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.

I think there is, but its hard to tell besides the price point. IMO, the A.M Leonard is just as high quality as the Brentwood

Because of this thread, I picked up one of the silver, hammertone-finished wheelbarrows from TSC. For $70, it looks to be a decent piece. The metal handles with grips are an interesting idea. But, the selling point was the tipping cradle, on the front. That should provide more tub support, better tipping stability, and less turf damage. This year, I've done ~30yds of mulch and ~13T of gravel, so this wheelbarrow won't see a huge amount of use.

Just counting off my head, we have well over 18 of the blue Jackson wheel barrows. A dozen or so on the trucks and atleast another 1/2 dozen that are just sitting in the corner of the shop for when we have installs when we need barrows going back and forth all day. I think we also have two or three of the steel two wheel jackson barrows. I remember we bought them for a specific reason, but I don't remember what it was. Those are in the corner of the shop and probably haven't seen the light of day in two years. We stay away from the plastic tubs. You'll know why if you have ever thrown bricks/blocks/stones into a plastic tub on a bitter cold day. Also I find there isn't much of a noticable weight savings with plastic. And our's don't get wheeled onto the trailer, they are transported ontop of the dumps. I don't get why someone would bother oiling/greasing them on a regular basis. If you have the time to do that, then you obviously have the time to simply get them out of the elements. We keep ours ontop of the trucks monday-thursay (we usually work a 4 day week), often they are on the trucks mon-sat if we are behind schedule and the guys are working OT. When the crews are not working then the barrows are unloaded along with the other hand tools and put into the shop. My guys abuse them, and they still last a good 3 yrs on average. We might have to replace a couple tires a year. At $200 a piece it isn't worth it to have someone spend 15min a week loading and unloading them, nevermind oiling them.

I wish I had grabbed one they were $59 a few weeks ago on sale. I really want this wheelbarrow it has a great feel to it

For mulch jobs, we love to use the true temper plastic wheelbarrows with the total control handles. They are light and agile and dump quickly with the handles. We have a couple Jackson metal ones for rock/stone jobs.

Commercial Jackson metal handlebars no blow tires. Best overall.

I have an old 2-wheel 10 cu/yd true temper that keeps rolling along. But the best ones I have are "Landscapers Joy" 10 cu/yd 2 wheelers. Very heavy duty. But expensive.
