Welcome to Trade Peak Construction Machinery Channel. Today, we will invite one of our customers who purchased a tracked wheelbarrow three years ago. And talk about the real experience on this tracked wheelbarrow locally, especially in the winter snow.
We got this tracked wheelbarrow three years ago when we were doing the landscapes for the house.
It’s turned out to be super useful and we still use it almost daily. So I wanted to do a little real-world demonstration of how the tracked wheelbarrow works in the snow. It’s sold by Trade Peak in the US and the SMZ construction equipment here in Canada. We paid eighteen hundred dollars Canadian plus taxes for it.
Trade Peak tracked wheelbarrow has a 196cc Honda knockoff motor, three forward gears, neutral and reverse. It’s a non-synchronized transmission. I mean it has to be stopped to change gears. It has skid steer steering you apply a brake on whichever side you want to turn towards, this can get a little tricky to engage the drive you push it down on a lever, with your left hand, and squeeze the lever underneath at the same time to turn left.
It’s rated for a 660-pound payload, I’ve had way over that when moving rock and have handled it with no issue. The dump box is gas shock assisted and is balanced, so you can easily dump a full load with one hand, the one catch is the front of the dump touches the ground when dumping, so you have to dump them back out of your load to dump the full load.
As you can see it goes through a foot of fresh snow with no issue. It’s actually a little easier loaded when empty it kind of wants the catwalk in the deep snow, so you have to hold up the handles to counteract it.
Here I am actually going out on a little causeway I’ve built with this machine over the last couple of summers. It’s a little lane spot between our house and the lake, just recently beavers have cut down a couple of willow trees, and they’ve fallen across the causeway. You can see where I step off the causeway and my foot goes through the ice luckily, there’s only a foot of water underneath.
So it’s not a dust machine quality by any means that I’ve had to make a couple of small repairs already. Further price point I think you are getting your money’s worth and I have no regret about buying it, it’s been a big help around the house. This spring, it’s heading up to the cabin to use for a couple of major projects up there.

I just parked it beside the woodshed and put an old washtub over the engine. I hope you enjoy this experience moment with me, thank you.
