Wheelbarrows and carts are great but why not one with power to go up hills or long distance with no effort and that is available at a reasonable cost for a lot of gardeners. Interested? then google “adaptable transport” or check out www.kesslerscorp.com inventors guide.
I don’t understand why no-one appears to be interested in making and saelling these.

In response to Robert’s comments. There is a great power wheelbarrow, and it is available for home use and commercial use. They are made by the Power Barrow Company in the U.S. If you have to strain to get your loaded wheelbarrow where you want to go you should check them out.

In response to Chris Hubbard.

Sure these are great power barrows but why spend over $1000.00 when you Could have the same capability for less than $50. Want to know how? Then contact me.
