HDC-10L BH, HDC-16L BH, Tow Cart specifications

The Brinly-Hardy Tow Cart is an essential tool for gardeners and landscapers alike, designed to enhance efficiency and ease of transport for a variety of tasks. Among the standout models are the HDC-16L BH and HDC-10L BH, both of which offer remarkable functionality and durability.

The HDC-16L BH is a robust tow cart with a generous capacity. Able to carry up to 1,200 pounds, it is particularly suited for heavy-duty tasks such as hauling soil, mulch, rocks, or other gardening materials. Its heavy-gauge steel construction ensures longevity and resistance to wear, while a powder-coated finish protects against rust and corrosion. The cart features a user-friendly, easy-to-hitch design that allows for seamless connection to most lawn tractors and ATVs.

On the other hand, the HDC-10L BH is slightly lighter with a capacity of 750 pounds, catering to the needs of smaller gardens and households. Despite its lighter frame, it maintains the same heavy-duty steel build, ensuring it withstands the rigors of regular use. The HDC-10L BH also boasts a quick-release dumping feature that makes unloading materials straightforward and hassle-free.

Both models come equipped with 13-inch pneumatic tires that provide excellent traction and mobility on various terrains. This is particularly beneficial for uneven ground often encountered in garden or yard work. The tow carts are designed for stability, with a low center of gravity that minimizes the risk of tipping during transport.

One of the significant advantages of the Brinly-Hardy Tow Carts is their multifunctionality. In addition to gardening tasks, they are ideal for transporting tools, equipment, and supplies around properties.

Safety features are also a priority; the carts feature reflectors that enhance visibility during low-light conditions.

Whether you choose the HDC-16L BH for its heavy-duty capabilities or the more compact HDC-10L BH, both models exemplify the quality and innovativeness that Brinly-Hardy is known for. They are designed not only to make work easier but also to endure the demands of outdoor tasks for years to come, making them a worthy investment for anyone who values efficiency and quality in their gardening endeavors.
