20 Best Wheelbarrow For Seniors (2022 Updated)

I love this wheelbarrow! It is perfect for the ranch. I use it to carry large loads of everything. Best of all, I don’t have to balance it like a traditional wheelbarrow. I needed/wanted something big and this exceeded my expectations.

Highly recommended. Only negative thing are the tubed tires. They will probably not last long, but I plan on upgrading them to nicer heavy duty tires.

Pretty good wheelbarrow, but it should have solid tires. Under normal use, everyday on a small farm, the tires disintegrated after only 12 months. I could see lots of cracks in the rubber all over the tires.

The tire beads were cracked badly as well. One front tire developed a week spot which exploded after I aired it to 30lbs. I bought solid, non-pneumatic tires to replace the two fronts. Will need to buy solid wheels for the rear before long.

Other than cheap tires, it’s a pretty good wheelbarrow. Be ready to spend another Ben on better wheels.

4 wheeled, wheelbarrow!! 10 cubic ft. ( SAY NO MORE). I’ve moved boxes and stuff into my new house using this wheel barrow. It’s down hill from my parking, to my house. Load it up and not have to pick it up, just push.

None of the box stores had a barrow this size. I also used it for it’s intended purpose, yard work.

I recently purchased the Worx wheelbarrow and I absolutely love it. I had to move a few large boulders that would have surely given me a hernia trying to pick up alone. I attached the boulder attachment and rolled the first boulder onto the webbing.

I pulled back on the handles and with a bit of maneuvering I had the boulder moved in no time. I then loaded several larger rocks and broken boulder pieces. As soon as I lifted the handles to wheel forward, I immediately noticed how the weight was easily balanced even with a fairly heavy load.

I will add, the overall volume seems smaller than other wheelbarrows I’ve used in the past. However, given the weight distribution, I feel I could do twice as many loads in a shorter amount of time compared to one large load with a conventional wheelbarrow.

I’m also going to be moving a bunch of sod and landscaping bark in the next couple weeks. For the first time I feel excited to work on my yard projects simply because of this new tool! Can’t wait to continue to be impressed with how useful this thing is!!.

To all those that wrote honest reviews in regards to how this thing actually performs thank you. I wish I had not read through all the positive reviews and believed all the hype around this thing and the video marketing filmed on level flat concert.

This is not a wheelbarrow and does not perform at all like a wheelbarrow. This is a very poor design of an over engineered solution to a simple problem. If you are actually interested in a wheelbarrow for yard work buy a wheelbarrow and not this.

You will not regret a real wheel barrow. If you’re interested in a light weight capacity dolly then this can work for you, however it only can manage 300 pounds and takes up more space than standard dolly.

A real dolly can support over 800 pounds so this is again a terrible solution to a simple problem. Buy yourself a dolly. After putting this thing together I threw about 200 pounds of gravel in it and tried to wheelbarrow from the back of my property to the front which is 100 ft.

Because of where the wheels are placed, yes it makes it easier to lift initially, but actually pushing it is a whole other story. The yard is relatively flat with just some small ruts in it. A traditional flat free tire wheelbarrow will just glide right over this.

This thing hit every single one of them as if it was a cement curb. The only way to really drag this thing from the back of the property to front was to walk it backwards. Yes the two wheels make it sturdy but because every rut once to stop this thing you spend way more energy trying to steer and pull then you would just facing forward and walking normal with a single wheel wheelbarrow.

It’s because the wheels are way too far back in wheelbarrow mode so when you hit a small rut there’s so much weight in front of the wheels that the unit wants to stop dead in its tracks and rock forward.

They market this as a design improvement but it’s not. It is extremely frustrating and no one in their right mind would want to do this more than one time before never doing it again. I decided to use the extension arms and throw six bags of mulch on it.

They showed this over and over again in the advertisements and make it appear extremely easy to manage. Again really disappointed. I felt like it was going to break at any moment and it was not easy to push.

It was a small workout. I had to flip the dolly lip down for peace of mind. It was much easier to wheel around the yard in the dolly mode however the arms did not feel like they were up to the job. It honestly felt like if I did this a few times I would break them.

