What happens here

This video provides a comprehensive demonstration of the Paw Power Assist Electric Wheelbarrow, highlighting its utility in various DIY, landscaping, and construction tasks. It showcases the wheelbarrow's ability to effortlessly transport heavy loads, both human and material (firewood, rocks, mulch), especially on inclines, and demonstrates the resilience of its flat-free tires against sharp objects. The video also presents a clever DIY truck bed unloading system that pairs perfectly with the power-assisted wheelbarrow and details its critical role in building a dry creek bed over a sensitive septic system where traditional heavy equipment is unsuitable.

Xander, it's your turn. [laughter] Hey, wait a minute. I like Xander. Don't hurt him. Yeah. [laughter] I'm enjoyable company. You're not. [music] Time to turn on the electric. [laughter] Dude, you were so close. You got I could have died. My legs aren't in the same spot right now. [laughter] You had the You had the your back arched like you were in prison. Get [music] Oh, he gets he gets the reward. You're more man than [laughter] Stan. I didn't know that was such a thing. But hey, here I only weigh like 155 lbs. He's 200. Yeah. Two, one, go. This should be good for uh You ready? [music] Three, two, one. Run him over. That was onehanded. You did that onehanded. All right. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. All right. That's fine. It's for the video. All right. Ready? Three, two, one, go. That's the difference between the power assist. How you feeling? I'm feeling great, man. You're breathing heavy. That's the workout. I have to go to the gym tonight. It's Now, could you do that all day long? No. No. [music] I don't know. You could hardly do it once. Yeah. It took me three tries. Yeah. [laughter] Could you do it with the power assist all day? All day long. Power assist stays charged. Well, now that's a great question. And we've been using and abusing these powered wheelbarls for over 3 months now, putting them to the test. And what I've noticed is the guys bring them out to the job site and they use them kind of moderate use. Not doing what we did with this pickup truck all day long, but just like you would normally use them on a job site all day, then they're not even charging them at night and using them the next day. Now, these actual powered wheelbarls use a replaceable ATV battery. Meaning when the battery goes, you don't have to go order a custom battery. You can pull the container apart, go down to Walmart, find a replacement battery, and get your wheelbarrow running again. There's a lot of really cool thought that went into this wheelbarrow. And that's why I wanted you guys to see it. So, this actually helps turn a pickup truck into almost like a dump truck. Almost. Yeah. Well, cuz you don't need Well, maybe not a dump truck. Let me rephrase that. You don't you you don't need a loader. And so, this is So, what I see is this kind of like a poor man's loader almost. I can tell you that you can buy a lot of those for the price of one of those. That's the point I was trying to make. See, sometimes he says things that make sense. Now, I know some of the haters out there are going to get me flack because I'm doing a video on a powered wheelbarrow and I'm also doing it on this unloading system, but I really don't give a crap because there's a lot of guys out there that don't have a ton of dough to get started, but they got the heart and the soul and they just need to have some kind of an outlet or some kind of a way to to make it happen. Well, that's what we're going to hopefully accomplish today. So, if you don't have a ton of dope and you still want to get rocking and rolling and landscaping and doing what we do, well, hopefully this video will help you out, but you guys let me know after you're done watching it in the comments down below. [music] Yeah, [music] but it's so nice. Like, I'm literally not even pushing it. All right, guys. I'm going to be the first one to admit I was never a fan of powered wheelbarls until I seen a guy pushing one up and into the back of a pickup truck. And it was at that point that I knew that that could never be done without power assist. It completely changed my mind. But then, as I started to use it on more and more and more of my projects, I realized this thing is just handy in general. It gives guys that don't own loaders and don't own dump trucks the ability to tackle jobs that before would have been impossible. Power assisted wheelbarrow by Pause. It's a This is a one one finger wheelbarrow. Okay. So, we're going to be testing these. Uh this is the run flat tires. You also have the off-road tires on the other wheelbarrow. Show them what we're going to be running over real quick. sander. We got two razor blades and a knife. All right, let's do this thing. You ready? Yep. Oh, that tire is crying. All right, let's watch this nail. Here we go. Look at that thing. That didn't just split the tire. That cut into the sidewall, too. Mhm. You can tell these are solid, though, cuz if you