Thanks josh, im another one thats not getting any younger and getting loads of aches and pains, minor surgeries etc so i think im going to look at the idea of a powered porter.
I liked the idea of the tsm as my nash barrow has been spot on and looks like it will go on for a while yet, it does seem better built than than the carp porters i have had in the past, but if tsm are hard to get hold of then maybe its not the best idea.

I was interested in buying one and wanted to see one before parting with the cash. I just couldn't get them to agree for me to visit so went with a porter.

I'm sure you are right about his set up, pretty sure he makes to order, when I bought mine we exchanged texts/messages can't remember which as he wanted to set it up ready for my barrow and I had to give him some measurements and I was a bit undecided on which wheel to go for.
The whole process was very smooth, he kept to agreed timescales and I was over the moon with the finished product.

What happens if you have a problem with it, do you leave it at a pre-arranged drop off point in the woods and await further instructions?

I looked at a power porter last night that was only a few months old. I get the impression that the power part of the barrow is well made but the barrow itself isn't. They guy had actually taped sections to stop the paint coming off. I've owned a few prestige barrows and they really don't compare to other models for build quality. The avid and trakker barrows I have had since are far more robust.
I've looked at the tsm one myself but even though I agree it looks better built I wasn't a fan of the control mechanism.
Has there been anymore news on the Nash version?

I was told in a tackle shop that Nash are doing some sort of breakdown cover for it. I wonder if it will be like the rac? Imagine Alan Blair, charlied up to the eyeballs, dashing round the country all night in a bright orange van fixing barrows.

The front of mine is a bit scratched where it sits against the metal grill bulkhead in the van. I just stuck an old towel up to try and stop it getting any worse. To be fair though the paint on the front/sidebars is purely cosmetic and as it is alloy underneath (like the originals were anyway) it isn't going to rust. Depends on how precious you are about stuff like that i suppose.
