I'd be interested to know as well. It certainly looks good.

I'd be interested to see it with 250kg of soil in it and someone pulling it along with the handle.

A friend had one and it didn't last very long. Not made for heavy work don't think.
Everyone makes mistakes as the Dalek said climbing off the dustbin.

Hi, funny thing is we have been looking at something like that, I was going to put it on my christmas present list! The one we want is more a cage on wheels that does not tilt...I want it for all sorts of things as well......I would love to go to a shop to check them out but no idea who stocks them only seen them on the internet.......

ideally id like one to hitch up to a car (i dont have a quad) but they seem to be three times the price. i think il get one as the price is good. im sure the kids will love it  :roflanim:

I would love to actualy see what you get and if they are strong, I want one for all sorts of stuff, better for me than a wheel barrow as I can  pull it behind me...you never know, I could get the dogs pulling it too :innocent:

I got one for Christmas. I use it all the time for transporting 25litre containers of water to the pigs and I pull it across the field. It has made a huge difference to me but I don't know how long it will last.

TheGIrlsMum, which type did you get, we are on the verge of getting one, it would be so  handy for tons of stuff, mainly log shifting! I did think about adapting a push chair but I thought twice!

does it feel flimsy? i do have a bug-bear with things that dont last. we need to shift water containers too and usually use a wheelbarrow with no problems except its heavy. i thought 4 wheels would be better.

We have a four wheeled one with a green cage.  It is brilliant although it got left out and is now going rusty.  I use it to take the recycling boxes and bags up the lane (pay council tax for the privilege) to the collection point.  Really useful :thumbsup:

I have wanted one for ages, funny that some one else, shygirl, asked about them and we are on the verg of buying one, after we have paid our gas and electric bill of course :innocent:

£100 including VAT = £80.... Less the sellers profit say 20% = £60... I can't see that lasting very long at all i'm afraid
