Please understand this is my personal opinion. If all you need is a loader to pack mulch around to planting beds the Johnny Bucket would be great. I have never owned one and from what I can see of it there is a lot of stress being put on the frame ahead of the front wheels. Not only that but all the weight carried in the bucket loads the front axle, tires, and spindles. I broke a spindle on a 318 when I was just backing it out of the garage. As I said this is only my opinion.
