On our farm in Onaway, firewood is a full-season job: cut, split, stack, move, and move again. Most of that moving happens in short, heavy trips that wear you down long before the pile does. The WorkWagon is built for exactly that kind of work.
Why this job is harder than it should be
A wheelbarrow holds a few dozen splits and tips the moment a wheel finds a rut. A tractor or side-by-side carries more, but it's a lot of machine to start, idle, and park for a 60-meter (200 ft) trip to the porch.
How the WorkWagon helps
A flat deck you can stack on
The 1,500 × 800 mm (59.1 × 31.5 in) steel deck lets you stack splits tight and square instead of heaping them in a tub.
Rated for real wood weight
Safe load rating is 800 kg (1,764 lb), which covers a heavy load of seasoned hardwood with room to spare.
Walk it right to the stack
Pull up beside the woodshed or porch and unload at waist height instead of bending into a barrow.
Quiet and fume-free
Electric drive means no exhaust next to the house and no engine noise on early mornings.
Load planning
Approximate weights for planning; wood weight varies widely by species and moisture.
| Full cord, seasoned hardwood | 1,100–1,600 kg (2,400–3,500 lb) — plan 2–3 loads |
|---|---|
| Face cord (≈⅓ cord), seasoned | 360–540 kg (800–1,200 lb) — one load |
| Green (fresh-cut) wood | Can weigh up to twice as much — load lighter |
| WorkWagon safe load rating | 800 kg (1,764 lb) |
Tips from our farm
- Stack heavier rounds low and toward the center of the deck.
- Weigh a sample load on a bathroom scale (a few splits at a time) to learn what your species weighs.
- Season wood near where you'll burn it, then use the wagon for the final short move.

Common questions
How much firewood can the WorkWagon carry?
Its safe load rating is 800 kg (1,764 lb). For seasoned hardwood that is roughly a face cord or more per trip; green wood is much heavier, so load less.
Can I add sides to stack wood higher?
Yes. Adding wooden stake sides does not void the 3-year warranty, as long as you stay within the 800 kg (1,764 lb) rating.
Will it work in the woods?
Trail suitability depends on slope, mud, and surface. Tell us about your property and we'll be honest about fit before you order.
