ROFL so predictable..

And that wheelbarrow is great for grandma and her backyard garden - moving around flowers, tools, etc when her wagon won't cut it


And +1 on the "Alky hasn't done any real work with a wheelbarrow, ever."

This thread delivers.

Only if you want grandma to slip a disk.

I just gotta ask, what counts as a "yard". The last couple yards I have/had weren't measured in square feet. They were measured in acres. And the amount of sticks, debris (and occassional tree) I cleaned up on a yearly basis weren't measured in the cubic feet. They were measured in the cubic truckload. I didn't need a wheelbarrow...I needed a freaking chainsaw and a truck to clean up.

I used 50 gallon garbage cans w/ wheels to pick up sticks and leaves after storms/in the fall. They were tall so you could actually put a meaningful amount of stuff in them and then compress it down. Plus it was at a comfortable operating height for me to dump/stuff things into them. I could jam 5x the number of leaves into one of those cans than I could any wheelbarrow. And it only cost me $20 for the can and it also doubled as trash can on garbage days.

But hey, I wouldn't know anything about taking care of a yard.

fwiw - it's not supposed to be a wheelbarrel. It's a yard cart and even in the description, it states it's not a wheelbarrel. The ability to drop the the handles to the ground allows for sweeping yard debris directly into it(something you can't do with a wheelbarrel).

It's meant for yard work and overpriced for it's intended use.

Do I sense a Jerboy type poster being made for Alky in the near future?

I'd wait until alky posts about how much he hates homeless people / loves splashing them when driving through puddles.

no, it goes under my back deck or (gasp) in the garage.

also, FUCK that piece of shit contraption in the OP.

That's not a "yard"... that's land. A yard is more like a house in a neighborhood in a city or suburb where you have to take care of your little section of it and you are surrounded by other homes around you.

Since you asked

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I won't call it useless, but if you have a heavy load, getting it off the ground is going to be a literal pain in the back.

 

[alkemyst]

Ok I guess for a post hole digger this *might* be useful because those are annoying to get at wheelbarrow height. However a regular shovel is far superior for bringing dirt up to wheelbarrow height than trying to lift this abortion of a design from ground height when it's loaded with dirt.

It acts as a lever in the sense that is completely fails as a design. Traditional wheel barrows have the wheel slightly forward of the C.G. so you might only need to pick up 5-10% of the weight from a bit lower than hip lvl. The way this crap thing is designed you would likely need to pick up 40% or so of the weight.........from ground level.........

I really doubt you've ever done any manual labor outside if you are suggesting this is superior when digging things up. If I was digging up a mix of dirt and rocks I would want to move them with a traditional wheelbarrow. If I was digging up a large stump I would want to move it with a traditional wheelbarrow. If I was digging up potted plants them maybe I would move them with this shit, but I would rather move a lot of potted plants efficiently hence using a traditional wheelbarrow.

i have owned two homes with pretty decent landscaping, being you can't see this use shows you probably havent helped your dad enough in the yard.

all wheelbarrows will require an initial lift, like this one once up the weight is on the wheel.

omfg. blow yourself more.

lol. Alkemyst is definitely fucking with us. If you wanted to fill one of those carts up to maximum capacity you would have to have someone hold it up while you put stuff in there. Otherwise it would be laying on the ground and wouldn't hold much.

He's not trolling.. This is just how alky is. We still love him..

can you list all these amazing uses its better at than a real wheelbarrow?

moving landscaping rocks?
mulch?
dirt?
sacrete mixing?


thats what I use mine for, and yours definately fails at that unless I want to make 100 trips


also its not really a lever, since the wheel is fulcrum and its the end point, not in the middle of the 'device'

[sjwaste]

5 pages for this wheeled kite with handles contraption? Wow.

Tell you what, if you want to use this, go for it. The rest of us can use our regular wheelbarrows and be happy. I don't see the use for this thing. If I need to "haul" a lighter load than a normal wheelbarrow, I'll use a shovel and a trash can. Need to sweep things in? Lay trash can on its side!

This.

That product is intended for those with more money than sense.

yeah dirt and gravel don't work in it...just falls out the bottom.

Fucking rednecks use a wheelbarrow to mix their concrete in. Rent a freaking mixer for a real pour.

Yippee Ki Aye!

The 'garage' here hurts my head too many times to bother.

I poured the concrete base to my patio, and had a mixer. But we still used a whell barrow to move concrete to most of the places that needed it.

The mixer is for mixing, it actually sucks at pouring unless your're doing one huge block where you can dump it then move it around with shovels. We were doing some areas where there was only a 4" opening for concrete, whellbarrow was able to pour in perfectly.

I was refering to a patio, I'd have about 4 dudes doing that for me. For spot work you should be able to work out of the mixer for the most part.

However; I doubt....really really doubt most here are going to see concrete mixing in their futures.

For that I have a wheelbarrow I leave out of the garage. It's a monster for most jobs. For the standard working with my Palm trees and foliage this would work much better.

I have never said in this thread this replaced all other wheelbarrows. However; most are very wrong in the mechanics this uses and it's not bad to lift compared to a standard one.

You may just may want to ask your science teacher about levers. /facepalm.

Anywho...it's got a pretty decent cubic foot capacity and rated at 300lbs. That's a lot of mulch, Francis.

Again with the concrete mixing though. Didn't know ATOT'ers were free masons.

We're not free masons. We're cheapskate masons. Huge difference.
