Timber, I haven't bought one yet, but I'm looking at those also. The big 1,000 capacity one looks awesome for hauling soil and amendments.

I have an Earthtools power wheelbarrow. It does works well and is a good design. I use it with my 737 and find it is the ticket for an old guy like me for moving stuff up and down hilly terrain.

Will this power-barrow go down the same bank as well as it goes up?Quote:

Helps to have a place to stop(flat), and you do need to go straight up and down, no cross slope. the gears keep it slow, and sometimes I back down the hill. Also note I added a brake to the 725:thumbsup: The tub is also locked down, won't dump until I want to.
Very cool. How hard was it to add the brake?Quote:

Hi Jobob,
I assume you know this, but thought it should be said anyway -
Keep in mind that adding a brake to a solid axle machine is not the same as having a machine with locking differential and steering brakes. Both wheels will still turn at the same time all the time. It is a parking brake and a slow-down brake, not a steering brake.
Very true, that brake is just a whoa brake- not turning brakes. It only works for stopping and as a parking brake. One of these days maybe I will be able to afford a BCS with a diff.
Of course not. The model numbers don't speak to me in terms of axle/differential types.Quote:
