I like these but my husband said it doesn't have a "proper wheel" it's too plasticky so thought it wouldn't last.
Do you have the 110L or the 90L?
Fab thanks I will have a look into these then!it is a proper wheel.
I put these puncture proof wheels on one of my wheel barrows and they are very strong and do last. Their only downside is that the barrow is not as nice to push over uneven ground as the ones with ordinary tyres. If/when I have to buy a new wheel barrow I shall specify puncture proof tyres even though they are more expensive.
We have a lot of equipment eg trolleys etc that we have changed the original wheels to puncture proof ones
Mine has lasted at least 5 years, probably a lot longer. I know it was when my friend's horse was still alive as she bought one on my advice after I bought one. He's been dead 5 years. I had the normal wheel at first and switched it to the puncture proof one after, funnily enough, a puncture.
These 2 wheeled ones are the devil!!I envied a field neighbour who had one of those expensive big wheelbarrows with two wheels - until she went away, and I looked after her horses for a couple of weeks.
Her field was on quite a slope - the wheely took off with me, dragging me down to the bottom of the hill, and then tried to catapult me into a bed of nettles, using it's evil handles.
So - I would recommend Haemerlin normal wheeled ones, too.
I absolutely haye the solid wheels, you cannot get them through muddy gateways and in the summer, the slightest rut makes the poo jump back out of the barrow. Have 2 ordinary wheels, then you can just replace it straight away and carry on using it while the garage repairs the punctured one. I like Fort barrows ( just to be different!)
They have 2 types of solid wheel - one which is thin and plastic and bounces everywhere because it’s too solid so there’s no give for bumpy ground. Or a heavy duty solid rubber one that is much better.
Haven't laughed so much in ages ? ? ? thanks for that!I envied a field neighbour who had one of those expensive big wheelbarrows with two wheels - until she went away, and I looked after her horses for a couple of weeks.

clearly a lack of training of that barrow by your neighbour. Alternatively it was just trying it on with you.
both of my lads are 2 wheeled barrows, we were very strict with early training and they behave perfectly.
I find them really good
I bought myself a 160l, 2 wheeled one after test driving many of the ones the liveries have here on the yard. I found the 200l just too heavy when full to the brim. When poo picking the field, I borrow my friends one wheeled Hammerlin because it's much easier to get that to the field than my two wheeled heavy barrow.
