Works fine, loaded aprx 65 kg uphill roughly 40 degree gradient. All fine except chain ratling noise
Needs little skill to keep balance
 
Had some computer confusion. Was able to unzip file and watch video. More people could see if you upload video to YouTube or some other video website.

Here is a list of media websites where you can link to URL and see video on this forum.
Apple Music, Dailymotion, Facebook, Flickr, Giphy, Imgur, Pinterest, Reddit, SoundCloud, Spotify, TikTok, Tumblr, Twitch, Twitter, Vimeo, YouTube.

I hate Facebook.
 
Thanks for the reply ๐Ÿ’
Project is yet to meet my expectations. Felt rather premature to share in other media, any way let me see if other options available to reach you all, sharing here is for feed back from like minded to improvise or to know others view point. Marginal farmers, elderly one struggle to move things.๐Ÿ™

Create account. Upload videos. Put videos here. Lots more people will see. Some people are afraid of zip files. Or don't know how to deal with them. The zipper on my pants is broke.

Planning to make 2 wheel cart with same setup and up to 80 kgs.

Marty the contractor here. Every once in a while I need to move a few cubic yards / tons of stone. Order stone, gravel, or sand, delivered in a dump truck. Always dreamed of having some type of machine with a bucket to move stone, gravel.

I have no machine :( Renting costs lots. Hiring machine and operator costs more.

How I do. Get 2 big wheelbarrows. Better get 3 in case one breaks.

Think one wheel is better to travel across mud. Make a narrow trail from boards, plywood, or whatever trash I find. Hire 2 big guys. If they unreliable? Better hire 3 big guys. On the back of the dump truck is a little door. Ask dump truck driver if he can open and close little door? If he seems in a hurry to dump stone, gravel, or sand in a pile? Give him $20. If he is good, happy, little door operator? I usually give a $$ tip.

2 big guys push 2 wheelbarrows from dump truck to wherever I want pile of whatever I bought. No hills in my neighborhood. If there were hills? Guess I would need to hire bigger big guys?

Why can I not find a video of how that small door works? Am I the only one who knows about it?

๐Ÿ’ i my view,single wheel Barrow demand human effort to large extent mainly for balancing. Shoulder loads are immense for heavier uneven loads which limit every thing except convenience. Never think of its usefulness for heavier, uneven loads, roads.
Required skills caps user segments โ˜น๏ธ
However for 60< kg, narrow lane it is wonder wand for loner. Any way proposed small 2 wheel cart work is on, and definitely share soon.
thanks
