Plastic wheelbarrows typically have a lower maximum weight capacity, but this model definitely defies that rule with an impressive load capacity of 1,200 pounds. Its quick-release dumping mechanism (controlled via a lever on the handle) lets you empty loads and finish jobs fast. And you can transition from pulling the cart manually to hooking it up to tow from a tractor or ATV, thanks to the convertible handle.
