Moving gravel or any heavy load like rocks or firewood is no fun if you don't have the right equipment.
And it's even worse if you have slopes.
But because you're watching this video, there's a good chance you've wished you could take the load off your back with a powered hauler like this.
Hi, I'm Bill Lockwood, sales manager for Country Home Products.
And I'd like to introduce you to this whole new way to haul heavy loads with never before ease with the revolutionary DR Power Wagon.
It's the very first intermediate-sized powered hauler, especially designed to carry heavy loads over practically any terrain with unbelievable ease.
But first, let's look at the alternatives.

Because they balance the load over the wheels and roll more easily, Big Wheels garden carts are a great improvement over wheelbarrows for moving heavy or bulky materials.
There's just one problem. Their capacity often exceeds your ability to move them, especially in soft soil or on hills.
Even going downhill can be a chore as you try to keep them from running away.
But what about wheelbarrows?
Well, heavy-duty wheelbarrows are ideal for moving along narrow paths or planks.
But their very design forces the user to lift and then balance the weight of the load on their single front wheel.
Riding tractors and tow-behind wagons are the most commonly used powered haulers.
But if you've ever used one, you know about the uncertainty of operation on slopes and rough terrain.
And as for backing up in close quarters, forget it.
Pickup trucks are great haulers over the road, but often can't get you close enough to the work at hand around your property.
Of course, there's always the option of carrying by hand, but that includes the risk of strained muscles, bad knees and back aches.
What a difference the DR way. It's truly a revolutionary new and better way.
With a DR, with or without the optional Sulky, you can steer your heavy load to exactly where you want it.
With a DR, the load is placed over the powered wheels. That means the heavier the load becomes, the better the traction, even in wet, boggy areas.
The load is out front, ahead of the operator, so you can see what you're doing and maneuver the DR into places where you'd never take a rider.
The DR Power Wagon is exceptionally maneuverable.
Thanks to its single rear-mounted caster wheel, the DR can actually turn in its own length, with or without a full load.
The up front load and dump bed is also a real advantage when unloading.
The DR lets you dump the load where you want it, much like a construction wheelbarrow or even a front-end bucket loader.
Because it was designed specifically for hauling, the DR Power Wagon can go into rough areas, on slopes, almost anywhere around your property, including tight quarters like this that would be hard to get to any other way.
Now, listen to what these owners have to say.
We live on a small farm and have plenty of tractors and wagons and trailers and things like that, but my wife is not really into tractor driving and trailer backing up.
And she had always been using the wheelbarrow in the past to do her gardening and flyer beds, and I got the Power Wagon for her to use.
She has no problems at all operating. In fact, she's the one that uses it 90% of the time, just running back and forth, carrying stones and gravel and trimming the roses and things like that.
Really, it's just a joy to have it because of the fact that when you get into your upper 60s, you look for the easy way to do things.
When my family asked me, they said, what are you getting all this equipment for? I said, gee, you're spending all this kind of money and everything.
I said, look, I hope to be doing this when I'm 70 and 80. And they said, the easier I do it now, I know for a fact I'm going to probably live to be that age without busting my back.
I've used it moving cement blocks. I just put up one of those prefab barns and actually had to clear the area. I moved seven and a quarter yards of gravel.
The DR is tough. You can collect firewood in woodlots, pile it high on the DR Power Wagon, shift into reverse and take off.
No matter whether there's a path or not, the DR is built to handle rough, uneven ground, ride smooth over branches and roots.
You can haul supplies and construction materials to sites accessible only by narrow trails or walking paths.
Build that dream cabin way back in the woods. No need for a wide logging trail to such a spot. The DR can haul it all.
The DR can successfully negotiate slopes, doesn't skip a beat on this steep bank, and powerful disc brakes easily control your speed going down.
Transporting all sorts of equipment like these gardening supplies, you can proceed at a moderate pace, or much faster, whatever your preference or the conditions call for.
