Default wheelbarrow

The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words:

Use the widest pneumatic wheel you can obtain.
(1) Easier to steer
(2) Easier to push over lumpy terrain
(3) Less damage when pushed over "sensitive" parts of the garden


And the one with the largest diameter. This may mean having the load
further towards the person using the barrow than is ideal, but it's a
trade-off.

I used a Morris 1000 wheel on a plate welded to a spindle on the smallholding.
