Reviews for Stein Arbor Trolley

Although it doesn't replace a motorized piece of equipment it does increase efficiency on many jobs. The trolley is incredibly easy to assemble and fits in most full size chippers. This will not only increase productivity for a professional but could be extremely beneficial for a weekend warrior or property owner. Extremely well engineered!!!

I can't say enough about this product...just wow. This thing can haul more brush and wood rounds or logs than 4 groundsmen combined. We have cut our time at job sites in half or more and less body pain at the end of the day. I would highly recommend to any to have this, even if you have a dingo/mini bobcat, this little guy can haul as much and won't damage lawn etc.

I bought the Arbor Trolley after getting a job removing 18 large ash trees with no access within 150'. Two groundies could fill a 16'x8' trailer 4-5' high in five or six Arbor Trolley loads. I can't imagine how many trips those guys would've made draggin brush by hand. It's built pretty sturdy, but that also means it's heavy. Still, if you've got brush or 10-12' logs, this thing is your huckleberry. If the ground is really soft, the narrow tires will leave tracks. We used plastic mats to leave the yard the way it was when we got there.
 

I just got this coo tool. must say this is my best job site tool. i hauled out a big apple tree wood and trunk in 3 shots. save lots of steps and energy.

I have been using this for months now and am not as impressed as I was expecting. It is heaver than it looks witch is good for durability but pulling around a bunch of metal is always work.
I think the handles should be 6" wider so your feet have more room to stay out of the way when in tow.
It doesn't hold firewood length rounds very well and if you leave them long you have to cut them up in the street and make another mess to clean up and maybe hit the assault with the saw.
As far as brush goes, think of how much your can drag and add 70lbs of metal and bumping the back of your heals with the dam thing.
All that aside you can move a lot of stuff with it.

I would rate it higher if it was better designed and wasn't over priced. I don't think its worth more than $200.

Do you want an employee that never misses work, never tired, never complains and is the toughest worker in town? BUY THIS! Turned a 4hr miserable job into a 1hr walk through the park today. Best purchase of my career so far.
There was a little mix up with the order and it was running behind. I expressed my urgency for the trolley and Tree Stuff had it at my door the next morning. Best company in the world and I am a lifelong customer!!!

I bought this as a stop gap measure until we can get a mini for moving debris. We are usually a two man crew and this has decreased fatigue and increased production tremendously!

It is,one of those tools you feel like kicking yourself for not having bought sooner or have thought of it in the first place. Gone are the days of building "sleds" out of brush and trying to drag a bunch out of the back yard. If you cut and stack it right, I swear you can move six times as much stuff with less effort.

I am building a mounting spot for it on the chipper so,it,always comes along.
 

If you do not have a dingo or similar machine, this is a life saver. It has made its money back and more in the time I save with it. I have used it in conjunction with our chipper winch to tow logs uphill. Very durable and well built. I'm extremely glad I forked out the money to pick one up.

This is a great time saver from dragging by hand! No more raking the whole path too. And LONG stacks of logs that no log cart could ever carry. But I hate the "no-flat" wheels! Feels like they are low on air. I replaced mine with some good air tires and it rolls MUCH EASIER. I think the only benefit of "no-flat" wheels is it kinda dumbs it down for those who just can't put up with keeping air in their stuff. Its a shame the rest of us have to deal with it. Other than that, 5 stars!

Great product! Makes moving brush and wood out of tight spaces so much easier.

This is a job-site must have for residential work. mini loaders require mats or hard ground. This can get the same job done alittle slower but better less damage to lawn and less time loading and unloading mats and equipment. Other log carts are just don't work the same and are dangerous to load.

pros: does move some weight, can hold a good amount of load, easy to manage only on hard surface,and fit through small gates.

Cons: almost require 2 men to move when loaded in grass and dirt, super heavy so they can charge us per lbs., a little difficult load-unload sometimes.

Used this thing for tree jobs but also for firewood transport in the bush and firewood at home from the woodpile to the "chateau". Yeah maybe could be lighter and cheaper but on the other hand what you save in time and back wear and tear makes this a bargain. So for a lark, made a plywood liner for it and used it for moving condo doo-dads from a loading dock thru a parkade to the complex elevators. Saved trips and backs again. It's awesome! I'd like to see a hitch setup for it.

great idea but expensive , heavy, have to grease bearings

If this piece of equipment is too heavy you need to trade it in on a nice Gucci purse for yourself. The arbor trolley turns one man into 3. Only an idiot would not have this on every single jobsite. 

Great idea, falls short....
Way too pricey, and heavy. For the price should be T6 heat treated aluminum. For example, you can get a complete aluminum mountain bike, with disc brakes, front and rear suspension, bearings, cranks, Shimano shift, tires, bar, grips, etc. for the same price. Now transform that into some aluminum tubes and rods welded together with some tires.
You would think for the price it would have solid sealed bearings. Nope, open roller bearing requiring grease.

Needs to be aluminum (search the net already is available). Also if you cut your 12" and above logs into 12-14" lengths so you can lift them, them this unit falls short because you can't stack them like on a dolly.

Awesome tool. Cuts down the number of trips you have to make. Move loads with ease!

Well, it can move quite a bit of tree in one load! The Trolly is built like a tank. Maybe too much like a tank since it weighs a little more than I expected. It would be interesting to try one built out of aluminum. The handle grips come off on occasion too so, I was thinking about using some rubber bike handle grips. Other than that it does a great job and takes away some back pain.

I received the Arbor Trolley and had it put together in a few moments. Much nicer to load and unload than a standard log dolly. Heavy duty construction, I have no doubt it will stand up to the daily use of tree work. I was able to move much longer log sections and this saves a lot of time both cutting and cleaning. Great product.

Doubtful at beginning. Even contemplated on building one. But the overall end costs wasn't worth it. So I gave in and bought one for a job that had 16 x 60 ft spruces and 4 x 30 ft cedars, 250 +/- ft walk from back to chipper. It paid just for itself in man power hours in the first day. We calculated over 420 trips at 4 min/trip that the guys saved during a 30 deg C day. Katsching $$ for me in my pockets. Its has been a main tool for everything from brush handling, tool carrying, log moving, it even carries my mulch/waste bag that I welded little braket to hold my leaf bag. I even use it to move my logs around the yard for my sawmill!!!
It's paid itself at least 5 x just in man power and able to do more contracts!
Thanks to my mentor John Pomeroy for the info!

What a life saver this purchase has turned out to be! You can easily move 6 times the amount of brush and debris that could be carried manually. Cuts down on trips through the yard ten fold. Makes clean-up easier due to not dropping twigs like you would carrying the loads. What a time saver! I couldn't imagine not having it now.

Get one now!

If you are thinking about this product you surely won't regret buying it .Don't know how I went so long without it. Super labor saver!
