are any of these easy to collapse to put away folded down in a car
In reply to Post #16
I'm fortunate enough to have the van specifically for fishing so I can whack the barrow straight in, no need to collapse it.
It did take a while to build it the other evening, but that was things you normally wouldn't need to do like stick the rear wheels on their axles etc
That said,I still think it would take quite a while to dismantle, and some of the bits are heavy and you wouldn't want to accidentally bang them against your car during ‘take down'
I'm planning on fishing at the syndicate this weekend, so weather permitting I will try and get some video done with my brother. I'd be interested to know myself
As with all barrows, some things are time consuming (like wrapping the Velcro around a frame to secure a bag) and this is where the time could stack up. More luggage = more delays before you set off from the car park
I did like the bank stick bag. It has nice strong looking loops on its top left/right corners and so it can be very quickly hooked onto the front or back bars, and face either way to ensure it remains accessible.

Treat the parts you care about with a can of ACF50. They rust and look tatty really quickly otherwise...

I had really hoped the quality with these was better than they were with the original Carp Porters...

Thanks, I'll get some as it's reasonably priced.
When I spoke to Korda at that show they said the box section had been sprayed (internally) and so it should be corrosion resistant. I doubt they done that with previous models.
My main concern (probably) is the motor being external to the wheel, I will be conscious of deep mud this winter. My other power barrow (Nash one) has the motor internal to the wheel and so no cables to snag etc
But I'm sure the Trident will be good. I hope it is...not long until I get to try it out (24hrs and I'll be fishing)

Have a look at the Korda videos on their YouTube channel. All their barrows are rusty predominantly around the motor, and exposed fixings.
I treated my MK8 the day I got it out the box, and 10 months later (ISH) it's still good.

Could you please measure the width of the rear wheel base please

800mm from outside of left to outside of right tyres.
It's narrower than my Nash barrow as the wheels are vertical on the Trident, not splayed.

For anyone who cares, I see carp porter have now released their version of a spinning rear wheel kit for retrofitting to 'older' carp porters.

That's what I thought, I'll wait for the barrow buddies and save £60

I like the idea of the barrow buddies one, I just wish they (he?) would sort out a decent web shop. As I've never fancied ordering ''from a bloke off Facebook'

I've had a barrow buddies one delivered today (will check it out when I get home) for my MK7 power porter
There's a long waiting list for them as they are made to order. I ordered mine on the 30th May so expect a fair wait if you order one
I went for the new GLS Pro Adjustable version which is obviously adjustable on the widths of the wheels and come with puncture proof tyres. £195 delivered which I didn't think was too bad. The fixed width version is £165 delivered. Payment is taken when it's ready to be posted
If you are interested in buying one/going on the list then just text the number on his pages and he will put you on the list and then get back in touch when it's your turn for one to be built to make sure you still want it before he orders the materials
Apart from the long wait it's been pretty straight forward to deal with barrow buddies

The Barrow Buddies didnt work for me. I found the wheels spinning around whilst getting it in and out of the van a pain. For me they needed some sort of locking mechanism.
