a great wheelbarrow
I'm wondering what type of wheelbarrows everyone uses? I switched last year from the traditional, old school, 1 wheel wheelbarrow to a 2 wheel cart / wheelbarrow. The difference in ease of use is night and day!
With the old one much of the weight is supported by your arms and hauling large quantities of material became tiring, quickly. With the newer style the weight is supported over a solid axle on the 2 big tires. Moving this thing is almost effortless.
I moved 1/2 ton of compost today in just a few trips. With the old wheelbarrow it would have killed me!

I can't believe I'm posting about a wheelbarrow but this thing makes life MUCH easier!
How about you guys, any favorite type of wheelbarrow?

Re: a great wheelbarrow
I bought a similar Jackson dual wheel wheel barrow from Lowes last year. Great addition! It is so stable with a bunch of stuff in it. I have mulch to move to the flower beds every year so the upgrade was well worth it. I think I've seen the one you've pictured at Samsclub. Looked pretty good and at a great price.

Re: a great wheelbarrow
I bought a dually from Sams Club a couple years ago. It's one of the best tools I've ever purchased. It makes moving mulch, dirt, whatever, a breeze compared to a single wheel.
Going from a rusty metal tray and rotting wood handles to a poly tray with metal handles was a big plus.
