Friends don't let friends own wheelbarrows.

It's hard to get my tractor thru the pool gate and past the garden wall, up onto the patio. There's always use for a wheelbarrow.

Moreover, the more I use the tractor and the less I use my wheelbarrow, the more I realize how soft the tractor is making me, each time I need to revert. I used to spend most of a weekend pushing a wheelbarrow full of mulch or firewood all over my hilly yard, for many years before getting a front-end loader, but now it'd probably kill me after so many years of relying mostly on the loader.

Can you show how you attached it to the forks? That is a good idea and I have an old wheelbarrow basket.

It will only be loud the first time you do it.



When we bought our current place, I made sure to order a 10' gate be put in when the fencing contractor put in our fully enclosed backyard fence.

yeah, a wheelbarrow and a tractor are both tools, use the tool that makes the specific job easier. I'm not lugging a wheelbarrow across the yard and handling the load more often if the tractor fits.

I use a wheelbarrow to bring wood from the tote shed (next to the garage, holds 2 totes of wood) to my wood box, which is built into the house - door to the outside is on the deck and door to the inside is right next to the wood stove. Wheelbarrow is also used when weeding and garden tasks.

I probably use the hand truck as much or more than the wheelbarrow. Tractor is used if there's room and hundreds of pounds to move but the wheelbarrow and hand truck are right there and if there's two minutes of work I'd just as soon not drain the battery and leave condensation in the pipes on a short task.

I use the gorilla cart to haul wood from the stack to the front rack.
Also to take garbage and recycling down to the cans.
Small twigs and brush to be dumped.

used almost every day for small tasks where I don't need a tractor sitting around.

I load a tier of firewood across the back of my truck with the tonneau cover, park it next to the door and bring it into the house as needed. That will change next winter as I should have my garage built. Then I'll unload it from the truck or tractor bucket onto the porch, and feed the stove from there.

Excellent! Thank You! A new purpose for my old wheelbarrow basket.

I have a similar wheel barrow my wife said she wanted to buy a utility cart to haul around behind the zero turn for gardening.

I pointed out to where we park and said "Why??? There is a self propelled wheel barrow parked next to the trailer!!!"
