Ballbarrow / Wheelbarrow
Max Langfield
I used to have one, but I now need to replace it and cannot find any supplier.
Dyson designed it years ago and it won universal acclaim. Hozelock did supply them but now they do
not.
Is there an up to date alternative to the original ballbarrow, the front ball (and not wheel) is the
feature I really do need.
Thanks if you can help me.

tyre will be better than a solid tyred garden-barrow. Wickes or B&Q do them
for Ł19.99.

Beware of the cheap imitation ballbarrows, they're really flimsy and
broke the first time we put a bale of hay in it.
A pneumatic tyred builders' barrow is the only thing I'd recommend.
Pretty good on mud too (though not as good as a ball, obviously).
Builders' yards or agricultural suppliers for them.

AFAIK there is nothing like it on the market.
ASL? , then Hozelock who bought the manufacturing rights from Dyson in
1979 ceased production a few years ago.
