This is a very large barrow, stood next to a standard builders barrow it looks to be 3 1/2 times the size. Building was very easy with 2 people and would be a struggle with one. Conversion from trailor to push is very quick and easy but is very front biased and loads have to be position carefully. We have found the handles are a bit short if you are trying to pull the barrow you can easily catch your legs on the draw bar (folded away position). It remains very stable even with very heavy loads over rough terrain. Overall very pleased with the purchase and would recommend.

An excellent product - almost perfect. I chose this HD trailer over others on the internet based on its high load capacity and wide-section wheels/tyres. Delivery was in under 24 hours, all components present with good photo-laden instructions. I was very impressed with the high specification and substantial build of the trailer, heavy gauge metal well painted, a 3/4" axle, double ball-race wheels, and a draw bar and industrial caster that looked (and weighed) as if they came from a JCB. Assembly is a pleasant few hours work, although it's better to have two people to feed the bolts from one side and attach the nuts the other. Fitting the handle in its second (deeper) position gave a more solid grip to the trailer, at the risk of catching your shins on the draw bar when pushing. The almost perfect part came from fitting the wheels. There was just not enough clearance to drive in the split pins in the axle without a struggle. In the end I left out one of the 20 mm washers on each side. I shall look for some slightly thinner washers, which would fix the problem. The trailer is easier to push than our wheelbarrow, although if the trailer is to be used more as a barrow perhaps the std duty lighter version would be better. I use it mostly as a trailer - it is surprising how many jobs you can find for it, it's used most days. How did I manage without it? The R clips holding the hitch pins are not very springy and care has to be taken not to lose them. Apart from that this is an excellent buy from The Green Reaper, a HD trailer at a SD price, probably the best available.
