I bought a powered wheelbarrow cart thing.

I think this will end up being a favorite yard implement especially since the house sits on a hill.

I can only guess how people function outside their homes when the outdoors is at an angle beyond slight. I would need terraces, DirtMechanic.

Paths with multiple switchbacks?

Thomas?

Thats my bro!

And the problem with terraces is they have to be filled, or walls built which have bases that need footings filled. All hauled uphill of course, between trees and such.

I live on a hill. It was the view of the century that made us want this place three years ago. Now, I avoid going down to the garden or the chickens, as my knee gets worse and worse.

no way to have a cart or elevator on a rail? i see them for inside going up and down stairs.

Watching and waiting for the report on how well it works. I want/need one.
Please post an update as to how well it works. Thanks

Gotta get it out of the den first.

The thing has 10 cubic feet trays but mine has the 6. Flat trays are available or put what you want on it.

The tranny has a drain plug and my John Deere lawn mower does not. They say it will not get hot enough to impact the lubricity but its nice to have.

The motor is finely made as well as the transmission and reduction gear. The 2 12v batteries have a 25 amp fuse and its series for 24 volts. The batteries say 9 amp hours each. Here is the removable tray. The box has a plastic lid where it might touch the terminals when dumped. The rest is steel secured by two springs on the right side of the battery box.

The newer design has a more accessible charging plug.

This is the newer style switch. Depress the lever and go.Battery indicator is lit up full charge. I think that triangular metal is to deflect impacts off the controls to prevent problems. Lol you know what that means! Wonder what happened?

Voila! It has suprisingly good balance but the tipping gets into the dead weight of a serious steel axle, motor, frame and two batteries. I bet tipping it is the most work I will put into a run.

At some point four or so years from now when those batteries go I might look into juicing it up. You can get li-on that will fit right now. The batteries are fairly inexpensive as it is, I looked them up.

Oh yeah. I have been moving bags uphill to store near my sheds. If I was smart I would have built my sheds near the mailbox but no, they are uphill behind the house line.

It is strange that wheelbarrows stood on their nose all lean too far forward not back. They should stand vertical for storage imho. This one also. I suppose if I had the 10cuf tray it would stand and store normally. Washing this one out all pitched over is a hassle due to the machine empty weight. But again that is just a configuration. I will ask and see what their skunk works can do. I can see that big bin for dry materials being real useful.

HaHa -when I was done, it was nice that it pulled me up the hill to the house. I should put a third wheel so I can just ride it.

Thank you for the update. Was it hard to put together? You know what you are doing what about someone with less knowledge. Glad you bought it? thanks again
