That's it, I've had enough. I'm buying an electric wheelbarrow

[Roger440]

I bought a tracked electric barrow, Google mule.

 

Got to say it's been fantastic. Will shift 250kg over almost any terrain, certainly places I'd never have got a wheelbarrow.

 

As you observed, pricey.

Well, I bit the bullet : 1 tonne moved a hundred meters or so . 

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you

Very generous.

Is that the one i see about £550?

 

How is it over rough terrain, or soft?

Congrats. Work smarter not harder!

 

Always surprised when I see people manual handling relatively large amounts of stuff when there is a machine that can be easily hired/bought and can do the job in a fraction of the time. Sure, money is a factor but in so many cases using the machine works out cheaper even if you don't value your time/health.

Over 2" stone , loosely compacted driveway : the bogie wheel digs in

Over 20mm stone the bogie wheel digs in too. 

Up a 20% slope loaded with two wrigglers giggling their little heads off - OK as long as they  moved their weight over the drive shaft

I'm thinking about  'age-appropriateness' in terms of keeping myself out of the NHS's hair.
