I am going to look at EE carts this year. What company is the best to order from?
Ozark carries the CTM cart, which, as I mentioned, is pretty much identical to the Frontier (older carts had a narrower hub, but now they've gone to a good, sturdy hub and wheel. The CTM shaft is ever-so-slightly heavier than the Frontier).Thanks for your answers. I have looked at carts from Ozark Mountain and Big Dee's, are they any good?

I'd check prices and shipping on orders through Ozark and directly from CTM. One may have a lower price, yet shipping could be higher. Ozark has had them on sale right around Nationals time, so if you can wait you'd get a great deal.
[A personal story regarding the CTM cart: After I had used mine all of two times, we were transporting on the roof of our old van. At 55 mph, despite heavy duty tie-downs, the cart broke loose, flew off the roof and slammed onto the pavement seat back first (thank goodness nobody was close behind!!!) We expected the entire cart to be demolished, but we found that the basket, shafts, singletree/brace, axle and one wheel were undamaged. One wheel taco-ed and the backrest supports on the seat were squashed. While we had to borrow a cart for our event the next day, we later replaced the damaged parts and were back in business.]
You can order Frontier direct from the manufacturer and through Prime Design and others. Prime Design travels to many shows, so you might see if that would save on shipping.
I would call and ask Big Dee's who manufactures their carts.
I would ABSOLUTELY agree with Katiean about avoiding the cheap Chinese carts. Can you say JUNK?

I recommend the G & S Cart. (The trail cart in particular.)I am going to call around because I want american made, cart and harness. Both are going to be used for pleasure driving. I doubt that I will be doing any showing. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
