Hi everyone,
I'm looking forward to reading your superb projects. I like the motorised wheelbarrow, lovely design.

Hi 746watts - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

Are you thinking of putting together a motorized wheelbarrow?

Yes, I'll modify my metal single wheel barrow. I was thinking of using a 12v motor (winch type) geared for walking pace driving the front wheel. Add 2 castor type wheels to the ground hoops (legs) to remove the need to lift. My woman is only 5ft1in and struggles to push it. She can tip it sideways to empty. She loves to help and I won't hold her back. I might look at a way to get the body to tip. Info on this forum will be very useful.

Very nice. Keep us posted. If you start a new discussion in the Tools in Progress subforum, you can get some ideas and tips for your build: Tools in Progress
