Flat free wheel barrow wheels

[DJ’s Timber]

I wonder if they make a solid flex tyre like they do for Skid Steers

Interestingly designed tyre on that link. It probably prevents wear on shallow turns on those skid steer machines.

A pneumatic tyre can be quite hard under a lot of air pressure. So, I have no idea how hard the rubber is in these 'no flat' tyres. This strange handling some complain about may be becuase they are soft. Perhaps, rather than being solid rubber, they may actually be a regular tyre that has been filled with something. Foam, maybe.

No personal experience but Sherlock make a solid flat free wheel for their wheelbarrows.https://www.bunnings.com.au/sherlock...yres-tubes.htm

I can't believe anyone would think a solid cast iron wheel barrow wheel is going to be cheaper then a solid/pneumatic one?



hell just go get a 2nd barrow for $20 and throw the tub out if you don't want new. there are also alot of other places to buy tyres compared to bunnings

https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/...ow/340466.html - $30
https://www.amazon.com.au/Wheelbarro...A1UZ5O7SRZGFSM - $25

I don't think steel wheels are available any more. I doubt cast iron was ever available for wheelbarrows. Prices of old barras with steel wheels vary from about $20 to $200, and the sellers generally push the notion of them only being good as a garden decoration.

The links you provided HB were all pneumatic tyres, which is not really what I'm after. I already have a couple of them that are only good for the bin. The last one was weird. Had to laugh. I think I could find better things to do with $7699.
