high-tech wheelbarrow. It worked!!!! Wheelbarrows with brakes! It rocks!! :-)

OH? Got pics or a link? How large is the tire? (We're in the market for a robust wheelbarrow or utility cart.)

Here it is:

It also has a "flat free" tire. It is foam-filled instead of air filled. Nice.

I unloaded a fat full yard of gravel from the truck (in two pickup loads), and toted it downhill to the bulkhead, in only a couple of hours, not including time to run out and reload the pickup. The same thing without the brake would've been twice as many loads and a really backbreaking chore. But with the brake I could easily control a load that was twice the amount of gravel, and I finished up without being all beat up at the end.

Neat stuff. I recommend it highly.
