    Wheelbarrow recommendations please

    Should be pretty straightforward but I was looking at reviews. I need one for a lot of yard projects including moving patio pavers around. Any recommendations? 1 wheel or 2? I am assuming the flat-less tires are not what they advertise when moving heavy stuff?

    The blue Jackson from Home Depot or Lowes. Air in the tire is smoother over rough terrain.

    I put this on here in jest, because wheelbarrows are a lot of work.

    I have a good-sized one with a no-flat front tire. No problems moving heavy loads with it at all. I don't really care if the items in the wheelbarrow have a smooth ride or not. It's still better than having to air it up every time you want to use it.

    I went to this and my single wheel wheelbarrow gathers rust now. It has the added bonus of be able to be pulled with the lawnmower. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pr...dump-cart-gw-8

    I’m looking to buy one with dual wheels in the front for extra stability. Getting to old to handle the balance on one wheel.

    We got our first 1200 lb Gorilla Cart a few years ago, the wheelbarrow never gets used.

    Bought a Kobalt AKA Lowe’s wheelbarrow last year that is very large and has duel airless wheels. I’ve moved so much dirt, large rocks and Patio stones and fire wood and have not had any issues. I just moved 15yards of Gravel Fines last week without issues. I’m 53 and my balance is not the best so I went for the duel wheels and don’t miss airing up the tires. I’m sure Home Depot has a similar version. I got mine on sale last year for 15bucks off plus my 10% military discount.

    Pretty much the way I look at it too. Hate finding out it's flat every spring and needs fresh bead seal but then might not hold air for the season. Most mid-level wheelbarrows will last for decades if you store them inside.

    I'm tall so I have to get rid of that bar in front or else I'll repeatedly be brought up short on every little bump and crack my shins. Not hard to add a threaded rod behind the wheel to keep it from splaying.

    Yep, same here. Also can tow it with the lawn mower. Wish I would of bought it 40 years ago. Would have saved me many a wheelbarrowing.

    This is what I have...and used today and will use again tomorrow. I did have to replace the handles after the neighbors broke one of them. After some searching, I found a pair of oak handles, and replaced all the nuts & bolts with stainless steel stuff. I put newspaper plastic bags (or bread bags) over the handles and secure them with a bungee cord. That's to keep the handles from weathering, and protect the finish during outdoors storage. The rest is fine. Tire has air in it 24/7. The single wheel is probably easier to steer around. I've never liked 2 wheel garden carts. Wife and widow neighbor both have them. Meh.....
    Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.

    I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.

    Borrow your neighbors.
    Hopefully he has a single wheel model.

    You may need it after reading some of this "doom porn™"
