Don't Break Your Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By Geralyn Hydock on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
How many of us have gone for a ride in a wheelbarrow? I recall riding in one as a child. Those days are gone but not my need for a wheelbarrow. Gardening is a passion of mine and I am constantly adding new plants, adding new dirt, etc. Instead of lugging the various items by hand, my wheelbarrow makes my work a lot lighter and easier.
This wheelbarrow provides the individual with unsurpassed handling loads of sand, rock, gravel or whatever your hearts content. A unique feature is that the wheels allow for tipping in only one direction which is the preferred one for uploading. This wheelbarrow is the perfect one when handling either light or heaviers loads.
Most wheelbarrows are constructed out of metal which tends to rust over time but this one is made out of seamless polyethelyne. This baby will be around for a long time. I find the plastic to be much lighter which is a plus for anyone who suffers with a bad back. The wheels are 8x 15"x3 1/2" pneumatic, 4 ply rated and maneuver very well over many types of terrain.
This wheelbarrow also has front tray braces and an H brace. The long, wooden handles make use comfortable and they actually balance on what you may be pushing. My wheelbarrow has been through a lot of use and still has many years of use ahead. I've used it to mix concrete, haul stones, patio brick, and soil, collect leaves, and take the kids for rides. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great wheelbarrow!

sounds like the perfect wheelbarrow for you! We have an old metal one and that thing is heavy to push around sometimes. I think a plastic type one would be easier. Luckily we don't use it all that much and when we do my husband usually does the pushing ;)
This sounds like a great wheelbarrow. We have a couple of metal ones and they are all rusted and extremely heavy. Wish I had one of these in time for mulching.
Sounds like a great wheelbarrow for the price. Thanks for sharing your experience with this!
I think it is great that this is not made out of metal-this will definitely last you for years & years!
