70007 The Original Yard Rover Dual-Wheel Home Garden Wheelbarrow Cart

Received in a timely manner. Product was well packaged and it was extremely easy to assemble. Components were all well marked and small hardware was well identified in a vacuum cartoon. Only time will tell about product longevity and resistance to normal use. Definitely not for extreme use with heavy items, but perfect for gardening and moving mulch around the house.

Arrived pretty much the next day. It was really easy to assemble and it works just fine.

BOTTOM LINE: This 2-wheel Marathon Yard Rover is relatively cheap, went together fast, is steady & maneuverable around the yard, doesn't weigh much nor take up a lot of space when stored. Just keep in mind that you can't overload this light-duty wheelbarrow and expect it to hold up for very long. Cheap not only applies to the price but the overall construction as well. It's good enough for occasional light use, so I felt it was a good investment. 4 STARSTHOUGHTS: My wife had an old steel, single-wheeled wheelbarrow that had been her father's but the metal pan was really getting rusty, the wooden handles were pretty rickety and the weather-rotted tire kept losing pressure; making maneuverability a real struggle hauling a full load of dirt or gravel. Construction guys who use them all the time might be able to make a single wheel unit do everything except dance, but for the average once-in-a-while / weekend project homeowner like me they feel shifty and often downright dangerous. So when I decided to replace our old one the dual wheel option seemed a far more practical choice. All of the hardware needed was included in a shrink-wrapped package, including a little allen wrench to speed up the assembly process. It went together in less than 30 minutes. My only cheat was that I skipped the included hardware for attaching the plastic pan and bought stainless steel nuts & bolts instead, plus I added 4 large fender washers to help distribute the pressure from the 4 bolts over a wider area, so hopefully the plastic tub won't crack - or at least not as quickly.To date we've hauled bulky garbage bags, wet leaves, lumber, dirt, mulch, landscaping gravel and other misc. junk and so far it's handled it all without incident. Just remember: this wheelbarrow isn't a solid steel, construction-grade piece of equipment; it's a lightweight, occasional-duty weekend warrior tool. Load it on the light side and you should get years of reliable service out of it. Another bonus: the light-weight design also means that it's easy to hoist up and store out of the way during the off seasons. I hung mine up on a couple of nails on a rafter in my garage. Sure beats tripping over it during the winter!UPDATE: Now in its 3rd year of ownership, I really put this thing to the test over the summer, tackling a long overdue project to bury my sump pump discharge line. After renting a trencher and digging a 110 feet long by 4 foot deep trench, I used this seemingly flimsy plastic wheelbarrow to haul 5 TONS (!) of pea stone that I poured below & above the length of corrugated pipe I put down [see photo]. The cheap little Marathon Yard Rover held up like a champ! I have definitely gotten my $45 worth out of this bugger ...and it's still going strong! :-D

I’ve been looking at this for some time and finally decided to purchase, I wish I hadn’t waited.This is very durable, easy to use , easy to push and pull with a heavy load. It’s not to low or to high.It’s easier to use in my opinion than the original metal wheelbarrow. Comfortable handle and how it’s positioned versus two on either side on others.This has been a great purchase and I have gotten a lot of work done with it.

Simple to assemble and works as it should.

I've read reviews about this cart being toy size, I disagree. I moved 27 cubic yards of mulch this spring using this cart. It is of the right size to slip in between the shrubbery and dump the mulch where it was needed, no need to shovel off the cart. The large wheels made it easy to maneuver it over dips in the yard, stone pathways, etc. You need to keep in mind that it isn't made of steel and is not intended to mix concrete or haul a load of bricks or other heavy-duty jobs, but it still can do many jobs and is definitely not a toy. Assembly is a bit tricky. The instructions state to not tighten anything until everything is in place and screws have been started before tightening everything down. I followed this and I would say that rule is almost mandatory.

Decent-ish wheelbarrow for the price. I wish I had gone with a metal one, however. Plastic bin arrived with deep grooves, shavings, and scratches all over the place. Not good for gravel/wood as another reviewer mentioned. The plus side is that it is very lightweight and maneuverable when using/hauling.The main issue I had was with the bolts and the holes. The holes my unit came drilled with were nowhere near what the instruction booklet showed and caused many problems, even though I installed them correctly. The metal rods were also shaped differently, making installation shoddy.The holes being drilled at extremely incorrect angles caused me to spend extra time redrilling them to correct the angles and subsequently losing structural integrity of the bed. I very likely see the plastic cracking in the future due to the force being applied on the bolts.Other than these issues, the bed is decent enough at $60. Very useful if you aren't planning on lifting heavy loads.If you can/need to lift heavier loads + things like gravel and wood, get a 6 cubic feet metal bed, for $20-40 extra. Otherwise, you will crack this bed and have plastic shavings in your loads from the rocks/wood (this is very easy to scratch).

A wheelbarrow with two wheels is far easier to push than a wheelbarrow with only one wheel - especially when very full. However, emptying it out, with a load of dirt for example, is a little tougher with two wheels if you’re accustomed to just turning it to the side to empty - you’ll need to dump forward instead. The quality seems good but I’ve only used it a dozen times.
