Why do you think the notch one is better? I've looked at it and only see short comings comparing it to my arbor trolley.

I like the angle of the handle (at least in theory) of the notch one. My foot hit the stein all the time. I grab the ball cart before i grab the arb trolly.

Axle placement on the notch is horrible if your using it in the same configuration as the trolley. You'll be carrying most of the weight on the handle instead of most of the weight on the axle. And the notch is 170 bounds compared to 73 lbs. I wouldn't want to carry around that extra hundred pounds constantly. And I prefer solid tires, sure does suck trying to pull a cart with a flat tire.
 
I never saw the specs i just saw the picture. I didnt think theyd make it difficult to load with the weight. I thought since sherrill trys to improve existing equipment they would have done it with that as well. At our company we rarely use the thing just because of the walking forward and hitting our ankle. Im not hating on it. I may have drank too much haterade before i commented and it came off that way.

This is how we load ours. With the weight of the notch one that would suck

Cut a tennis ball or something and pad it up. I have definitely hit my leg off the thing a few times, so get what your saying

Funny thing is tho, I tend change the way I do things if it keeps leading to hurting myself.

Thats why i said if i want to walk forwards, which typically is the way i want to! Good idea with the tennis ball

I've never hit my leg on it that I can think of.

I use a short section of rope, with a stopped knot at the end as a tether, too. Its tied to the triangle gusset on the tongue. If I like, I can redirect it through the handle for a horizontal, rather than with a tongue-lifting effect. Its easier to move with one guy on the handle, and one guy on the rope, rather than 4 feet and 4 arms in the same area. Haven't tried it with 2 ropes.

When someone is pushing from the rear, they are generally rotating the tongue down, too. The rope at the bottom at the front/ tongue-end counteracts this.
