elmoputney Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayvid Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 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.

I never really had an issue with one wheel though as long as it was loaded ok it would behave fairly well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
