Note too DIB and HS that the 2 wheel barrow from LOWE's for $124 has an 8 cubic foot hopper capacity not 4 like the $165 nubarro. So dyson product experts tell me which one is made for the heavy duty man hand hauls? Carmine D.
I would opt for the 2 wheel as I believe it would be better balanced. However, anyone who has to use a light weight vacuum should consider the Ball since they likely could not handle the added load weight in the 2 wheel.
OTH, cu capacity is not necessarily indicative of max weight that either can carry. The 2 wheeler may be less sturdy and can only haul u 8 cu ft of feathers whereas the ball may support 4 cu ft of bricks.

Carmine, Pass judgment? Too funny. Good luck earning the respect from the hard core construction types with your dual wheeled anti-tip wheelbarrow. Below is standard on construction sites. DIB http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2008-07-15_Construction_wheelbarrow_at_Duke.jpg

Carmine, So did you do your research... was Henry Fords Quadricycle a big money maker? For a guy who’s invented nothing, you sure criticize those who do. DIB

DIB
And for a dyson pawn who pawns off his feeble judgment on others' knowledge of products, you and HS sure don't know your own.
Carmine D. Here's a self-help course for you and HS DIB on nubarro wheel barrows and ballbarows. On me. I understand Sir James doesn't get any royalties for these nubarro sales and NuBarro hasn't paid him a cent in copyright infringement. Now tell me DIB why and how would a smart innovator like James with an in-house cadre of hot shot lawyers and NYC hired guns on call in 3 piece suits with 3 names let this little German company get away with this. Even uses dyson's name. By Benjamen Johnson
In 1974, James Dyson created the Ballbarrow, a wheelbarrow with a ball in place of the front wheel. It’s no longer manufactured, but a company named NuVations markets a wheelbarrow similar in concept: the NuBarro.
NuVations manufactures the NuBarro in Germany. They start with a polypropylene roller wheel (the NuRoller) that they claim is impossible to puncture, never needs inflation, and resists heat and acid. The wheel rotates about a steel axle on sealed bearings and can support up to 750lbs. The wide ball-like wheel travels easily over soft terrain like mud, snow, gravel, and sand without sinking and makes it easy to lift, turn, and dump the NuBarro. Heavy-duty skid plates on the bottom of the no-rust steel frame protect it from damage and keep it balanced. The tub is also zinc-galvanized to resist corrosion. NuVations currently sells three different models in some limited retail locations: the NuBarro L which retails for $135 and has a 3 cu. ft. capacity, the NuBarro XL that has a 4 cu. ft. capacity for $150, and the NuBarro XL Pro which also has a 4 cu. ft. capacity, but also features a painted tub, for $165. Despite the website’s 2005 copyright and order links that you can’t order from, NuVations is still alive and kicking. I talked with a representative on the phone who told me they’re planning to re-launch their web page with an e-commerce site, and they’re also planning to sell a new version with a frame that can be broken down and shipped easily via UPS.

????????????????????? What has this to do with H Ford?
Oh, almost forgot. A misleading pro diversion when you can't answer a question.
