Hey folks,
I haven't been in the states for a long time. What do you folks pay for a good, Timex quality (old Timex), beat it up and still use it wheelbarrow?

I've been paying 50 bucks for our HD equal construction ones ( 20 gallon capicity)and they last about a year of cleaning stalls and bumping around before either rusting out or beng deformed.

Local farm store has them for about 180 bucks with a 10 yr gaurantee (about 40 gallon capacity)

Just hate to get off the bucks.

Was thinking to have my brother send me one but don't know the cost so I can compare prices.

I have a poly, 2 wheeled model that takes a beating well. 10 years ago I think I paid nearly $100 for it. It will hold 8 cubic feet, so capacity is not a problem either! Greg
 
I have the dual wheel wheelbarrow that I bought at Sam's Club. I think its 6-1/2 cf and the tub is polyvinyl. Its nice for heavy loads. I think I paid around $50.00 for it in 2005. Hal
PS: I used it last Fall for carrying 33 loads of compost out to the garden.
 
Go with a Poly tub, they are rust free and seem to last. Cheap is still cheap, so compare. Bottoms should be 6 to 8mm thick (1/4-5/16") JimN
 
Just a month ago bought a new Steel Tubbed, dual wheel 6 cu.ft. Barrow at Ace Hdwe for $90.00 plus tax. Cleaned up and patched the bottom and repainted my old 6 cu.ft. Barrow from HD.so now I have two.The old one is Poly Tubbed and I have really used it a lot.As I am not quite strong as I used to be I find the 2 wheeled one is a big help in maintaining my balance when useing it. Had to relearn the driving part though.
 
Paid $99.00 for Jackson 6 cubic foot ones from Cheapo Depot, Tires always go flat thought. Gonna have to slime them!
 
Bought a new one at Home Despot last week- Hundred bucks, but it has the airless tire- got tired of fixing wheelbarrow tires! Wife has a plastic one, but its not heavy duty enough for mixing concrete.
 
Go down to your tire store (mind is Big O)and they have small trailer tires the same size. Was replacing them about every year. Now it has been on there for five years. You can put what ever air preesure in it for the job your doing.
 
Are you talking about a "redneck rolling tool box" here.

My uncle would use a wheel barrow to carry his tools from one project to the next to save having to make trips back to the garage for more of them.
