Title: Garden Trolley
Post by: trev_pulsecity on May 20, 2011, 23:34

Anyone else got one of these?

What do you make of it?

I am buying one as I have very, very long arms after pushing my tools across town in my (t)rusty wheelbarrow. I use the smaller version of this at work and its quite easy to pull even when fully loaded. My hope is this one having bigger wheels will go up and down kerbs without a fuss aswell.

That's a decent looking piece of kit trev. :) I know a couple of people on here have made those or similar and I'm sure they'd be happy to show your their designs, if you felt up to a building challenge! :D

I don't see the wheel size in the listing,bigger the better for riding up kerbs etc!have you asked the question to clarify?

It seems to be the same as this one!

Which specifies 12" wheels, so same as a wheel barrow?

My very (t)rusty wheel barrow can handle the two kerbs in question as long as you hit them fast enough, I usually find pulling it up them easier than pushing.