look in where the uh valve stem would go right here. There's no valve stem. It's just more absolutely solid tire. Best tire, period. Best wheelbarrow, period. So, I got a question for you, Blaine. Could you have wheelbarrowed that up by yourself [music] with no power? No. [laughter] Nope. No. That helped a Yeah, this is a this is a pretty steep hill, too. It's still work, but it's a lot easier. Yeah, I [laughter] followed up five times up this hill, but without it, I would have never I never went up the hill. Forget it. And we got problem is we got a septic. Show you guys exactly what our problem is. Yeah, we got the equipment. You can see it all parked right where we can't go because this is all septic lines, all septic fields. And you can't cross this with heavy equipment because any ground compaction destroys the septic system. So it's light stuff. Even wheelbarls, it's light stuff. So once we get up in here, it's a game changer. So you got to have something that can uh still move materials just in a different way. So these guys want us to do a concrete test, but instead of concrete, we're hauling boulders and rocks. And typically what we would do is um use a skid loader or an excavator to bring the material all the way down to the bottom, but we can't because of the septic system. So we got some handy that go along with this project. All right, guys. I'm going to be putting links to everything that you see in this video down below. Simply the easiest way for you to find the place to buy it is just look in the description of this video. All the information you need will be there. So, make sure you check that out. Couple things. One thing I found is put some poly underneath it. Helps. I tried it on top of it and that was stupid because it slid right underneath. This came out the load stayed. So what I did though I realized no, put poly underneath. It does two things. Yeah. Helps this glide across the truck bed cuz I got like a truck liner in here. So it's so it helps this tarp piece glide over it. Uhhuh. Also, and I should have cut this a little wider. It keeps it, you know, when you fill it, you know, it's gonna naturally want to go to the sides. Yeah. So, as it slides off, it keeps this in here. So, at the end, you can kind of flip in there and then just pull the poly out and you got a cleaner truck. Ah. At the end of the day. So, little little tricks I figured out along the way. Tricks of the trade. And this is what say about a yard and a quarter, maybe yard. And you did this with concrete, too. I've done this. This thing will handle a a easily a half yard of rock. Half in like a big half yard. But when you say rock, you're talking about concrete. No. Well, I've done it with concrete. Y um busted up concrete. Y um I've done it with landscaping rock, you know, like, you know, inch and a half limestones, you know, when I put it on my house. Yep. So that uh I'll do I'll do a half yard at a time just to not overload my truck and the thing. And it's a little tough to start, but once you get the first bit off, then it just goes. But I've done Yeah. a full bed almost as full as this of broken up concrete, demoed concrete. You know, mulch can handle, you know, this is about the weight of mulch. Here's another thing you got to remember, too, is there's a tie off strap. And this what this does is this keeps the um the tailgate from flipping up as you as you crank. It's going to want to with the weight of that, it's going to want to pick up the tailgate like that. So, what this does is this comes underneath. It's got a little hook on the end. Hook it on the edge of your bumper. Yeah. You know, give it a good Doesn't have to be cranked, but you know, nice snug. So, that's what keeps your tailgate from wanting to rise as you're unloading it. And then it's just a little bit of muscle, which this is a light load. I mean, you can see how easy it is. nothing. You see how the plastic pretty much stays in place and this just glides over the top of it. [music] like that. And then what's left? That took you 30 seconds to unload. 45 bucks at Harbor Freight. This combined with that electric wheelbarrow and you can actually tackle some bigger projects instead of busting your butt. All right, guys. Well, I hope this video's helped you out. Like I said earlier in the video, I would have never gave a powered wheelbarrow a second glance, but now I've actually owned three of them. We actually used them on job after job after job, and we are actually starting two big jobs with them specifically in mind. It's insane. 2 months ago, I didn't have a single one of them and would have never thought about making a video like this. Now, I own three of them, and we actually are out getting work that we could have never done any other way if we didn't have a powered wheelbarrow. I'm going to tell you, if you own one, you're going to find ways to incorporate them into your business pretty quickly, cuz they are that handy. I hope this video's helped you guys out. God bless you guys. Go get them. [music] Yeah, this would be good for uh burnouts.
