Magnificent new off road transport

[British Red]

Double the normal number of wheels, excellent ground clearance, huge load capacity, extraordinary stability, all metal tray.

I give you - the Bull Barrow Mammoth Duo

I got sick to death of forking manure into my existing barrow and heaving a large lump in only to have the barrow fall over sideways. Same thing happens throwing logs in. So my darling wife purchased me this beast - the wide front axle and double wheel should prevent that and the extra height save my poor old back

Photographed next to my existing extra large builder barrow gives an idea of height and size

and best of all - made in England

Is it a sign of getting old when a better barrow is cool?


So - barrow rides anyone

That's a bath on wheels!

DO NOT LIFT BEYOND YOUR CAPACITY

 

[British Red]

Its a beast huh? But sometimes extra volume is great...moving wood chip mulch for example - no weight to the stuff and its annoying to have to make lots of trips. Brash is the same.

Its that wide axle double wheel that sold me on it though. Cuts down on manoeuvrability - but there are few tight spots here - it should really add to the stability I hope

I would have given my last rolo for one like that on some digs
Bit of a blighter to tip up a ramp right enough, but for round the plot, that's a beauty
Your wife must really love you

Never thought it was possible to experience barrow envy, but I am! It's lovely that, do the job well too!

Great tool! ....One of the best things I ever got was the two-wheeled barrow, and the difference is amazing.....but that looks a big step up again from mine, I'll have to look into one of those.

I made up a little bar to clip across the handles to enable shuffling the barrow around with one hand, whatever you do with the ordinary barrow involves two hands and it's a great thing to be able to move it into different poswitions without having to put tools etc. out of your hand, move the barrow, and then go back for the tools; some of the stuff I move in barrows you wouldn't want to put your kit down in!

Thats the bently or barras that.

 

[ozzy1977]

I want one

How great that other people can appreciate a well engineered barrow

 

[Mesquite]

Ohhh... shiny (not for long)

I would have appreciated that when I was a groundsman

A barrow is not just a barrow!!!
That is a cool barrow

I only purchased one last week for site work from screwfix,,it was green,english made and looked ok.............i normally buy haemmerlin but they were out of stock
First fill with gobbo and it was allover the place,the handles and frame were flexing and felt unstable.........absolutely rubbish.
I returned it and ordered an haemmerlin,french made for the same price and perfect!
on this occasion the french outclassed the english

So few people get that now....which makes me wonder if they have even spent half a day shifting anything heavy with a barrow?

Its the same as a real quality spade......so worth it!

 

[Shambling Shaman]

That's a top bit of kit, new photos when you "pimp" it up

 

[spandit]

I think my barrow is the same as your old one - got me thinking now as tipping is an issue....

 

[sandbender]

Oh I like that, barrow envy indeed.

Absolutely right,my spade was given to me 30 years ago by an elderly neighbour,still going strong,,my bulldog shovel is 20 years old i use at work and fantastic to use.Im very protective with both

 

[Toddy]

Himself broke the haft on my wee spade last week It was only thirty something years old too. My Dad bought it for me. I'm going into Bill's Tool Store to see if they have a new haft that will fit. The spade's fine just the wood rotted through at the rivet. The matching fork's still in good nick though, but it's never had just quite as much work.
British made, Sheffield.

[British Red]

But you get to have fun clouting the new rivet with a gurt great ball pein hammer

 

[Reynard]

I've usually used plastic Fort barrows in the past meself, but, ooh that looks sexy

Might just have to place an order...

 

[robbo26]

I never knew these existed.
I'm a Bricky and I really need to get myself some of these beasts. I've spilt a lot of mortar in the past because the barrow toppled over due to uneven ground.