Last and most annoying part. I put 2-3 cubic feet of soil in the tub and after walking the unit backwards to the front to unload I found that the dolly lip doesn’t lay flush to the tub. It hangs out 1/2 inch.

It catches a lot of dirt in it and so after you unload you have to clean the lip out. Also because the wheels are set so far back you have to pivot he cart up on the front rather than a wheelbarrow bumper.

It makes it heavier to lift and more awkward. Rather than dumping the soil from the air in the flower bed you have to ram the cart nose into the ground and then try to raise the cart and dump out its contents.

If they made a latch on the back of the unit they could have made it so the dolly lip locks flush to solve the dolly getting in the way. I don’t see an easy solution to dumping without relocating the wheels.

It’s a terrible design overall and too bad that it’s listed on so many top 10 wheelbarrow pages. I do not think this is a good solution for anyone. I really wanted this to work because it like the idea of space saving, easy transportation, and all in one unit.

In reality if you want a $200 leaf bag carrier or garden cart to pull wheel and plant little flowers than have fun. It’s way to over priced for that though. If you are going to do yard work don’t waste your time and money like I did.

Good thing target has a nice return policy because the took it back for me.

I bought the Aerocart for use in the spring, though it is too early to use it, I wanted to assemble it and see how it works. I am a 70 year old woman with fairly decent mechanical skills but I am not very strong.

I had no trouble following the directions and the parts fit very easily together. The quality of the cart is fantastic. It appears that everything will work as advertised. I mostly will use it to haul topsoil, mulch, loose and bagged, and yard waste.

It has an attachment ring to hold yard wast bags in place while being filled. The features seem to be very well thought out for maximum use of a cart. It is very adaptable to a lot of tasks. I also ordered the wagon cart and it is really awesome.

Just like advertised. Hope to get a lot of work out of this cart.

I actually like the product and it’s built appropriately for light duty tasks around the yard. The only thing that is keeping me from rating it a 4-5 is that the tire doesn’t stay inflated very long.

It looses air pressure which is a hassle each time I use it I have to take time to inflate the tire. I don’t see any leaks and I can’t find if it’s the tire or the wheel that’s the problem. Wish this wasn’t the case.

Besides going together easily I didn’t realize that it was almost completely metal. I live on an island connected to the mainland by a modern causeway so I get a lot of salt. Wood doesn’t last as long here.

The wheelbarrow is also well centered with a good tire. I tested it with a heavy load and it was much better to use that my other ones.

A nice strong and sturdy durable wheelbarrow. The 13″nobbie tire is a must,very sturdy to push and stable. some family and friends have used it and all who have asked where I purchased as some have wheelbarrows but said to me they are a struggle pushing (small thin tire&flimsy handles,a couple others said they needed and we’re purchasing.

I recommend this product to all who use theirs or need a quality wheelbarrow, the price outdid any and all wheelbarrows similar,I shopped all over,major stores,catalogs, online. This is my forever choice.

Hope I could help.

I owned this cart for about 3 years. It was mostly great; as one other reviewer noted, the back legs do get in your way if you try to push the cart. As a result, I would usually pull it behind me, which I could easily do because it was so lightweight.

Since this is written in past tense, what happened to it? I accidentally left it outside and we got an incredibly heavy snowfall. I had to wait until the snow melted enough before I could dig it out.

In the meantime, there was a lot of melting and refreezing so by the time I did, the bottom of the cart had cracked very badly. So as long as you don’t do something stupid like that, it should last a long while.

Will I get another? I’m looking at other choices because of the problem with the back legs but if I don’t find anything better, than I probably will.

I’m 73 yrs old. I’ve used this for everything in the yard. Its very resilient. Has withstood a lot of hard work. I couldn’t work without it.

One of the boxes you can check writing a review is “List similar products you own. ” With this cart I didn’t need anything else. After over 11 years of use I was a bit upset when a wheel finally gave in and broke off.

My first thought was I hope they still make these. Over those 11 years I’ve hauled dirt, plants and hundreds of pavers and bags of sand for a patio. I’ve even mixed cement in it. I was very happy to see that they are still available.

