A transport device that includes a toe plate, a pair of side boards, a mesh backing, and a handle that is capable of being either hand-carried or mounted to a trailer hitch on a lawnmower or other slow moving motor transport. The transport device is fabricated from a steel, tubular frame and also includes at least a pair of intermediate cross braces to provide extra structural support. The handle of the transport device ha a top-mounted shank that juts out at ninety degrees, allowing the shank to be inserted into a trailer hitch of a lawnmower or other type of motorized vehicle. Once inserted into the trailer hitch, a pin, connected by a chain to the handle, can be inserted completely through a hole in the handle to secure the placement of the shank within the trailer hitch.
