Mechanical wheelbarrow

Evening everybody,

Has anyone any good or bad reviews of mechanical wheelbarrows either on tracks or preferably on wheels, like golf green type that will less damage grass too much. I do a hell of a lot of mulching in the Autumn winter months, and when I'm soft landscaping.I can look around a fair amount of my clients properties and see the benift of one. I have about 9, 3mx1m rubber matts which I can put down too to protect gardens and drive ways. Are they worth the investment, or is it more that 'you ain't got one already?'... budget would anywhere from €1000-3000..

 

Have a good weekend

 

Paul

    Tracked barrows are slow. Ive got a muck truck which is useful some of the time. They do an electric one as well which might be more useful on domestics due to noise. British company too. Check them out.

    I had a look at the Makita cordless barrow on their stand at Saltex two years ago, the first impression is it looks good, but it gets slated on reviews because it doesn’t fully empty bin onto the ground, apparently it needs someone to finish emptying it with a shovel, I cannot confirm that as I have never actually tried one.

    There were comments about the width across the wheels and getting them through gates or doors.

    I think a powered barrow could be one of those things worth hiring for a job to try before buying.

  • Thanks for the feedback guys. I was using the zipper md 500 on a landscaping job last week.For the price its a no brainer, and quick too, I think new here it's €2500 vat included. Which would be grand if I only did landscaping all year. Lumag do a whole range too but I better do more research before jumping!!..

    Thanks for the feedback
