Self dumping wheelbarrow

Nice… Now that looks like a heck of a wheelbarrow.. With such a short handle on the bucket itself though you’d think it hard to dump a large load, say, full of rocks..

I almost expected to see that the handle used to maturer it was also used to leverage more force when having to dump.

Then again, given the CG of the bucket, it looks like it wouldn’t be that bad.. Test it out with a full load yet?

There’s a lever on the back that engages the body.
When you release it thel oad falls forward due to the design of the ramp.
I put 12 sidewalk blocks in it today 2 at a time and no problem. The wife did the grass with it and loves it.
I have pulled my last load with the dual handled single wheeled nightmares.

Why the heck should I be carrying the load- that’s why they invented the whell.

OK…but you still have to push it and tip it, don’t you? I can’t believe the price of wheel barrows, it’s ridiculous

I guess the world price of energy is catching up to everyone now.

It certainly caught up to me, that’s why I got the new dumper. <g>

I sure you will be pleased. This one is powder coated so the finish should last better than regular paint.

Hi Bob….Nice wheelbarrow.Do the smaller wheels at the back dig in at all in soft grass?I have the same tire problem you had.Always goes flat on me.But I need one that is easy to push over rough ground and soft soil.How is this moldel for that?

I was at the new RONA super store to get some wire, plugs and switches. About 8 teller lines but only one teller to service a line up that went around the bend and of course I was at the back of the line….........only the line isnt budging. The lady at the front has a problem with a plant she was buying and the teller and her are having a lengthy conversation about the plant.

The next lady decides to pay with pennies from her change purse only her fingers are not long enough to reach the bottom of the purse…......

I put my stuff on the counter and left…......the teller chases me and tells me to use the “self check out” to which I reply…...”It doesnt take cash”........she tells me to use debit and I repeat that I want to pay with cash. I ask if I get a discount for using “self check out”...............?

who needs a wheel barrow when you have a wife….....<insert>

The shortage of trained staff in your neck of the woods GT is just a fraction of what we are finding out here.
I blame the box store mentality for this where they are open 12 -18 hours a day with skeleton staff on all shifts.
Don’t you just love waiting in line for service then finding out that th article you just chose is twice as much on the computer as it is marked on the shelf?

There is also a real vulgar public attitude out here with as you point out little or no regard of the plight of the other people needing the same service.
I goes from parking the buggy in line at the grocer then going back to shop for more to hand toweling your car at the car wash while folks wait in line.

I shop mostly on the off hours when there is no staff around to misinform or ignore me now.

p.s. Nice looking gal! Can she cook?

wheres the motor then bob

what about a boat?

saw a similar wheel barrow at Costco today for 107 Cdn $$$s, made by rubbermaid…......so I bought some salmon and have prepped for the smoker tomorrow

-- Central northish Ontario

Mike , I’m not above motorizing it if it helps me get the job done. <g>
Since I’m not the only one who uses a barrow here I thought I would relieve myself of having to be the only one who can use it.

Gt, here’s my only boat now having gone through the “phase” <g>
p.s. I have a 2.5 hp mercury on it if you feel like skiiing.

Salmon??? What time is supper?

I don’t know how it will work on really rough terrain but my compost pile is in the bush with lots of ups and downs and roots and I got down there o.k. with a bit Less pushing andshoving than I am used to.

I will consider that type of wheel barrow next time I go to buy one.

Hi Bob,
Got a very similar wheelbarrow on sale at HD last week!
just love it!
Thanks for mentioning it, so that when hubby pointed it out to me, I knew it and then it was half price!!!

I have the feeling that he will “borrow” it quite often!!

Super EK!
We are loving ours even though the old one is still working it is just collecting dust now.
I’m moving 80 lb bundles of shingles with ours now and no lifting on the handles means I can move 3 at a time.

Glad you got a deal too!

Bob

great idea for a wheelbarrow!

-- Toronto, Ontario

Looks like a neat wheel barrel. I could use something like that. With the double front wheel, it should be more stable.

I have used this new barrow for about 2 months no quite extensively and I must say I like it,
I shoveled a utility ditch in clay to 20” deep and layed the clay soll up on cancrete blocks a few yards away. Generally when tossing this tuff around you will tip the wheelbarrow if your load does’t hit the tub right. No problems with this guy.
In some instances it pulls better than it pushes but the truth is it pulls better than my conventional wheel barrow pushes too. <g>
It a bit fussier to dump completely but nothing I can’t handle with a shovel.
The powder coated surface is holing up fine given the 50 plus loads I have put through it so far.

I’d buy it again
Bob

Pretty much the same here!
As far as pushing/pulling, because of the “terrain” here, I have a lot of slopes, and it is a lot easier to handle than a regular one!
Really enjoying it and so is Hubby: seems like he has “retired” his!!!:-D
