These 4 solid rubber tires weigh as much as everything else. What new tire configuration do you suggest to lighten the load?

A pair of solid rubber wheelchair wheels/tires might be the ticket.  They are sturdy and could handle the load.  They are not the very lightest but I would say they are much lighter that what you have now?  Just an idea to "get your wheels turnin'"

Cut it down to two tires perhaps.

How much weight are you talking?  Those kid bike trailers hold a lot of weight - 80 pounds, and work great on 2 tires so i imagine you may be able to cut weight there.

It's not hard to pull @ all, UNTIL I tried to pull it during a rain storm lastnight. I was 1/4 from the truck got into a muddy stretch of road. The wheel caked up SOLID w/ mud. I thought ok I'll drag it, well that lasted for only 75 yds!!!
I ended up locking it to a tree, letting it dry out & I'll break the mud loose, & take  to a carw wash. I was just thinking either switching tires or some how to keep the mud out. I'll post a pic of it, when I go back tonight. It's kinda funnyreally, lugging that crap through a heavy downpour for a mile in the dark. Yeah that was fun!!!  :scared:

Try these:
 

It used to be called Roleez.  My former dentist invented them and they roll real nice on the beach and are light.  You can look at them here:

I've seen them used on catamarans, jet skis, and even on wheelbarrows (on masonry jobsites).

wow those wheels would cost more than than the cart itself.  Looks like they would work real well though.
