THIS PAST SUMMER I FINALLY GAVE IN AND BOUGHT A RIDING MOWER. LIKE MOST PEOPLE WHO OWN RIDING MOWERS, I WANTED THE ACCESSORIES TO GO WITH IT. NOT SO EASY THOUGH. I WAS VERY LIMITED ON SPACE AND ON MONEY. BUT AGAIN, I DID LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION AND I BOUGHT THE 4 MAIN ACCESSORIES TO GO WITH MY RIDING MOWER. UTILITY CART, SPREADER, AERATOR AND DETHATCHER. THESE UNITS, WHICH I WENT CHEAP ON, COST ME OVER $600. NOW I HAD TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO STORE THESE ITEMS. I HAVE A GARAGE, WHICH HOUSES OUR CARS. I HAVE A SHED, WHICH HOUSES MY RIDING MOWER AND OTHER LAWN AND GARDEN TOOLS. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PLACE TO STORE SUCH BULKY, CHEAPLY MADE ITEMS. THEY ARE NOW SITTING IN THE CORNER OF MY YARD IN THE ELEMENTS.

THE PROBLEMS DON’T STOP WITH THE COSTS AND STORAGE ISSUES. THE QUALITY IS TERRIBLE. YARD TOOLS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TOUGH, ABLE TO TAKE ABUSE. MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE I DECIDED TO BUY THE CHEAPEST ITEMS I COULD FIND BUT FOR $100-$200 FOR EACH ITEM, THEY SHOULD WORK AND LAST. AT LEAST FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. THE AERATOR I PURCHASED DOESN’T EVEN DO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH PENETRATION IN THE GROUND. SURE THERE IS A PLACE TO ADD 2 CINDER BLOCKS FOR WEIGHT. THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO ADEQUATE TO GET THE PENETRATION NEEDED. THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR THE DETHATCHER. THE CART I PURCHASED DOES WHAT I EXPECTED IT TO DO. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY SMALL AND LOW QUALITY. AND AGAIN, THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT THE FOURTH ITEM I PURCHASED, THE SPREADER. VERY DISAPPOINTING. I COULD CONTINUE ON WITH WHY EACH ITEM HAS FAILED TO IMPRESS ME BUT INSTEAD, I WILL

FOCUS ON THE SOLUTION.

COST

STORAGE NEEDED

QUALITY OF MANUFACTURING

LACK OF PERFORMANCE

OK, I SPENT MONEY I SHOULDN’T HAVE. MORE THAN I SHOULD HAVE, ON ITEMS THAT ARE JUNK AND USELESS. I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER ANSWER OUT THERE. I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO HAUL, DETHATCH, AERATE AND SEED/FERTILIZE MY YARD WITH ITEMS THAT ACTUALLY WORK. ITEMS I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TAKING UP MORE SPACE THAN NEEDED. ITEMS I DON’T HAVE TO HOOK TO THE MOWER SEPERATELY, EACH AND EVERY TIME. I WAS FRUSTERATED IN SPENDING OVER $600 ON USELESS ITEMS THAT I HAD NOWHERE TO STORE. I DECIDED TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION, AND I DID, THE PATENT PENDING, MULTIFUNCTION UTILITY CART.

OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE WORKED ON THE INITIAL CONCEPTS AND I AM VERY CLOSE TO FINALIZING THE PRODUCT. I HAVE DONE COUNTLESS HOURS OF RESEARCH, APPLIED FOR THE PROVISIONAL PATENT FOLLOWED BY A NON PROVISIONAL PATENT AND HAD A PATENT SEARCH COMPLETED. I AM INTERESTED IN CONTINUING WITH THIS PROJECT WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, LOOKING AT EVERY OPTION I HAVE IN ORDER TO BEST SEE THIS GREAT PRODUCT ON THE MARKET.

BEGINNING CONCEPTS

A “Bolt-On” style multi-functional lawn cart, allowing for smaller versions of an aerator, dethatcher and spreader in order to help limit storage space, and to allow a “one shot” lawn job.
