Hi Rebecca, nice to have you at the table.

Two years ago for her birthday I bought Chris a used Golf Car, for  
hauling and pulling heavy loads that she can't handle.  It is even  
more powerful than I expected, notably here where there is little flat  
ground. I have used it to pull quite large limbs to our disposal site  
and it did not hesitate. It would pull that bale of straw or a similar  
bale of peat moss around like it was not back there. It would be far  
more versatile and useful than a wheelchair in a garden. You might  
want to consider one.
