Let me know if you want any pictures of it. Hardly used it.

 

If you don't mind would be appreciated but if the weather's as sh1t as it is here don't go rushing out in the rain to do them.

Relatively flat and not very muddy but certainly worth thinking about as a muddy hill laden with lengths wouldn't be fun .... well not for me but maybe anybody that was watching it might 😁

Covered in snow here atm so a sled would work well 🙂

Looking for some sort of hand pulled cart or other way of moving lengths of wood about 140 cm or 4.5 ft  in old money and ideally would like to be able to load about 5 lengths at a time of widths from approx 8" up to 12/14"  .... doesn't matter if it's shorther and will only take about 3 ft lengths

 

Was looking at a something like a large garden cart (link below) but they're not very wide and would imagine regularly using it for heavy wood .... a lot of the reviews say continual hard use they don't last

Great prices on your favourite Gardening brands, and free delivery on eligible orders.

 

What I like about them is the sides go down so I can put it in the car on top of the cut lengths (Zafira) .... although could stick whatever it is on the roof rack of the car

 

Awful tempted to pay a visit to Homebase and see if one of their garden trolleys "accidentally" jumps in my boot 🤣 ... shame I'm too honest.

 

If anyone's got any ideas be grateful hearing them😊 

 

I had a similar requirement an I've steered away from stuff like these. They aren't very robust despite what the advert says.

 

I was looking for something to move lengths of milled board around. 

Arb trolley was high on the list. As is a carpet dolly ( rolls of carpet)

 

Saying all this...I haven't done either as supplies of milling material have dried up.

 

Big diameter wheels solid or pneuumatic...is the way.

Good luck with your quest.

Hate solid wheels used them on a wheel barrow  they are  horrible too use.

 

Don't mind 10mins  patching innertubes if I get a puncture ocassionally

 

Linked this before but I reckon chinese had a good concept with the wheel barrow.

For being such a seemingly ordinary vehicle, the wheelbarrow has a surprisingly exciting history. This is especially true in...

 

Imagine a lightweight  modern alumium framed version with a bike wheel and maybe optional hub driven lecky motor

 

 

Opuim pipe optional extra....

 

EDIT

 

Looks like someones already done it:

A carpet trolley might work.

Would take up lux on his offer. I have a stein trolley. Put off getting one for a long time due to cost. Went through loads of sack trolleys in the meantime. And the stein does way more options (bit like the Chinese offering). It's heavy but weirdly once its loaded you don't notice it. From your initial description it's exactly what you need. Watch regs video on how to use it and the you see the options.

Agree .... I have dropped him a PM

Suppose the centre of gravity is the same just over two axles /wheels so less maneuverability but more stable
