Like that but how does it compare pushing wise to a one wheel?


No good for pushing, you have to pull :-)

The advantages are a larger capacity, you aren't carrying weight on your
arms when pushing it like a wheelbarrow.

They are good on flat ground, not so good on uneven ground, narrow
paths, manoeuvring in restricted places etc. And for things like
shifting piles of stuff which you want to move and then tip out, not so
good maybe as you might have to faff about reversing it etc.

As ever, horses for courses