Yes, young or old, large or small, practically anyone can enjoy power hauling the DR way.
Sand and gravel hauling and spreading are no longer a difficult job with the DR.
Lift, dump, rake, you've got a fresh new walkway.
And for wood handling, the DR is made to order.
Now firewood is one of the very heaviest of loads property owners handle.
How often have you strained your back trying to carry more wood in a single trip? The DR makes wood handling a breeze.
The boys was here and they was looking at it. They wanted to haul stoves. They wanted to know if it would hold a 700 pound stove, what it would do on a hillside.
I said, I can't tell you about a stove, but I said I'll tell you one thing, it'll hold the wood on a hillside.
I found a silly thing. I built a new double wide garage and I blocked myself out in the backyard. I couldn't get anything.
And the only thing I seen you all was at on this little wagon and I measured the place that I could get through.
That's my only means of getting to my back. That wagon, it serves my purpose.
People come and look at it and I tell them, I said, well, I'd buy another one. It's a wonderful piece of equipment.
I really love my power wagon. I'm thrilled with it.
But I was using a wheelbarrow beforehand and they have major limitations.
And part of the reason I got the power wagon is because I'm on real rocky ground. It's real uneven.
So not only was the wheelbarrow tipping a lot, but it was just getting harder and harder to push it up the hill to the house.
So the power wagon does all the work for me.
And I tried one of those standard garden cart type things and it didn't work at all.
It would rear itself up on a rock or a stump or something and just about pitch all the wood out.
And it was a disaster, but the power wagon is much more stable. I just think it's extremely well made.
We were joking at first that we thought it could climb right up the side of a tree.
That slope is meaningless with that power wagon. It is no problem at all.
I haven't hit a slope yet that that thing can't make its way up.
Whether it's feed bags, furniture, or one of hundreds of common or once a year jobs you want to tackle,
the DR is built to handle the heaviest of loads with ease.
There are two different DR power wagon sizes.
At the top of the line is the Pro model, which comes equipped with a six horsepower Tecumseh Vector engine,
heavy duty stake body, and gear driven transmission with four speeds and power reverse.
The Pro has a load capacity of 800 pounds and is ideal for hauling large loads of firewood, dirt, gravel, rock, or building supplies.
The controls are conveniently located at your fingertips with the throttle control, handbrake, and shift lever.
And there's a removable tool tray for carrying pruners, your chainsaw, oil, gas, and the like.
The optional ride on sulky has a foot bar, ball hitch, and simple quick lock.
The molded body option replaces the standard stake body and is ideal for hauling loose materials like sand, topsoil, gravel, and compost.
Or for mixing and hauling cement, peat moss, and the like.
High impact UV stabilized polyethylene resists damage from stones, firewood, and the elements.
The suburban model DR power wagon is powered by a four horsepower Tecumseh Premier engine,
comes with a large capacity molded body, and features two speeds forward and one reverse.
The suburban has a load capacity of 500 pounds and is wonderfully maneuverable and easy to use for everyday hauling chores.
Both DR power wagon models are equipped with either manual recoil starting or with optional electric starting engines.
And come with heavy duty turf tread tires.
The extra rugged all-terrain tires are optional and factory installed.
There's practically no end to the number of jobs and things you can haul with a DR power wagon.
It's great for moving gardening supplies to and from your garden.
What better way to move nursery stock for planting?
Stones or slates for building walls and walks.
Brush and yard debris.
Seasonal equipment and sporting goods at vacation homes.
Taking out the trash each week.
Grain, hay, and water for animals.
Shavings and manure from barns and of course all those regular hauling jobs involving wood, soil, and gravel around your property.
What's more, the DR's stake body side and front panels are a snap to remove, converting the DR to a flatbed hauler,
perfect for moving oversized loads like this cast iron furniture.
Picnic tables.
Dock sections.
Building supplies.
Even this bulky otherwise hard to move inflatable boat.
The DR is fully guaranteed.
