I used to have a MK2 carp porter in the good old days, couldn't fault it really never gave me any problems and I thought it handled well and never tipped for me I think the extra wheels would make it more stable , still really wishing I hadn't sold it tbh would be nice to still have it

I watched a fella using a 3 wheel barrow on my lake the other week trying to negotiate a bridge. One of the funniest things I've seen in ages.

I'l stick with one thanks

I did, of course, mean the number of wheels.....😉

Unless your pushing on flat ground the three wheels create more drag , if you push all the weigh forward it sort of defeats the object and can make it more unstable .

Now if you have a powered barrow thats a different ball game all together, it all works extremely well,

Just my experiences with barrows and it inevitably lead to a powered barrow.

Can you not lift the back wheels off the ground in that situation and go for it ? I never really had an issue with one wheel though as long as it was loaded ok it would behave fairly well
