Three Tire Wheelbarrow

So much better than a conventional one tire wheelbarrow. I use mine twice a day to take hay out across the hilly pasture to my horse and donkeys. It rolls easily over even rough terrain and makes heavy loads a cinch to transport. I leave it inside the pasture so the animals have access to it, but thanks to its sturdy construction it is holding up nicely even when they move it around. I love the fact that it does not tip over like the one wheel type and that the weight is supported by the three wheels, not partially by me.

I spotted this wheelbarrow on Home Depot's website. All reviews were high. Then I seen it here on Amazon for a lower price, I just had to have it. I got it real fast using Prime. I couldn't wait. I received several packages at the same time. I saved the best for last, so I thought. I opened up the package and spread out all the parts, consulting my assembly instructions, couldn't wait to put it together. One major problem, the handles, referred to as Part A, were missing !. I can understand a missing bolt, a nut, even a washer, but one of the main structural components? Now, I see that another reviewer received this wheelbarrow with the handles missing also. No, you cannot go to the hardware store and replace these handles. Unlike a regular wheelbarrow that has wooden handles, this one has metal handles that are engineered to fit this wheelbarrow. What does this say about this manufacturer? Talk about lousy quality control. Too bad, this looks like it would be a near perfect wheelbarrow.Update 3-31-15, Seems the handle fiasco is an Amazon mistake. I have reordered it as I learned from the manufacturer's post that the wheelbarrow comes in 2 cartons. Amazon had them, but was not shipping both cartons. Their bad. But as always, Amazon is making good. I had this product for about a year now. Ok, I have done heavy physical labor my entire life, so I would think that this would be tough for many tor turn and to dump. I push down, hard, and pivot it to turn. I squat down and bench press the handle to lift and dump. Many could not do this. The tires on this thing are really bad. Every time I need it they are flat. They are already cracked and I am now looking for flat free tires to replace them. My last contractor wheelbarrow had the original wheels on it after 27 years when I put it out on the curb when I moved. This one has been kept outside, but in the shade all the time. Update; I asked where I could get tires/wheels for this thing and some good person here on Amazon suggested a tire store. I never thought of that one. I live in a small town, so I call a Discount Tire store here, and guess what, they did have Carlisle Flat free tires. I ran right over and purchased two, they were $28 each. I had the same problem that we have here on Amazon and the other stores. I had to settle for a tire that was bigger in diameter, no big deal, but the 3 in hub description didn't work. There wasn't enough room on the axle for this universal tire. It just didn't have enough room to even get the cotter pin in, much less the washer. So I ground off the inner washers that are tack welded to the axle. I then just used the bushings that came with the tire to fill in the empty space on the axle. Great! Update 02-03-15 Received the complete wheelbarrow, love it. Went together easy enough, no parts missing. I loaded it with a big load, and as expected, it handled the load with ease. To turn a sharp corner all you have to do is push down on the handle and pivot the wheelbarrow. I think everyone who values their back should have one of these. The handle is up high so you don't have to lean over and you never will have to lift the load to move it.. With the pneumatic tires it pushes easily over dirt and gravel. Again, with the high handle if you want to dump a load, all you do is squat down and lift up press it up and the load is out.

The design is quite good. It falls down on execution. Cheap Ubolts that hold the axle came pre stripped for me. Totally unnecessary. Easily fixed, but I expected better. Under sized carriage bolts. Plastic spacer between the tub and frame is piss poor. Again,easily fixed. I am an equipment mechanic for a nursery. I have all the tools and materials to fix poorly made products. Are you??? This could be the best product of its type in the industry. But it isnt, yet. Someone needs to fix the cheapness and foreign made problems and step up . The costs would be negligible. FIX THIS! Its too good of a design to suffer from cheapness! I fixed mine and no one is getting it back from me.

This an unique wheelbarrow. I am an elderly person whose physical abilities have diminished over the years. I have got to the point where I was having difficulty managing a traditional 1 wheel unit. I gave it away & purchased this 3 tire unit. Problem solved. I can load this to the max & have no problems.

Package didn't contain wheelbarrow handles or assembly instructions. I suppose I could have went to the hardware store and bought replacement handles, but I think I will by an entire wheel barrow instead. Product is poor quality, sharp edges on rolled steel edge. Wedge shaped risers between handles and bucket are cheap, hard plastic. I wouldn't dare use this for hauling more than leaves!

Awesome wheel barrel! Rather than lifting (hurting the back ) you can push it like a shopping cart which makes life easier. Durable metal and wheels. We are happy with our purchase.

Good price and prompt shipping. I'm disappointed with the way this item was packed. The wheels and metal parts were shipped without protective padding in the tub - bouncing around in transit chipped up the paint in the tub and on the handle. Yeah I know, it's a wheelbarrow and going to get banged up during normal use. But, it would have been nice to have pristine looking piece to start out with. Assembly is fairly easy if the directions are followed. Even though lock nuts are provided, I added my own washers during assembly. Someone wanted to know its weight limit. If you're going to haul around wet cement, this is not the barrow for you. It performs well with a full load of mulch or light top soil. But, don't expect to max it out with heavy clay soil or shale… it won't be easy to push nor tip out. My one complaint: with all loads, dumping the entire contents is an effort. I always have to grab it by the rear axle and shake out every last bit.

The accuracy of the parts is horrible and horrible instructions. The instructions don't even mention where the washers that were included go. I had to look up an assembly video online. The handle came all scratched up and does not fit together very well. I'm waiting for it to pop out. When attaching the wheels to the axle, you are supposed to place a washer on each side of the wheel and then out the pin thru the hole to keep the wheel on the axle. One side went on very easily. The other side needed me to run to the hardware store and look for the thinnest washers I could find. That failed. I had to remove both washers to get the pin in. The tub came with scratches in it already too. I assume this was from sliding the metal parts into the box and scrapings the tub. For the price paid, which is 2-3 times the cost of a regular wheelbarrow, I expected a better paint coating. As far as the functionality of this wheelbarrow, it's great. It saved my back after moving 10 yards of mulch. Even my 7 year old daughter could push it. I had to help her turn though. I gave it 3 stars because the parts, assembly and instructions are really bad. Like other reviewers have stated, this could be a top performing product over every other wheelbarrow if they fixed these small issues.
