Is this easier on the back than a wheelbarrow with comparable weight?

Yes, it is easier than a wheelbarrow since the weight is supported by the four wheels -- all you have to do is pull and steer. Also, it is less tippy.
1689728
yes and you don't have to balance it when you stop or add to the load also.

Oh Dear Lord in Heaven YES.........Much Much better........I myself have a very bad back and thisCart is a snap to use .....Makes everything lighter to haul around

Very definitely. I am 77 and I was concerned about the 60 lb weight. I ordered it anyway, feeling that, with 4 large wheels, it wouldn't be too much of a factor. I was right. I have used it to move mulch from my driveway pile to my flower beds and weeds and debris to a disposal area in the lower part of my yard. Slopes all the way, up and down. It is great. I love it. Good Luck to you.

Compared to a regular one-wheeled wheelbarrow, the Gorilla cart is infinitely easier. Compared to a two-wheeled cart, it is still probably easier depending on how well made the two-wheeled cart is, and the nature of your back issues. I could transport heavier loads in my old wooden-sided two wheeled cart, but it was very well-balanced (and two or three times the price). I'd say the Gorilla cart is harder on your arms and legs if you are hauling a heavy load.

The only time I would think it would be when releasing the handle to dump it. I can pull it with one hand with a full cart, but that is on level ground. A full cart of dirt can get heavy but only when dumping it.

I think it is. You don't have to balance it like a wheelbarrow. You do have to pull it, so a heavy load requires a strong pull. The wheels turn freely,so it moves pretty easily.

When loaded I can get pretty heavy but is easy to pull. It is a big wagon. It may be too big for a child.

Yes. My drive way is full of large gravel and I have a difficult time of it just trying not to turn my ankle. From the gate into the yard and to the back door is over rocky yard and clumps of grass. The distance is not even one mile, however, it is rough. No problem.The back wheels have a diameter of 9 inches, this makes the going much easier.

It seems that if you put the back wheel in the stand, it should support the weight assuming it is not an off axis load.

It can't be lifted because it's too heavy, but it is relatively easy to use. Occasionally I run it off the driveway and I'm tempted to muscle it back on, but it really will pull itself back back up when operating correctly. It is self propelled and is best for longer run driveways where you don't have to do a lot of turning. We got it because we have a long, steep driveway and the trax help alot with that. A flat driveway would probably be fine with wheels. I'm over 60 but I'm physically fit.

yes.You only need common tools, and is easy to do. But it is heavy,and so help is required to move it around during assemby.

Yes, it's relatively easy to lift one end and roll on the built-in wheels. It's a bit heavy though so caution for anyone who shouldn't be lifting.

I've only done it once so far, so we fumbled a little. But yes it was easy. I don't remember about the weight. Parts of if aren't to bad, The heaviest section is the part where the steering tiller is located. I haven't actually used it much since I mainly bough it for when I go off somewhere (zoo, etc.). So far I'm very happy with it and would buy one again if I needed another and could afford to. And Amazon has given GREAT customer service regarding it and everything else I bought from them. Let me know if I can tell your anything else. Kimetha Bryan

We have an especially windy back yard and with blocks on the base it has been fine. As long as you take it down in high winds it is OK. We used 16 inch flat paver stones to weigh it down.

If you are 100 lbs and can lift 40 pound bags, then loading them into the cart and pulling it over rough grounds will be easy for you because the tires are great for handling rough grounds. My dad is about your age and he likes the cart too. It's definitely easier than using a wheelbarrow. I hope that answers your question.

for sure it weight more than 29lbs, it is very heavy, i had hard time to move it when it was in the box, but as soon as you put everything together, it was not bad to move around with wheels. watch out for rust in the handle fitting, bad welds and misaligned the enforcement bars.

Very easy. It is like pulling or pushing a wagon. It has large wheels. It is a great ride for the price!

A bit off topic, but you can get solid rubber wheelbarrow tires. The stock tires on your typical new wheelbarrow these days are pretty pathetic.

Yes, it is pretty easy. Just need a screwdriver. Note that this is just a decorative garden item. It's not made for adults to walk on.

Yes, it's high enough that you wouldn't have to bend over to push it, however, I would recommend the four wheel version instead. It turns much better than the three wheel version, I've had both.

I think that depends on the size of the wheels on your wheelbarrow. If it is the correct size including the width of the axle you should be good to go.

Assembly wasn't difficult at all. Instructions were quite clear. The rubber tire was the only thing that required a little patience to get it to line up. There are height adjustments for the handle to match it up for the user. It takes a little while to get the snow flip down but once mastered it is easy. Very easy on my back and it works with heavy snow too. It works best on flat surfaces like concrete, asphalt or wooden decks. It tends to dig in to grassy or gravel surfaces. Overall I love it.
