Cart and Trailer reccomendations

Hey there, My family orders 10 cubic yards of mulch every other year and I picked up a loader for a narrow frame cub cadet, so im looking for a cart/ trailer to go with it. ive had no luck on craigslist and haven't found much but what seems to be cheap tin can carts. so i am wondering what you guys are using. so far i have found these to be a good deal

So far i have found this to be good because it it is long and tallish to hold brush and  seems like it can hold a lot of mulch so we can pull it around the property. 
they also have a double axle, but i doubt id need that for soil and mulch.

I would drive myself up a wall if my garden cart had a high tail on it. (I love to sweep out after a dump once its back level).

I have the older version of this (http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200621557_200621557) that has the 16" turf tires on it and I love it. I only dislike all the bolts inside of it because it was not the welded steel version (like the one i linked IS welded). Catch my shovel every time! But I got it on craigslist for under $100... SO I cant complain.

It has easily held more weight than my tractor should safely tow without any issues (other than a change of underwear!).

FWIW - Northern just put those 2 items on sale at $390 & $110.

They look like nice pieces, but a bit pricey for my pocket book. This is what I use, a common 17cu ft trailer from the big box store with customized sides to get that extra hauling ability...

thats what i was thinking but im trying to find one long enough so my front end loader can comfortably fit the length of the trailer.

Do what pacer did except put the front panel on a 45 degree slant outwards (like this \_) and then you can use pretty much any craigslist cart you can find! The front walls slanted will direct any spillover from the FEL.