I’ll be visiting Satellite Beach Ace Hardware later today.

Once again buy something already assembled and it falls apart on the first use. Both tires fell off because the pins were not In, both handles had come loose and had lost most of the bolts and washers probably because the we not tightened when put together.

Seems to be everything that’s built in store you should bring it home and do a one over just to be sure it’s not going to fall apart. Never buying from here again. Couldn’t even return it because the store wasn’t open Worst place to buy assembled units.

I love this heavy duty frame. AND, the bowl of the wheelbarrow is a heavy duty plastic, which makes it lighter to push around the yard. I absolutely adore the pink because no one else will use it! LOL! Sturdy construction and the spacing of the wheels are the standard for most wheelbarrows.

Good construction, easy assembly, and a great help to any Gardner. I highly recommend this product. I may purchase another one for a raffle at our local Moose Lodge for Breast Cancer Charities.

After my brother purchased a Gardeners poly-tough cart for our elderly mother, they both loved how sturdy and easy it was to wheel around the yard, and how much debris it could hold. Over the following months, my brother “hinted” several times how much he wanted one for himself.

Well, Merry Christmas 2021 to him (see photo), and he couldn’t be happier! Having “inherited” Mom’s wheelbarrow — and being somewhat physically challenged with a bad back and arthritis — I’m thrilled with how easy it is to scoot around the yard, even when loaded with leaves, tree cuttings, foliage, etc.

The 40-year-old gal who helps me with yard clean-up was disappointed I couldn’t find her usual tarp to load debris onto it so she could drag it to the dumpster. After I “encouraged” her to use the wheelbarrow, she smiled and stated, “I can’t believe how lightweight it was, and so easy to use.

I’ll never use a tarp again!” As an ultimate testimonial, my brother’s new wheelbarrow blew across the field during 70-mile-an hour spring Wyoming winds, and didn’t suffer any damage whatsoever. So as you can see, the Gardener wheelbarrows are our constant companions.

And I don’t doubt there will be more of these handy helpers in our future!.

I use this cart for mucking out stalls, and it’s perfect. The high wheels make it easy to maneuver in and out of stalls, and it’s easy to dump. No, it doesn’t dump 100% of the load, but it works well enough.

I purchased mine in 2013 and the frame has finally rusted through and broke in two spots. The tires over the years have become wobbly and warped. The tub portion is still perfect; not a crack or chip in it.

I was hoping to purchase a new one, but they’re almost doubled in price! I really wish there were replacement parts, because the aluminum handles and feet are fine, the tub is fine, and I’ve replaced the tires with no-flat wheels.

I absolutely love my poly-tough cart I bought in 2005. I used it to load rolls of strips of sod and move them to another site. Have used it for everything imaginable. It runs over rough, rutted ground, stays steady under heavy loads, can be pulled without scraping my heels on some kind of “support”, since the two support legs are spaced apart.

The wheels on my cart are solid rubber. No need to fool with inner tubes or re-inflating the wheels. This cart has been outside in MT winters since 2005 and is still terrific. Had to replace a couple of bolts that eventually rusted.

So, I was thinking about buying another cart and contacted Gardener’s Supply to see what other peoples’ remarks were about more recent purchases. Found out the wheels are no longer solid rubber but have to be inflated and there were a lot of complaints about slashed inner tubes, punctures, problems with having to try to replace a wheel or inner tube.

Until the solid rubber wheel comes back, I’ll look for a different cart and keep on using my old, reliable cart. Would have enthusiastically recommended this cart to anyone before they changed the wheels!.

I have a few of these around the farm. They are great wheel carts except for one fatal flaw, the wheels are total junk. They dont have an actual bearing, the metal axle just goes through the composite wheel.

Over time, the axle wears away at the composite hub, causing more and more wobble, until the hub just starts to crack and disintegrate. This has happened to every single one I have. The OEM wheels cost more than the cart, if you can even get them.

Fortunately there are plenty of aftermarket wheels with actual bearings that you can find online for just the replacement. Sadly I feel this flaw is intentional by the manufacturer. Otherwise, these carts would be amazing.

