Powered Wheelbarrow Makes Wood-Hauling Easy

Powered Wheelbarrow Makes Wood-Hauling Easy WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 25-4-2 "I built this powered 3-wheeled cargo carrier to haul firewood to the house and to handle other loads too heavy to tote by hand," says Bill Chumley, Altoona, Ala. "I made it from an old Wheelhorse riding mower that had a 2-speed rear end and 3 forward and 1 reverse gear. "It's powered by a 5 hp gas engine. I made a 3-ft. square bed with 10-in. high side rails. "There's a handle mounted on front of the engine that acts as a clutch and a T-handle that's used for steering the front caster wheel. A throttle mounts on the steering handle. "Saves a lot of lifting. Works very well for all kinds of jobs." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Bill Chumley, 1650 Mayo Rd., Altoona, Ala. 35952 (ph 205 589-8364).
