Want an awesome wheelbarrow to help you with your Fall chores? I have the one for you, plus it has the advantage of featuring a patented design that distributes more weight to the wheels and less to the user, helping to lighten the load when wheeling supplies around the garden. Also, the tub of the Wheelbarrow is made from 100 percent recycled material, which of course, means it is better for the planet.
My review for the wheelbarrow is that it is excellent - beyond wheeling Harry the Pug around the garden, I have also used it to lift heavier containers, bags of soil, and leaves. Sturdy and well-balanced, the cart seems to be easier on my back than traditional wheelbarrows.
My only concern is that when the wheelbarrow arrived, all the parts were covered in plastic wrap. Why? That seems like a waste of good resources and an added expense that could be eliminated to lower the cost of the product. Outside of that, I feel the product has been great in the garden. Plus Harry the Pug enjoys riding in the wheelbarrow – you can see him getting a ride at the end of the wheelbarrow assembly video (above).
Size-wise, the wheelbarrow’s tub has a capacity of six-and-a-half cubic feet and can hold up to 550 pounds. It is available at Lifetime.com and Sam’s Club stores.
As a reminder - if you use a wheelbarrow to do fall chores, collect your fall leaves for mulching, not for burning.

Diane, I was TOTALLY swearing and had to edit it out. LOL!
Harry loves the attention - he was very cute, right?

That was so funny! You're very brave to do that with a camera on you. How much swearing was edited out? :P
Harry rocks - I love how he sits there like "Yeah, that's right, I'm the king of the yard."
