Yes this post is really developing.  Great,  lots of good ideas.  The Gorilla 115L dump truck certainly seems to be the way to go and your idea of a double pulley to help with that seems good.  I'll try to load pictures by tomorrow.  Just having trouble with phone storage,  the extra I added dosent't seem to have worked.  I'll need to get help at my computer class.

Hope these pictures help.  the second one is not part of the route,  I was doing a circular thing to give an idea of the length of the area

Afternoon @ireneburrows 

Ohhhh "The Little cart that could" :smile: Gorilla Carts 115L Poly Dump Cart  Would work perfectly!

 

Mow the track you want and it would be even smoother or aftera few paths back and fourth it would be the same. Seriously there is a huge difference between the cart and a wheelbarrow. I was surpprised by how much.

 

Thanks for the pics, Its a lot easier to picture now.

Hello @ireneburrows 

 

Thanks for sharing those extra photos of your hill. I agree with @Dave-1's recommendation to create a track to make it easier to pull the trolley. You'll be surprised how much easier it will be to pull the trolley over a flat surface.
