Truly the Rolls Royce of yard brushes. I covet mine.

I worked on a yard for a few months and the owner "suggested" I bought my own as she was sick of her liveries borrowing them. My bristles are rather worn now, I am ready for a new head on mine. You can't beat a good yard brush ?

I have a similar one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0123BU...abc_BR12P86P1BDC884MZTCG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. It’s amazing.

I don’t know how anyone manages with small builders wheelbarrows. I find it such a waste of time and energy to keep traipsing to the ding heap. Im slightly embarrassed that I have 3 wheelbarrows, or near enough. One is a tipping trailer that either goes on my ride on mower, or is push along https://www.lawnmowers-uk.co.uk/Law...piry=1631226869&source=webgains&siteid=216402 It holds as least 4 normal barrows. I also have a giant 2 wheeled one which i don’t use much as it’s heavy to tip
when full and my normal one which is one of these https://www.naylors.com/carrimore-s...=15&utm_source=linkshare&utm_medium=affiliate
 
I have a green wb that holds 120l and is perfect as any bigger and I'd struggle to push it up the hill. It cost about £50 12 years ago and I hope its a long time before it needs replacing.

I've also a 90l purple wb which is fine but irritates me as it needs emptying more often plus the handles are lower and just not as comfortable as old faithful.

Dad and I have a wheelbarrow each, 3 ponies & 2 horses to pick up after. Mum buys us yard equipment for special occasions ? but we appreciate it and its practical and gets well used

My sister gave me an extra wheelbarrow for my birthday one year. I wanted another that I could keep clean to take hay and rugs up to the field. It’s been a godsend.
 
Would also add that the plastic ones I‘ve seen around the yard have broken, usually with chunks out of them. My metal one, bought in Germany some years ago now, is still going strong (bar the odd puncture).

If you keep an eye on lidl specials, I got an excellent large wheel barrow (single wheel as I hate double wheels) with deep sides for £35! It’s so good that everyone on the yards I’ve been on wants to borrow it

That’s a good price, thanks for the heads up.
 
One of the worst wheelbarrows I could “recommend” would be a foldable one. My parents very kindly gifted one to me, years ago, to help me carry stuff out to the field when mine were out 24/7 on an enormous yard and I had about a ten minute walk to the field. I very nearly threw it onto the neighbouring golf course after a couple of minutes, it folded up on every bump. ?

hahaha you see frustrated people attempting to push those things round at stay away shows sometimes.
I have a fold out 4 wheel trolley for lugging stuff around which is great, e.g. chuck your tack in if the stables are miles away. but I normally take a standard wheelbarrow along too.
