    That’s kind of funny! Mechanical disc brake and everything. Wonder how much weight it adds.

    Hmm, when I get to that point in life I need a cordless wheelbarrow think I'll just stay in the house and let someone else do the yard work.

    That's a new one on me, but Google "Georgia buggy" and you should turn up a gas powered version. They're used for placing concrete inside buildings and such where it's impossible to get a truck and impractical to pump it.

    I'm going to wait for the autonomous version, no sense in telling it where it needs to go when a computer can do it faster.

    All my wheel barrows are cordless. The older I get, the weaker the motor becomes.

    looks like a concrete buggy to me. Actually very practical a site that has much slope. Ever try using a wheel barrow up a steep hill? Even one no steeper then a standard staircase is hard to do unless you are very tall. holding the handles above waist level is tiring.

    Notice the stairs below are designed to run a wagon.

    Funny! Also contagious as I've been afflicted with the same results.
