Abstract
The “mini burro” is unique in that it is optionally pulled by hand or by mechanical device such as a lawn tractor, 3, 4, or 6 wheel ATV. The hand pull handle folds neatly out of the way when the “mini burro” is being pulled by a mechanical device. The tongue, which is used only when being pulled by a mechanical device, slides underneath and is pinned in place out of the way when being pulled by the hand pull handle. The design is such that the weight on the “mini burro” is transferred to the axles thus making it very easy to pull. The “mini burro” is light weight (40 lbs.) yet it has a carry capacity of 450 lbs.
Claims2
We claim that our retractable towing tongue is a unique design feature not found on any other cart type device designed for utility use.
We further claim that the combination of manual pull and vehicular towing capability is also unique in the field.
