Quality and strength of the frame and handles. Solid rubber tire.THE
With the no flat tire and metal handles, this is far better than the average wheelbarrow you can buy. Should have no problems for many years.
My first wheelbarrow was a cheapo 3 or 4 cu. ft. bought from a hardware store. My local contractor/building supplier was walking through my yard and noticed I was digging out my foundation of clay and hauling it back to a field for dumping. He went to his business (couple hundred yards away) and returned with his commercial wheelbarrow. After I returned it after my project was done, I purchased a more heavy duty wheelbarrow with wood handles and a pneumatic tire. Two years later, one of the handles broke and I screwed metal braces to it and it has been in service for thirty-five years. The last ten years it has been constantly in need of tire air (flat). Looked online for a replacement and finally found The Marathon at Walmart. This wheelbarrow had metal handles and a flat-free tire and is built like a tank. Today, I hauled seven very full loads of apples for dumping 75 yards away. Very happy with my purchase. I am 66 and not a big guy and I didn't feel that it was too heavy as a previous reviewer stated.
very strong. Should last a long time. Really like the no flat tire. The only problem is putting the thing together. A degree in mechanical engineering is a plus. Make sure you have a 14mm socket/wrench and a grease gun. The previous guy said it was too heavy, not really. If it wasnt, it wouldnt last. It is almost all steel. Once it is put together you will like it.
This wheelbarrow was everything I expected. The tray is 1.4 mm thick, which is outstanding. Remember that the wheel alone is worth $50-$60.
I got this wheelbarrow for simple gardening tasks such as hauling leaves/pinestraw, etc., but it is way too heavy for me as I am 68 yrs. old. It was difficult to put together by myself so I had to call my son to come over and help. I think it is made well and having a tire that won't go flat is a plus. Only wish it wasn't quite so heavy.
Was difficult for me to assemble. Buy one already assembled and it seems to be good quality.
The bracket holes did not line up at all, They were about an inch to far out, so I drilled new holes and installed them and it seems very sturdy.
I am sure someone can assemble one of these in minutes, but it is not me. Complete assembly is required without instructions. It was not easy for me. I strongly suggest anyone looking for a wheelbarrow to buy one already assembled. Quality is not all that great either.
