Prior art
Prior art
Although these utility, farm and garden wagons are designed with a dump feature, the effectiveness of the dump feature leaves a lot to be desired due to the lack of complete removal of the contents of the utility, farm and garden dump carts without the use of tools and manual labor. When a material-loaded dump cart is placed in the dump position, the material slides out but stops as soon as it makes contact with the ground There is currently nothing available to remedy this problem; however, the present invention can solve this problem.
The unloading facilitator can also be used to carry or drag material (depending on weight of material) such as compost or mulch through a garden area where a dump wagon might be too large to fit through a garden area.
