Joe, it definately looks like a good workout. I use a wheel barrel often(firewood etc.) and would love to have a 2 wheeled wheel barrel. I've been told by those that have them that you will never go back to 1 wheel.

Wag,

My neighbor has a 2 wheeled 8cu. ft wheel barrel that I've used...

It is nice in that you don't have to worry about the balance issue...

I just didn't like the lack of maneuverability...less than what you have with a 1 wheeler...

But I could get used to the 2 wheel version...I've used both...

Morning Joe! I've always had good luck with the standard one-wheeler, as long as it has a solid front wheel, and not a tubed one.

Mine has a tubed front wheel...which I actually prefer...helps to absorb some of the bounce going up and over stuff!...but i can see the advantages of a hard front wheel!

That's a lot of mulch Joe! Got any grass left?

Unfortunately I have a few cubic yards of stone coming soon and I ain't looking' forward to that. I may have to get one of those 2 wheelers. With a motor.

Been too wet do do anything here lately and it doesn't look any better for the next few days, or so they say.

Have a good hump day all, I'll have a good Friday.

When I did the 10 ton of river stone around the pool I hired two local kids to shovel the rock into the wheel barrel, I took it and dumped it where I wanted while they filled the wheel barrels. Cost me $40 plus pizza and soda!

Evening everyone! Looks like a hole lotta work going on. That's what wore me out in a short 64 years. You guys should save yourselves, life is too short. Have a happy thirsty Thursday.

That's a good idea!

Yeah same here. I need a rider.

On a more somber note, one of the QA associates where I work died there today. Although I had spoken with her several times through the years I didn't really know her that well... but still. Pretty sudden and shocking to many of her closer co-workers. The saddest part is she was only 41 and was looking forward to seeing her 8th grader graduate at the end of the month. Send a good thought his way. He's gonna need it.

Good Morning All!


Thoughts and prayers for all she left behind, 41 is way too young!