We love this cart! Makes life with horses easier! We have Belgian horses and LOTS of manure. We were using single wheeled wheelbarrows before we bought the Gorilla cart. Omgosh, the wheelbarrows were so hard to push.

The horses would knock them over all the time, and we struggled to clean the paddocks, it took FOREVER. The Gorilla cart is super easy to roll, super easy to dump, and makes like so much easier. We are done cleaning in half the time.

We will DEFINITELY be buying more of these for the ranch.

We use these wheelbarrows exclusively on our horse farm. The capacity is ideal for fewer trips to the sawdust pile and to the manure pile during stall maintenance. They come in handy during blanket season, at times I have had 25 piled in there (using bungee cords to hold them on).

We have also used them during horse shows as part of the game portion of the show. These wheel barrows are sometimes used by children as young as five and their design makes it easy for the littles to pitch in.

Completely worth the price!.

Dubious quality control out of the factory: a hole in one of the handles was only half drilled, requiring me to finish it off; one of the wheels wobbled badly on its axis, and the replacement they sent fared only somewhat better (I ordered the model with least-expensive, ribbed tires).

The whole contraption still wobbles, even on a perfectly flat surface. Note also that neither wheel hub was pre-greased (there is a zerk fitting, so I used my grease gun), the instructions are half baked (not a real problem for me), and they include only carriage bolts (to be used even where the bolt meets steel with a smaller round hole that really isn’t meant for a square neck) instead of a mix of carriage and hex bolts.

I rectified with a trip to the hardware store. Having said all this, it’s a heavy-duty wheelbarrow with a capacious tray that should hopefully survive rough handling, so long as the 1/4″ HDPE bucket doesn’t crack.

In normal terrain, I can live with the wobble, but may replace the wheels with something better sometime in the future when they wear out. For the price, however, I was expecting better quality control.

Made in America. let’s start acting like it.

I want to give this 5 stars, but it comes up short. 1) the wide turf tire is marketed as a 4 ply tire. The 2 ply tire is crazy beefy and impressive, but it is clearly stamped 2 ply on the tire. It is also made in China.

Time will tell how the tire holds up but the turf tire is really impressive! I just don’t understand why every retailer shows that the turf tire is 4 ply? That was one reason I bought this, wanted an overly built wheelbarrow.

Now the frame is ridiculously thick. Seems like cast iron. Not sure any other barrow can come close. However, because of this, it takes strength to muscle the parts around to get all the bolts to fit.

Takes numerous disassembly and reassembly attempts. The tray is really thick except for the bottom. Yes, that is correct. The bottom of the tub seems very thin. I was so concerned that I actually installed 1/2 inch plywood under the tub to prevent anything from breaking through the bottom.

But sides front and back are very thick, and the lip is really really thick. The question is this just a flaw in my barrow bottom, or are all the bottoms thin? I felt disappointed spending 200 and having to put plywood under the bottom.

Also, I am currently using my old 5/8 axle from my old barrow which is just a little too short but will work for the time being, because I had no axle in the parts box. My local store contacted their sales rep and advises they are sending me an axle, but I could not reach them on the phone at 3pm on a Friday and left a message.

FYI, I bought zinc coated 3. 5″ bolts due to addition of the 1/2 plywood. The tire seems to be good, strong, just marketed wrong. I had to use my own axle, and had to install plywood. These things are quite unexpected, however, with the plywood modification I expect this will last 20 years, and it will haul every bit of 800lbs.

Plan to store it in the garage. Very very good wheelbarrow now that I have it together and modified, but can’t give 5 stars due to issues mentioned.

Super sturdy and heavy duty for any task. The tub is thick and will handle anything you put in it. Dual wheels give balance and prevent tipping. My only issue/complaint would be the drill holes in handles.

This could have been done more accurately by using a jig or template during manufacture. When assembling do not tighten any bolts/ fasteners until most pieces are fitted. Take your time during the process and you will be delighted with your efforts.

This company will answer your phone call. Totally pleased with Scenic Road. Don’t hesitate to purchase their product.
