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.

????????????????????? What has this to do with H Ford? Oh, almost forgot. A misleading pro diversion when you can't answer a question. Yes it was a diversion. But not by me. By you and your twin dysoner DIB. Henry Ford has nothing to do with the wheel barrows. As usual DIB's sugar coated dyson bull shine was to praise dyson for this product to high heavens as a dyson innovation. As I indicated, he's wrong. The current ball barrow on the market today is called Nubarro and is not a dyson invention. It is the invention of a German company that markets these products through the internet. As I also said, the Nubarro is not a favorite among the heavy duty construction haulers. Why? Having half the hopper capacity and more expensive than the competition wheel barrows. As I also said the upshot of ball barrows is that the latest and greatest in wheel barrows is a two wheeled hopper with twice the hopper capacity for much less money. Dyson has nothing to do with barrows anymore. He and his ballbarrow are ancient history. BTW, DIB no comment on the awarding of the Indira Ghandi Peace Prize to Bill Gates over the weekend. You know Bill. The guy you like to attack and malign here as well as his company Microsoft. Seems Bill Gates' Foundation has spent ONE BILLION DOLLARS to fight AIDS and eradicate polio in India. Plans to do the same with other larger impoverished countries with health epidemics. Nice guy. Philantropist par excellence. Carmine D.
