A wheeled cart and a method for moving large and/or heavy objects along the ground which comprises a pair of main wheels mounted on an axle, a pair of side frames located between the main wheels and an open front basket mounted between and fixedly connected to the side frames. The object is loaded onto a support plate of the basket. The support plate is then raised by a power unit after which the basket can be rotated upwardly and rearwardly about the axle so as to place the weight of the object closer to or over the axle. A power source is provided for lifting the support plate and for driving the wheeled cart, both forwardly and rearwardly.

1. A wheeled cart for moving a large object along the ground, comprising: a pair of main wheels mounted on an axle,a main frame comprising a pair of side frames mounted on the axle and extending from a front location, forward of the axle, upwardly and rearwardly to a rear location located rearwardly
1. A wheeled cart for moving a large object along the ground, comprising: a pair of main wheels mounted on an axle,a main frame comprising a pair of side frames mounted on the axle and extending from a front location, forward of the axle, upwardly and rearwardly to a rear location located rearwardly of the axle,an open front basket mounted between and fixedly connected to the side frames and to the axle, the basket having a vertically extending upright back located rearward of the open front and the upright back of the basket having a lower end directly connected a support plate,a dolly wheel assembly comprising a dolly wheel located rearward of the main wheels and a dolly brace connecting the dolly wheels to the main frame rearwardly of the main wheels and forward of the rearward location of the side frames,the open basket being fixedly connected to the dolly brace, andwherein the frame and basket are mounted to be rotated together between a forward position, wherein the basket and support plate are at a forward position with the support plate near or touching the ground and the dolly wheel is off of the ground, and a rearward position wherein the basket and support plate are raised and turned about said axle, and the dolly wheel engages the ground. 2. A wheeled cart according to claim 1, including a strut assembly connecting the basket to the axle, such that as the basket is rotated about the axle, it is lifted upwardly. 3. A wheeled cart according to claim 1, including a power unit operatively connected between the support plate and the side frames to pivot the support plate about its hinged connection to the basket. 4. A wheeled cart according to claim 3, wherein the power unit comprises a hydraulic piston and cylinder. 5. A wheeled cart according to claim 4, wherein when the basket is in its forward position and the piston and cylinder are extended, the support plate is level with the ground. 6. A wheeled cart according to claim 4, including a power source which comprises an engine and a hydraulic pump mounted on the cart and supplying hydraulic fluid to the piston and cylinder. 7. A wheeled cart according to claim 6, wherein the power source is mounted on a gimbal assembly on the cart so that it is always disposed horizontal to the ground. 8. A wheeled cart according to claim 6, wherein the power source is operatively connected to the main wheels to drive the cart along the ground. 9. A wheeled cart according to claim 1, wherein when the basket is in its rearward position, the dolly wheel which engages the ground assists in steering the cart. 10. A wheeled cart according to claim 1, wherein the basket has a pair of legs on each side thereof which are fixed to the side frames and which extend downwardly with feet which engage the ground when the basket is in its forward position. 11. A wheeled cart according to claim 1, wherein in the rearward position of the basket the center of gravity of the large object is shifted closer to or over the axle, thereby facilitating movement of the wheeled cart and object along the ground. 12. A wheeled cart according to claim 1, including a power unit operatively connected between the support plate and the side frames to pivot the support plate about its hinged connection to the basket, and wherein a front of the support plate is hingedly connected to a crossbar, and the piston is operatively connected to the crossbar. 13. A wheeled cart according to claim 1, wherein the support plate is pivotable about its hinged connection to the basket. 14. A wheeled cart for moving a large object along the ground, comprising: a pair of main wheels mounted on an axle,a main frame comprising a pair of side frames mounted on the axle and extending from a front location, forward of the axle, upwardly and rearwardly to a rear location located rearwardly of the axle,an open front basket mounted between and fixedly connected to the side frames and to the axle, the basket having an upright back located rearward of the open front, and the back being connected near its bottom to the rear of a support plate,a dolly wheel assembly comprising a dolly wheel located rearward of the main wheels and a dolly brace connecting the dolly wheels to the main from rearwardly of the main wheels and forward of the rearward location of the side frames,the open basket being fixedly connected to the dolly brace,wherein the frame and basket are mounted to be rotated together between a forward position, wherein the basket and support plate are at a forward position with the support plate near or touching the ground and the dolly when is off of the ground, and a rearward position wherein the basket and support plate are raised and turned about said axle, and the dolly wheel engages the ground, andincluding a power unit operatively connected between the support plate and the side frames to pivot the support plate about its hinged connection to the basket. 15. A wheeled cart for moving a large object along the ground, comprising: a pair of main wheels mounted on an axle,a main frame comprising a pair of side frames mounted on the axle and extending from a front location, forward of the axle, upwardly and rearwardly to a rear location located rearwardly of the axle,an open front basket mounted between and fixedly connected the side frames and to the axle, the basket having an upright back located rearward of the open front, and the back being connected near its bottom to the rear of a support plate,a dolly wheel assembly comprising a dolly wheel located rearward of the main wheels and a dolly brace connecting the dolly wheels to the main frame rearwardly of the main wheels and forward of the rearward location of the side frames,the open basket being fixedly connected to the dolly brace,wherein the frame and basket are mounted to be rotated together between a forward position, wherein the basket and support plate are at a forward position with the support plate near or touching the ground and the dolly wheel is off of the ground, and a rearward position wherein the basket and support plate are raised and turned about said axle, and the dolly wheel engages, andincluding a power unit operatively connected between the support plate and the side frames to pivot the support plate about its hinged connection to the basket, and wherein a front of the support plate is hingedly connected to a crossbar, and the piston is operatively connected to the crossbar.
