Archie, when we were heating with wood a few years ago, I found that a two wheeled garden cart worked well to transport fire wood over rough ground. This cart had two 20 or 24 inch bicycle wheels with inflatable tires and a bar type handle at the front. It was easy to maneuver and I could hall large loads of wood without much effort. The one that we had was made by Gardenway and I seem to remember that we purchased it from an Ag-way store.
For hauling dirt and rocks around the yard, on the rare occasion that I can't find a grandchild to operate the bucket loader, I use a four wheeled cart that looks like a child's wagon on steroids. This four wheeled cart is made by John deer and came from Home Depot. It resembles a large fiberglass bathtub, on four wheels with inflatable tires, and a handle like a child's wagon at the front. This cart can be dumped by raising one end of the bathtub. Depending on what your hauling it can be pretty heavy if you fill it too full. I seems to get the job done quite a bit faster if I happen to be moving material down hill.

Hi All, For skinned shins, my wife got me a pair of plastic shin guards with an elastic sleeve that I just pull on. I think they are a pain but, they save a lot of skin. Dale, how well do the caster wheels work on rough uneven ground. Also how high is the handle, I'm 6'4" do you think I would be able to stand up straight while pushing the wheelbarrow. John is the two wheeled a lot easier two use then the single, I'm doing fire wood for this winter, and need a wheelbarrow that is more stable, because moving the wood about 1000 feet over uneven ground with lots of small rocks. If you have any thoughts, I like to here them. Thanks! Archie --- In [email protected], john schwery <jschw...@...> wrote: > > We have a 2 wheel barrow that we like.
