A dump cart includes a frame; a pair of wheels rotatably coupled to the frame by at least one axle; a bed frame pivotally coupled to the frame so that the bed frame may be pivoted relative to the frame between a lowered, hauling position and a raised, dumping position; a bed attached to the bed frame for receiving and hauling objects; a removable tow bar having a first end that may be attached to the frame and a second end that may be attached to a towing vehicle so that the towing vehicle may pull the dump cart; and a wheelbarrow attachment accessory that may replace the removable tow bar to convert the dump cart to a wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow attachment accessory includes a draw bar; a mounting bracket attached to a first end of the draw bar that may be removably attached to the frame; a pair of handles attached to a second end of the draw bar that may be gripped by a user to move and maneuver the wheelbarrow; and at least one leg depending from the draw bar for supporting the draw bar and handles above the ground. The dump cart may also include a lift assist mechanism coupled between the frame and the bed frame for biasing the bed frame toward its raised, dumping position so as to assist a user in dumping objects from the wheelbarrow.
