Abstract: A transport trailer for wheelbarrows includes a longitudinal channel member for the guidance and support of a wheelbarrow wheel and is adapted to be coupled to the drawbar of a garden tractor. A rear transverse member supports the rear end of the longitudinal channel at its center and includes on its upper side and on opposite sides of the longitudinal channel laterally adjustable locking bolts for the legs of wheelbarrows having diverse distances between legs. The rear transverse member carries at its ends a pair of wheels and a ramp for the wheelbarrow is pivotally attached to the rear of the trailer and is biased by a spring to extended and folded positions.
Abstract: A low profile trailer dolly having separated rear wheels and a forward end draft tongue is adapted to be drawn by a garden tractor. The trailer dolly has a pivoted ramp member at its transverse center upon which the wheelbarrow wheel is rolled to elevate the wheelbarrow and nest its wheel between the ramp member and an adjustable supporting bar on the frame of the trailer dolly. Support platforms for the wheelbarrow legs and a leg locking device are provided adjacent to the inner sides of the wheels of the trailer dolly. The device enables a conventional wheelbarrow to serve the purpose of a small wagon around the home or farm.
