Maybe he'll go for it and prove some of us wrong.

If it can be done, go for it. How would you go about it? Just curious. You think it would actually pull the cart?

I like the availability of cheap weedeaters on craigslist for replacements. I'm thinking it would be easy to mount one at each wheel for 4WD
