    Well, now that I'm fat'R and older and my back, arms and shoulders just ain't what they used to be, I broke down this morning and bought this after much research and what I could afford.
    I looked at several Gas powered wheel barrows, really liked the big Honda one but it was $7000.00 o_O I got this through Home Depot, delivered to the door for $2200.00 I got a military discount also. The last few years, Chris and I wheel barrow every piece of wood to our back yard when we stack it, now were only talking about 150ft, but DAM it feels like 2 miles. :(:binoculars:I moved about a half cord of Oak into the back yard yesterday via wheel barrow and my A$$ was DONE! I hurt like Mike Tyson beat me for 9 rounds...:pain: This has got the tracks instead of wheels and I will be able to use this up North in New Hampshire also, my land is all up hill mostly o_O in all directions! :rofl: :lol:. Anyway, anyone have one of these and do you like it?

    Your body will thank you for that purchase. This is what we were using for the longest time. If you can get your hands on one, they are super durable. Liked the first one so much, I bought another.

    I've been quietly watching local for sale posts for one of these for my dad. I'm sure it will make burning a much more enjoyable endeavor! :dex:

    I shopped all over the web this morning from about 5am on. There's not a whole lot of companies make these, I got mine though Home Depot and they will deliver to the door here. :) The machine weighs over 300lbs so it was a no brainer for me and I don't have to go pick it up. The same machine in Lowes is about $500.00 more. o_O It'll be worth it. I just had to swallow my manly stupid pride :doh: and realize the S#!T hurts to much anymore!

    Sounds good.

    Working smarter not harder usually costs $'s.

    This will come in handy up on the top of my land Mike unless I use the loader. There isn't much use for a "push" type standard wheel barrow. :headbang::picard:

    You're gonna like that a lot, I think Dave. The guy I eventually sold ours to, remarks on his FB page how much he and his wife love it. They use it for all kinds of stuff. Can't beat the tracks.

    I was pondering over the wheeled one vs. tracks. After some never ending "Flat tire situations" when I need something, I decided thats the way to go... I hope I won't have any problems with them down the road, if for what ever reason I need one.

    I could probably make all kinds of work for such a machine. A buddy's dad had the DR power wagon and used it pretty regular.

    Those tracks are pretty tough. They really shine moving heavy weight up a steep hill. Just gotta be sure to "back" down same hill with weight... or the machine will roll forward on ya. Have fun.

    VERY Nice for the money!!! Can't argue with that. :cool::yes: I couldn't find anything used around here sadly. I'm in to much of a Resort/mild Urban area, a neighborhood type environment. Very few people burn for heat around me.

    Very nice machine, Dave.
    Contractor at our plant had one with dual wheels, stand on platform and power dump, moved concrete and dirt with it. No telling how much $$$ it was.
