The best bang for the Buck, hands down has to be the "true Temper" 6cuft that was left at my house. Its an older one, and was free. They are thicker than the newer version and seem much sturdier. For mulch, this thing would last a while, but compost, dirt or concrete would crush it haha.
I have replaced the wheels on both of my POS wheel barrows. TSC had a 13" pneumatic with dual wheel bearings for 9 bucks, so I got a few. That's the price of just the tube @ Lowe's
I'm interested too. Mainly in reveiws/issues with the larger 10cuft dual wheeled ones.

jackson contractor grade 6 cu ft or AM Leonard 6 cu ft. We have a 10 cu ft that we only use for mulching and only at certain accounts--not worth it IMHO

 

AM Leonard 8 cu ft. single wheeled. best you'll buy, not too big or too small

 

A bit costly but I like the Lifetime wheelbarrow and the Lifetime yard cart.

Jacksons are 100 assembled at home depot, cant beat it. We have 5 and replace one or two a year. If you own one long enough to have it rust out Congratulations, youve got your moneys worth.

Dual wheels are goofy to use and plastic just doesnt hold up and cant be repaired. These things take such a beating it doesnt pay to spend mega bucks.

 

Dual wheels are nice for mulch when you're solo.

Mine will hold about a half of yard of mulch

I have several of the all metal ones from TSC and I really like them. I havent had any rust issues and some of them are 2 years old. I had one take flight off the trailer and it didnt even bend it. Worth the money IMO.

are you talking about the all silver color metal one with the bar underneath? That is the one i had my eye on but they store them out in the rain over at my store which makes me hesitate

I have a Brentwood that looks identical to yours. Have had it for 5 years or so with no problems. Like the wide front tire.

 

I despise dual wheel wheel barrows… with a passion, not even going into why, the rant would be several pages.

Don't get a plastic one (at least a one page rant)

I saw a guy rhino line his metal jackson wheel barrow.

If I didn't mix concrete frequently for footings, or curbs/repairs… I might do this.
Could you imagine the mess a wheel barrow would be rhino lined with concrete in there?

IMO by the time the wheel barrow rusts bad enough to worry about it…just replace it.

 

Good subject; I have a Jackson from Home Depot and it's a great piece of equipment. However, I came across an old one that was left at the home I have now. It's steel, one wheel, holds the same as the Jackson but the handles are wider. I've found that when doing mulch, trip after trip, I prefer the old one with the wide handles. I don't have to have it out in front of me so much. I find myself gravitating to the old one because it's easier for me. So, when I look for one to buy next time; a wide grip will be a feature I look for.

 

The dual that i have now (we call it the Tandula) is a beast but yes they have their limitations. I like dual wheel for cleaning up edge clippings. Nice because they don't tip. Other than that i frickin hate the thing.

Yes my are sitting outside right now hanging up on fence posts. I have not had any issues, plus I know its rated at 75mph. lol

 

Shovels and wheel barrows should be cleaned and then oiled properly and put in a shed or tarped to prevent rust. Spray them down with water, dry them then oil them. Or you can buy another one or parts that rust out on you. Doesn't take long to do proper maintenance on equipment. Canola is fine to use. All you need is a rag to wipe it down with. Hope this helps some with the maintenance side of this.

 

Im just curious why dont many of you like the dual wheel models? I love mine I think its the best thing ever... honestly i hate a single wheel. But however I alway notice alot of the big companies around me use only single wheels and ive always wondered why. By the way I have the dual wheel jackson from homedepot and have beat the he** out of it for at least five years now.. it is starting to crack but its flew of the trailer and from the bed of my truck a time or two and hauled anything from rocks dirt to mulch whatever i could fit in it.

 

I have the all metal one from Tractor Supply. I like the bars in front for tipping. I use it for everything from dirt, mulch, firewood, mixing concrete. Wider handles would be nice though. It's metal so if it rusts through, I will weld a patch on it.

 

Dual sucks to mulch with. Too wide to get into tight spots

 

I'm a Jackson dual wheel owner. I love it. I haven't found a spot I couldn't get into with it. This is my 3rd year with it. It just now started to crack a little, but not enough for anything to really escape out the bottom. It's a little overkill if you are only needing to move a bag or two of mulch though. I'm slated to buy another Jackson in the coming months and I will probably also find a good deal on a used single wheel. I prefer to buy extra shovels and wheel barrows and tools of that nature when I can find great deals on used stuff at garage sales or places like that when I happen to run across them.

 

I have a feeling there is a vast gap in types of usage here. Solo guys who have one barrow for 5 years and oil it and tuck it in and guys with employees who push barrows for hours a day every day

 

I am solo and go through one a year I use it for mulch clean ups some times and lots of firewood stacking ( that is whet beats it the most ) the logs breaks the plastic


I hate double wheels with passion !!!!!!!!!!!

single thick wheel true temper works fine I will be buying one this month.

 

I have had 2 dual wheel brentwood 8 CF poly models that have lasted through 5 years of employee abuse, and one A.M Leonard single wheel 6 CF poly that is going on its fourth year.

These are used for mulching, edging, mixing concrete, and have moved hundreds of tons of stone.

The employees love the dual wheels, plus there are almost no spills from un even or over loading. The single wheel is almost only ever used for really tight mulch jobs, and I am the only one who really ends up using it because they don't want it lol.

I'm not sure why anyone would want a metal hopper on a wheelbarrow? Why lift and push that little bit of extra weight?

 

I said the same thing until i checked out the metal tractor supply wheelbarrow. super light and seems sturdy

Is there a difference between the Brentwood vs am leonard 6cu they seem about the same but different colors?

We have several true temper with metal handles and last year I bought four of the silver metal tsc wheel barrows. I like the flat free tires on the temper but overall, I prefer the tsc silver metal barrow. The tsc wheel barrow doesn't dig the nose into the ground as bad as the temper. I never tried a jackson... they look well built. Honestly, its hard to do better than the $79 tsc wheel barrow.

I have 6 of the 10 cubic feet ones from TS. I did reinforce the supports. Three are 5 years old. I load them up at times with dirt and push them in the trailer and drive with them. They can take driving around loaded. I love dually wheels and have never had any issues getting them where I want. They are so much more stable. Try driving loaded single wheels around in a trailer.
