GroundWork 8 cu. ft. 600 lb. Capacity Mega-Load Wheelbarrow

I currently have four of these wheel barrows on our farm. They work great, for me. Here is some information that might be helpful to others: 1. The bolts do come loose. I used to go around and tighten them on a regular basis. I finally bit the bullet and purchased replacement bolts and DOUBLE NUTTED them. No more bolts getting loose. 2. The wheels are not very good. However, the wheels aren't very good on any of the brands I have used. As soon as the wheels "wear out", I buy some flat free replacement wheels. As noted in other reviews, these wheels have non standard hubs. I get around it by removing the wheels and cutting down (shortening) the axle. I then place a 3/4" rod inside the axle and mount the flat free wheels on the rod. 3. The poly pan is not steel. If you want to haul heavy objects, get a heavy duty wheel barrow. The poly pan has lasted just fine for me. I make sure that the bolts are always tight so that it does not get torqued while you are using it. 4. When these are on sale (the only time I buy them) you can almost get two for the price of the "other" brand wheel barrow. So far, mine have lasted at least as long as the ones that I purchased from the home improvement stores.

This poly wheel barrow has a large carrying capacity and is very stable. However the plastic tub is short lived and not at all durable. I suppose if you hauled nothing but a few bags of potting soil around a small city yard and did not really use the product very much it may last a while. However if you use it to haul firewood in, the poly tub will give up the ghost and it will crack and break to pieces as mine has done. You would think that a company like Tractor Supply would sell products that would be up to the jobs those of us who live out beyond the side walks ask them to perform for longer than a few months. This wheel barrow has potential but they will have to design it for a bit more rigorous use than what this fragile piece of junk will.
