We have gone through 1 & 2 wheeled barrows, both here & on the mainland... the poly one we had here did last longer than the metal, but had failures at the bolt through... If I ever to a barrow again, I would put large fender washers around the areas the poly meets a bolt....BUT....
We do not do barrows for much of anything anymore (too many times twisting to "save" a load & shoveling up just to dump down....
Mostly use mortar bins for everything from green waste (makes cleaning the truck after a green waste run easy... & dumping a load is flipping up a side...) to rocks to cinder loads to palm seeds for friends...slides over most terrain & like a dream over wet muddy terrains, something that slogs down wheelbarrows...
This was a learned thing from having wood chips delivered in the winter on the mainland... no way to use a wheelbarrow, so I used those plastic toboggans... they slid on snow & grass like greased lightening... & they do glide over cinders...so we still glide vs wheel here....
Tried to find them when we first moved & could not, but found mortar bins... (believe it or not, there was one winter when Walmart accidentally was sent plastic tobaggones, but we had our mortar bin collection by then...)
