I'm thinking of buying this for storage of a John Deere 42" riding mower. Will the weight of the mower be a problem on the floor?

Hi. The shed has a plastic floor. You must have a solid base, plywood, packed earth etc. I have a John Deer X300 with mower. The floor in the shed holds up with the weight. I used paver sand in a wood frame and plywood under the plastic floor. It works just fine.

You will need to build the proper base to support it, but that should work.

I have no problem with my small John Deere tractor, be care when wet, tractor has hard time getting traction. Had to unhook roller, not to easy when it wants to go down the hill. I had the roller full of water, so it was at max weight.

I ordered this mower with the same thought in mind....I wanted a mower that would be easy to maneuver and would not break my back when I had to lift it. It is one of the lightest mowers that I have ever owned. This mower weighs approximately 46 lbs.. If you are looking for a lightweight mower that will "get the job done", I would highly recommend this one to you.

my 42" is not heavy, but the base it is very steady and strong, if the specifications supports that weight I think it will be ok....

This could easily bear the weight of a large TV- I had a motorcycle engine sitting on mine as a display...it is a very solid piece of furniture. However, the top is a little bit uneven (it has a rustic finish texture). The wheels are metal casters with two heavy "rubber bands" around them that provide contact surface with your floor.

I would worry about the stability of the unit after several moves. The unit is heavy when you think of how much dirt goes into it. If I were to do this, I would make sure there is additional support for the legs.

Hello, not that I've noticed. The only safety I know of is locking it up in the garage. I have often wondered, what might happen were someone to trip toward the mower and land on it, I have a feeling it wouldn't be a pretty sight. I'd say, be careful. MAJORLY recommended though, great fun little mower for small spaces, and it makes a lovely little whirring sound as you walk along, which I personally find quite appealing!

I would say it's "OK" for that. However, when it's very loaded down with lots of stuff, it can be hard to maneuver. I'm not so sure I'd wanna wheel this thing 2 miles. It does get stuck on bumps and stuff when it's weighed down. I think you could do it, but it might be slow going.

I would think that wold be fine. My only concern with that would be if it's top-heavy and could get knocked backwards but that really shouldn't happen under any normal situation. It will be weight forward and balanced naturally. If you put anything with any weight on top of the legs it would help too. It's a very sturdy stand.

I use this lift to work on my John Deere model 345 a fairly heavy garden tracyir and have no problem. It does not fold up for storage.

If the shed is secured to a proper base as specified by Suncast, then it shouldn't be any problem. The weight of the tractor is distributed to the 4 wheels so the entire weight of the tractor is spread out.

I sit on mine (on dirt or bark mulch) all the time and I've never had a problem. It moves around just fine. I don't try to roll all the way across the yard while still on it because I think my weight could cause it to sink it in where the dirt is softer. I love this thing...it's a real back saver, and I like that I can put my tools and extra stuff under the seat, so they're always with me as I move around the yard.

You should not have a problem at all. I pull it up hills with hay that easily weighs over 50 pounds. If you are more or less level, you will be fine. I love mine!!! Wish I had this years ago!!!

I don't think it will handle that type of weight, especially if you are planning to actually wheel the cart. Maybe 50lbs??? The hole is about 1inch or so. I didn't get a tape measure out though, so you might ask the vendor. Sorry...

it's heavy and big, so it's not easy to back up etc when loaded. I'm happy with it and can put up with maneuvering issues in exchange for the heavy duty aspect. I can load up lots of bags of soil, gravel, compost and get them to the back yard much easier than with a wheel barrow which was what I used before I got this. My only concern is the side panels, they don't seem as sturdy as the rest of the cart, seem like they could bend with enough pressure against them. but they do drop down and so far mine are fine. and the rest of the wagon is pretty well made.

No... on flat ground it doesn't budge. And if you want to be able to mow under it, it helps to be able to stand in it, pick it up, and move it over. It weighs a bit, but it's doable.

Very definitely. I am 77 and I was concerned about the 60 lb weight. I ordered it anyway, feeling that, with 4 large wheels, it wouldn't be too much of a factor. I was right. I have used it to move mulch from my driveway pile to my flower beds and weeds and debris to a disposal area in the lower part of my yard. Slopes all the way, up and down. It is great. I love it. Good Luck to you.
