Yard carts and pimped out Wheelbarrows

Belated Happy Summer Solstice :sun_with_face:

Anyone else frustrated with the drudgery of constantly relocating yardwork tools, requiring a bunch of walking, or, tight rope walker balancing skills to avoid tipping questionably stacked wheelbarrows?

I know the solution involves CNC cut plywood, 2x4s, EMT and maybe some ASA/PETG parts…

Guessing some fellow tinkerers have similar frustrations, and hopefully already pimped out their wheelbarrows and/or made dedicated all terrain tool/material carts? I looked at existing barrow accessories, but they’re meh. Am not looking to add dual rotor axial flux motors, RTK and SLAM (just yet…). For now, it’d be great to mount a bunch of needed tools without them tipping, or impaling me.

Well, I try to stack it all on the lawn mower when I move from one area to the next. A mount of some sort would be kinda slick. Good idea.

Ooh, doubling up mower to be a tool caddy would be great. Free’s up the wheelbarrow to do material hauling tasks…

Needs some work, but using some CNC cut ply parts could be useful. Thank you!

Something like this?

Yep, the beer holder and mini cooler is a P0 critical requirement. Misc storage would be useful. But I need to mount an arsenal of yardwork tools, so the burrow buddy’s light weight Martha Stewart* target demographic felt meh for me. Burrow buddy and similar looks helpful for light duty gardening.

*No disrespect to Martha Stewart, I’m confident she could easily shiv me if it came down to it.

Yea, I think you would have to extend it down the sides so you could keep the center of gravity lower if there are a lot of tools.

I’m dying over the shiv…..:rofl:

Man with all the long tools you’ve got there I feel like you’d be better off with a more vertical setup. Maybe a hand truck with attachments. Was trying to think of a way to vertically mount on the wheelbarrow but that feels akward to my brain and something low on the sides sounds better.

Gentlemen…..get yourself a Gorilla wagon. They are the cat’s meow. I outfitted mine with some taller sidewalls. Hauling yard tools, grass clippings, garden produce, kids….you name it. Use it every single day.

They could both be a fellow is some circles though.
