I've been using a large garden cart for about the last 15 yrs. Just rebuilt it last year. It hauls a ton of wood without worry of spillage and it rides on two large diameter bicycle tires which roll over rough terrain easily. The cart is great for garden and yard waste cleanup too. The end is removable to accommodate longer branches.

How can you hook something like that up to a lawn tractor, BG ??
 
I'm the motive power for the cart. I usually make 2 trips a week to fill up the wood box on the porch in the winter. It's downhill and the cart is well balanced on large bicycle wheels so not a big deal even for an old fart. The large tires even out rough terrain well. When loading the shed I have a metal cart for the lawn tractor but I usually use my truck cuz it holds more in one load.

Depending on the size of the barrow, and length of the splits - you can go the other way with it too, and extend the sides rather than the ends, and stack two stacks in there going the other way. That might increase the wobble effect too though - likely less of a concern with the dual wheel barrow, depending on the terrain.
 
I like my dually

I got one last year. Way easier than the single wheel.
