Gotta love a new dually !!!

The old one is 10 + years, I'm waiting to be pushing a load of firewood, and the bottom of the tub to crash and burn. Cracks abound . Handles painted 4 x's, too

The no flats are 12+ years old, I'll swap them out when the old one dies :p

Wheelbarrow p*rn, lol. Only on Hearth.com!
 
Show us another pic once you get it real dirty!


Sorry, I’m in one of those moods where I can just crack myself up with lame guy jokes. My wife lives half way through a perpetual eye roll and sigh.

I'll get a pic of the older ones tub. It's bad. Still works, though!

No rain accumulates when it sits on the wheels during a Nor ' Easter ;lol

Lol. I like the single wheel ones better too.

I think it probably takes more practice to use them correctly though. I see a lot of people carrying them with biceps vs shoulders.

Ah, a place for wood moving connoisseurs. I like how I can maneuver my wheel barrows and that I can run them up a single plank up to the porch. I like the light weight of the plastic tubs but that comes with with how they can crack in cold weather especially when the younger ones get tossing splits. Drilled holes at the ends of cracks to limit their spread.
 
My blue plastic one is just for horse manure ..... 🤠

My wheelbarrow was my Father's and it's been around since I was a wee lad and I'm now retired. A few sets of handles and a couple of tires later. If it never carries another thing it will be too soon, I wheeled a lot of concrete with it and I despise a wheelbarrow. We have a Gardenway cart that's about 40 years old that is a lot easier to use.
 
I've come to prefer the dually's. Easier to maneuver, often with one hand.

And you are correct, have to be careful in the cold, cause they will crack!
 
I grabbed an old metal tub wheelbarrow from the farm before the auction. I have had it for 7 years. New wheel. Looks like h@ll. I have mixed a lot of concrete in it and moved a lot of firewood. The only way I would replace it is if I found a good deal on a new or used fat wheeled one. I never was a fan of the dually's (to each his own) but I think the fat wheel would move nice across my soft yard in the spring.
