    The horse ladies broke it by rolling round bales off a truck onto it. I guess it worked fine for a few bales till the front axle snapped.

    Works amazingly well. The two wheels for extra stability nice enhancement.
    The double wheel ones are bigger and hold a bunch of more wood than others.

    2 wheel wheelbarrows work real good for wood . Nothing worse than knocking a fully loaded 1 wheel and having to reload.

    My experience is plastic especially when cold breaks when hit by firewood.. Be gentle as possible and you might be OK.. I have destroyed at least 3 plastic garden carts with firewood (ask my wife lol).. I've been using a yellow steel yard cart I bought from Lowes and it has taken a beating! Love the pneumatic tires and the abuse this cart can take.. Hope that cart holds up for you.. This is what mine looked like when new:

    I like it. Can't find if the plastic will crack in sub zero temps. The dump feature is really good. Good garden cart ESP. for spreading mulch etc.

    You guys might laugh at me, but during the winter, I often use a kids toboggan to move pellets from the garage to the house. I can pull it right out of the garage, across the driveway and up the ramp right into the glassed in porch. If I don't overload it, this is fairly easy. No worry about it tipping, Pellets are usually 40 pound bags. About the size of a bag of mulch

    I use a normal one wheel wheelbarrow and can concur, loading a full load only to have it slowly tip over before you can grab it is frustrating :hair:

    Brings back memories.. I used old baby carriages, kids wagons and garden carts, pretty much anything with wheels.. Broke them all lol.. So far the steel Lowes wagon has been the best but it looks like they aren't as rugged now and have smaller wheels.. The bigger wheels are better in snow or rugged terrain..

    I can still picture my plastic sled I used as a kid that served me well for years dragging firewood through the snow twenty years ago as a teenager. Worked great when it didn't tip over, which was often! ;)

    Thanks. I cant say enough good about the TufX brand of wheelbarrows.http://tufx-fort.com/sites/tufxfort/ This is my second one. The first was a 1 wheel. It still gets used for tight places because the 2 wheel isnt as nimble. Its well over 10 years old, lives outside, and has been well overworked.. They have 2 lines however, one homeowner and one professional. I only buy the professional/commercial grade.

    Of course, I also have my "powered wheelbarrow" that gets used the most of all ;)
