SCENIC ROAD Parts Box M6-1K Wheelbarrow

Most of my hauling is across lawn so I purchased the wheelbarrow with the 6"" turf tire to avoid cutting trenches in the lawn. It has met my expectation. This not only saves the lawn, but requires a lot less force to push it across the lawn. I also wanted a lighter unit that my old wheelbarrow which weighed 55lb. As I recall the new one weighs 45ib.

Primarily I use my wheelbarrow to move firewood...from the back of the property to the house. When I have more wood delivered in the spring it will be used to move the wood to my storage racks in the back of the property. I will use it in the garden, to move mulch and anywhere else I can. I've been looking for something made better than what they sell at the big box store and lucked out when a tree crew working across the street had two of them. I snapped a pic and was happy to find they are made in my home state and could be purchased through Hayneedle...very solid wheelbarrow.

We purchased this since our other ones from tue big box stores dont last more than 1 season. This wheelbarrow is Strong, we got the 6inch wheel! This will surley last much longer than those flimsey ones. Thanks!

I pour concrete everyday. Most wheelbarrows only last a couple months b4 something breaks. This wheelbarrow has lasted 4 years. Solid build and holds a lot of concrete. We call it the Cadillac.

design is well executed, the fasteners bearing housings and axle will likely develop rust over time but spray some rust preventative on them. Without mechanical experience assembly would be challenging. DO NOT MAKE TIGHT ANY FASTENERS UNTILL ALL ARE IN PLACE THEN USE THE CORRECT ORDER TO MAKE TIGHT

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.
