Now this is a real man barra(non girly)check out the tyre,a heavy duty cross ply,pumped up to 15 kpc,note the manly red colour,not pink but red alright.Lastly the handles,positioned high to assist with ease with mobility while tranporting massive loads that this real mans barra is more than capable of handling

Thats not as mans barrow its a girly barrow high handles again.
Looking at that pic you will lose you load before you pick it up..
Perhaps you would like to borrow my one..
Its a All Persons Wheelbarrow thick bouncy tyres, poly bowl so easy to push up hill.
Handles below the bowl where they are supposed to be.
Way to go::::
Hey Richard your arms must stick out like wings when you use any of yours.

It all depends on how tall you are, your body shape and what your main use for a barrow is, they come in all shapes to suit different jobs. Ideally, you should try a barrow out before you buy one to get one that suits.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

Well Richard if I can fit my small hands around that carved bit and Tony can too having very large hands doesnt it tell you something its made for everybody its a proper builders barrow so light and easy to push as I said above. I will measure the handle when I come back from shopping.
Why do you think they make those stupid small high handle barrows, so females will buy them thinking this is nice and small, find that they cannot work with, then go and buy another one. They see them on those TV shows and say I must get one of them, you know who uses them, yes for a couple of seconds for a tv show that Graham uses girly barrows.
Now instead of looking for the bigger ones that are designed for easy lifting and pushing they wont go near them probably dont like the price tag, but then you get what you pay for.. We bought this barrow when we came down to Brisbane in 1999 it still works so well after being the work horse when we built the house Tony used to load all his electrical tools, power cords on to it of a morning and wheel it up the ramp, he has moved thousands of bricks and pavers so much soil mixed concrete in it, its really had a lot of work still got the original tyre and tube, never had a puncture the only thing that has changed is the red paint has faded
Next time you are in a Hardware store try one out with the poly bowl you will be pleasently surprised at how light and well balanced they are, its what you would expect as its made for all shaped bodies.
I should be paid for this free ad..

I moved the lily pond yesterday Cheryl and after leveling the soil putting a small layer of sand down I put one row of bricks then one row of pavers to sit the huge bowl on.
Do you want to see it..
