I can't manage a barrow with any amount in it anymore, but these 4 wheeled trolleys are easy to pull about. I have had one down the wood for years to cart logs in and now bought a second one for home. The tipper function works great. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0743FDY24/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Looks perfect for the job, the tipper function is the icing on the cake: mix compost or soil etc in it then tip it where needed. It also an easier height for saving old folks backs and knees - and more stable than a one wheel barrow. A bit of scaffold board across the top would make for a good seat too.

They work fine, but are a bit overkill on a barrow. Its this type that you put in place of the jockey wheel. They are useless for most caravans as underpowered, but would work on a small truck.

Mice! Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 I've never even seen one of those @loriusgarrulus I normally just watch on jealousy after pushing and shoving my caravan into place 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 I have a petrol, caterpillar tracked power barrow wrapped up under a tarpaulin never been used. It was delivered just before Andrew went into hospital. It was bought to use in the wood. My Nephew finished putting it together and powered it up to check it for me. It is a bit of a beast though and a bit much for tootling round a normal garden with. I might put it on here in other sales shortly as I am never going to use it. 🤷♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar one sat in the garage, unused. Makes more noise than a tractor with no exhaust and I think the speed is 1 yard(metre) per minute.

I think I am going to try and build the golf cart into a garden truck. It is purely for weeding and carrying the necessary tools. That will cost me just a few hours work and I have a plastic 25ltr drum I can cut for the container. 1 hour ago, loriusgarrulus said: I have a petrol, caterpillar tracked power barrow wrapped up under a tarpaulin never been used.

Great for recovering deer etc but as said just a bit over the mark for what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up and running within the hour and it has self propulsion - oh why oh why did I put it off for so long?????. Anyway, to get to the point, I have my old mower available for uplift/ take away, still works very well (Briggs and Stratton engine) serviced by myself over the last 20 years of ownership. The sprung bit that holds onto the grass box broke off and I could not be bothered welding it - and fixing the carriage as well ,so any takers????? Near Glenrothes in Fife. Pushkin Is that the one that is compatible with E10 petrol? Edited May 15, 2023 by yates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkin Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Is that the one that is compatible with E10 petrol? Edited May 15 by yates Yates, yes I believe so. Just use petrol from our local garage and it works fine. Isn't all petrol E10 compliant in the UK now? Sorry for the delay in answering.
