Just wondering if anyone has used a gas or electric powered wheelbarrow?
Some have wheels and some are on tracks. I was thinking of getting one to haul firewood but there are a lot of choices out there.
 

CanyCom BFP602 Walk-behind Rubber Track Carrier.​


Awesome, love them. Big fan of CanyCom equipment. Great honda engine and no complaints. Have used them for years and used hard in front country and backcountry settings. Highly recommend​

What kind of money does one go for? Don't see a price on their website.

That particular model is ~$7k. Not cheap.
 
We used them in the 80's to move concrete for small pours the trucks couldn't get to. They were slow-but-sure moving and dumping far larger loads than you could move with a manual wheelbarrow. It was a toss-up as far as production goes as a manual wheelbarrow was faster and more agile (with a much smaller load). However, at the end of the day you were a lot less tired-out when using the motorized one.

For firewood...hmmmm, probably a manual wagon or barrow would be just fine, imo. Especially at 7 large...
 
I have a gas powered track wheelbarrow. 180x180_pad.jpg
Not very refined machine, a little slow, but it's rated for 660lbs and will haul anything that fits in it uphill all day without complaining.

These sell for $1999.00 new at the Canadian version of Harbor Freight. Got this one next to new for 1200 Canadian pesos.
As mentioned, manual wheelbarrows are faster and more agile, but for heavier loads, this saves my back for sure.
 
Cool. Ive been to home depot a thousand times and never knew they sold anything like that.
