I wimped out when I bought our wheelbarrow a couple years ago. It has two wheels on it rather than the single. Doesn't make 300lbs of black dirt push any easier... but it doesn't tip over while pushing it. Either way. Couple dozen loads pushed across our yard kicks this old mans butt.That’s never fun. At least you didn’t face plant. When I have to bring heavy stuff to the back yard, I have to go down a slope that drops 6 feet…in the space of 24 feet. Wheelbarrows full of loam will want to move quickly…gravity is a harsh mistress.
Wheelbarrow observation: You can leave a wheelbarrow outside in plain sight for all to see. It will never get stolen.
