Muck truck power barrow for builders and landscapers.
The power barrow from Muck Truck is available has various accessories ideal for skip loading, moving dirt, gravel, paving slabs, concrete, cement, etc. This 4WD power barrow is excellent for moving all kinds of building and landscaping materials over almost any terrain effortlessly, as well as being very popular with tree surgeons and woodland owners for extracting logs and timber. At just 710mm wide, this unit is very easy to manoeuvre through garden side gates and narrow access areas. The muck truck increases productivity by 400% compared to a manual wheelbarrow, maximising work efficiency, reducing labour, and saving time and money. When extra traction or stability is required these wheelbarrows can be supplied with twin wheels. Grass tyres can also be fitted when low ground pressure is needed to protect prestigious lawns. Equipped with a Honda 160cc GXV commercial grade 4-stroke engine, this motorised wheelbarrow provides great performance, similar to a micro dumper. The muck truck is stable, balanced, and easy to steer when empty or loaded to its 250kg capacity. Its centre of gravity allows the skip to be emptied without the added expense of a hydraulic-powered system. Three forward speeds and one reverse speed reduces the operator's fatigue. The max dumper model has 365Kg capacity for shifting larger loads. |

Muck Truck FAQ's
1. Q - Can I fill up a skip fully using just the Muck Truck and loading ramp?
A – Yes, once you have filled the end you are loading from, simply drive the wheelbarrow into the skip with the bucket in the tipped position (90°) and push the dirt or materials across the skip to the other end, then work your way back with each tip to the loading end, this way your machine can fill up a skip completely.
2. Q – What is the parts ordering process?
A – Parts are kept in stock, if you process your order by 12 noon you will receive your parts on the following working day.

Tom & Lyn Roberts, Chicken Farmers - Dymchurch, Kent
Keith, we have only had our muck truck a week but already we are finding 101 uses for it!
My niece who is 34 went and collected ½ tons of sheep feed which was 25 bags at 20 kg each. Normally we would struggle with 3 bags at a time when pushing the wheelbarrow through a muddy footpath and a narrow gate, but with the muck truck, she did all 25 bags carefully stacked, in only “two trips”, and drove through the mud easily, from the front of the house to the storage shed which is about 400 yards, very impressive!
We wanted a machine to clean out our chicken sheds in the winter. We pull out the “droppings boards” and using a hand-held backhoe tool we scrape the droppings straight into a wheelbarrow, so a great benefit of this power barrow is that it holds so much more compared to a standard machine, and it just drives effortlessly through wet muddy conditions.
We have also been using it this week for repairing our footpaths by filling the uneven areas where puddles/mud seems to form regularly with broken roof tiles and rubble, so this power barrow has been very useful. This machine is proving to be a very useful time saver and I can see myself using it for lots of different jobs around the farm.
Thanks again Keith for excellent service from start to finish. I'll be happy to act as a reference to both Fresh Group and its products
Ron Eyre & Clare Worsley - Shefford, Bedfordshire
We bought our power barrow from Fresh Group Products last December. We keep 3 horses over 2 acres at a nearby livery yard, whilst the paddocks are generally flat and in the main well drained, the Muck Truck in some parts of our fields has gone through some pretty sloppy, muddy areas with ease where it would be near impossible to push a wheelbarrow through.
Myself and Clare are both in our 50s and when manually poo picking we would certainly feel aches and pains in our lower back and legs, now we have this power barrow, it's a breeze. When we spoke to Keith about purchasing the machine, he advised us that the skip extensions would be very useful to bulk up the volume of the wheelbarrow, and they certainly have done that. I would say we get at least 5 times the amount into this unit as we would into a normal wheelbarrow and because we have to empty it about ½ a mile away from the paddocks, now we are only making 1 trip compared to 5+ trips!
Roughly speaking I would say, what would have taken us 45-50 minutes is now taking us 10 minutes, but just as important, myself and Clare are a lot healthier in ourselves because this machine is saving our lower back and legs from wear and tear! Keith, thanks for an excellent service, your knowledge and advice have been invaluable, from start to finish we found your company and the product 1st class and guiding us to get the skip extensions was a definite winner.
It's not often you buy something that you are this happy with, please feel free to use us a reference to Fresh Group and your products. Thanks again, Ron & Clare
Kevin Rostock is a builder and his wife has 2 horses, using the Muck Truck for poo picking in the paddock! Invergordon, Rosshire, Scotland
We bought our Max Truck last year back in March 2011. I have to say “It's probably the best power barrow I have bought for my business and I should have got one years ago”. I use the muck truck in my building business and my wife nicks the machine for poo picking her 3 acres of paddocks where she keeps her 2 horses, the paddock is on quite a steep hill and it used to be a nightmare when doing manually with a wheelbarrow, now it's a doddle!
For me - well it gets used regularly, being very easy to transport around in my Volkswagen Pick Up. Overall I would say the muck truck is 4 to 5 times quicker than doing the jobs manually. As a small builder a lot of my work is doing house extensions where access is a problem but the muck truck is very quick and easy to use and fits through side gates with ease. Recently we had to lay concrete where access was particularly tight, in the past I would have had 3 men on the job, now, using the machine it just needed 2 men, one using the barrow and the other finishing the concrete. When transporting the concrete I would say we were able to carry at least 4 times the amount using the muck truck than we would have with a normal wheelbarrow with the guys being “completely finished by the end of the day”, we also have loaded it using a site cement mixer.
On your advice we also bought the flatbed attachment which we can change over in seconds, we use it a lot, to date we have moved paving slabs, blocks, bricks, mono blocks.
We use the muck truck for removing soil etc from customer sites; we use our ramps and load both the pick up and an Ifor Williams trailer which has drop sides.
As you know we purchased separately the snow plough attachment last December, we have used it to clear snow on a number of occasions since, we have a large drive area and also a very large patio. I was amazed at how well it did the job. I would say about 10 times quicker than I have ever done it before, excellent!
Keith, I have been VERY pleased with my purchases and your company. You gave me excellent advice and guidance in my investment from the moment I spoke to you. Please feel free to use me as a reference for any of your new customers. Regards, Kevin.
Neil Simpson - Stockbridge, Hampshire
Thanks Keith for supplying our Muck Truck Max dumper, we use it to maintain a 50 acre private estate. In the main we use it in the closed quarters of the estate (about 5 acres I would guess). We tend to use it like a high-capacity powered wheelbarrow. We have quite a lot of steps and lawn inclines and need to get to different levels of the grounds, and the muck truck climbs the steps and drives up the inclines with ease, it's at least 3 times faster than any other machine and I can get a lot more done in a day because I am nowhere near as exhausted as I used to be when I didn't have it.
We use the muck truck in conjunction with a small tractor and trailer, the muck truck carries everything from soil, hedge cuttings fallen branches, dead flowers, fallen fruit, leaves and just about everything.
From our first conversation to the prompt delivery coupled together with your obvious knowledge of your product and understanding our needs I feel the whole experience has been a pleasurable one and I would have no hesitation in recommending both your company and your products to any of your future customers.
