have 2 neighbors that had A&L carts. said they were good carts till something went wrong, then good luck. I'm not sure what breaks on carts, as my Parker 710 with scales has been on my farm for over 13 years, and it has never broke anything (ok, last year I broke a rim, but I don't really blame that on the cart....). both neighbors broke axles and couldn't locate anyone with axle parts, so they had a machine shop make one. I think the carts are ok, but parts changed lots through the years and hard to find them now.
