Wheelbarrow punctures

[Suby2]

I have an old wheelbarrow that I use to take hay or an H2Go across the field and it is constantly getting punctures. Not sure why as it is mainly being pushed through mud.

Has anyone found a way to keep the tyre from being flat other than the usual puncture repair?

OH bought some slime to put in, and that was better than without. The best no puncture cure though is to buy some solid wheels, but thay are not so easy to push (but lots easier than a flat tyre).

I got a can of this, no more problems since but I dont know if it would work a second time or whether it makes the wheel less likely to have problems again but certainly its done the job for over a year http://www.halfords.com/motoring/breakdown-emergency/breakdown-kits/holts-tyreweld-500ml

Search for puncture proof tyres - I bought one and has been fine. I think they are foam filled instead of air filled

Go into your local Ag store and get a solid plastic wheel, no more punctures.

Ours are filled with slime as well.

Thanks all

Some farmers get hay turner wheels filled with foam as they ALWAYS puncture at hay making! Haven't a clue how it is done but assume a rural tyre place would know. If my tyres get a puncture, I put in a new inner tube. Expensive in the short term but cheaper in the long term (I think).

I got a solid tyre/wheel from Screwfix - cheapest ever and still going strong.

We bought our solid tyre at B&Q, bright green now on a bright orange B&Q wheelbarrow, stands out a mile!
