wagon was over priced for what we got. ( Now, five days later its on sale!)
The wagon itself had some poor welds, we had to hammer to make the cotter pins slide through the loop connections. It is hard to lift the lock handles to release the sides to open the wagon. This is going to be used in a grade school setting as a plant base, I doubt the children will be able to access the inside by lowering the side panels, by themselves. I have been told by our local garden center owner, who has one of these wagons, that the wheels will give out first, they should be solid tires like a child's wagon.

Light Loads Only!,
February 19, 2009
By Wyominggoats
from Wyoming
"This wagon is not going to handle loads over 300 lbs because of the axles and undercarriage. We have been loading approximately 200-300 lbs on it and the axles are breaking down; wheels are locking up, etc, after using it for around 9 months.
For very light loads and short distances, I would recommend. When new, it worked well, covers the terrain easily, pulls easily. We liked being able to lower all sides for loading. We are hauling on fairly level ground so have not had problems with it tipping over."

Jumbo Wagon-Jumbo Failure,
November 20, 2008
By Anonymous
from New Jersey
"Purchased the Jumbo Wagon to haul feed sacks - max. load 300#. Within first year, 2 wheels LITERALLY fell apart under load. Attempted to purchase new wheels but found I had to get wheels, tubes and tires as a set! More money gone! Attempted a MIG weld repair on second failed wheel but the metal was too thin to weld. For a cart rated at 1400#, surely a 300# load, evenly distributed should be a breeze - but not so. Need larger, stronger wheels, spaced further apart to give stability - cart tips over WAY too much. What good is a decent price if the product cannot perform? DO NOT purchase this cart for anything other than light duty hauling."

Little Red Wagon,
November 18, 2008
By DuaneL
from New Hampshire
"This wagon is the greatest thing since sliced bread! We have used it to haul wood pellets into our cellar, carry cement bricks from one end of the yard to another, carry lumber down to the cellar, generally move anything that is too heavy to carry around. We absolutely love this wagon. It is ruggedly built and the pneumonic (spelling?) tires are the best. They stay on top of the ground and make this wagon easy to pull around. Everyone should own one of these. For the price, it is the BEST!"

Jumbo Wagon,
November 17, 2008
By yvenuto
from Colorado
"Although the instructions for constructing the wagon are a bit difficult to understand, this wagon is lightweight but able to carry large items easily. I have not used it for more than 300-400 pounds but have had no problems in steering or traction. Having the sides drop makes it very easy to load large items. I have used it both at home and on the farm."
