I didn't know aluminium rusted like steel colour rust? New one on me.
I've always taken 10lt water; got two dogs. 10lt of water = 20kg. I don't take 20lt on the barra with me.
I've no idea how much kit my mates weighs, all I know is he said the Nash gash couldn't shift it and the Prestige does it easy peasy.
Nash Evo - 4-5 miles dependant on terrain and load 100kg load
Power Porter Extreme Big Boy 2021 - 6-8 miles mixed terrain 100kg load
Question, why would you buy the Nash for £50 less than the Prestige number considering the Prestige goes further, doesn't wheelspin and can climb hills, why would you do that? By the way, the Nash is apparently rated to 110kg.

On Earth 1 litre of water weighs 1kg.

That barrow looks enormous. If you session last as long as 10l of water takes to drink, between you and 2 dogs, they aren't really going to be long sessions. No way you need that much gear.
Why not just get panniers for the dogs?

Hang on a minute, who are you to decide what is or what isn't excessive and what someone needs or doesn't need, what are you, the fishing police or something, like seriously? What is it with some people deciding in their heads what other people should or shouldn't do. I'm not you, you know? I'll do as I please. If I want to take two barras with me, I will. If I want to take 10 or 100lt of water with me, I'll do that too.
I don't care what you do, you can take as little or as much as you like for all I care, just don't think you can judge and attempt to decide what others should or should not take, ya feel me?

Alright precious, keep your knickers on. It was only an observation.
But appreciate your input, the nash barrow is gash cause it doesnt carry half a tackle shop

It literally isn't half a tackle shop. My main bag: my tackle box for instance is one of those old Thinking Anglers things that they don't make any more, very small in comparison and not extravagant to what's about. The biggest excess is a 78,000 Ridgemonkey power pack. The rest of my bag is made up of cooking gear, brew kit, binos, DSLR, tripod etc, nothing mental.
A decent bed and bivvy works out a lot in weight. I've fished just under a poncho as I've said previously, even if I wanted to, I couldn't as I've dogs and have to contain them inside a bivvy, one of my dogs will and does escape so I have to use a groundsheet; too many times he's slipped out in the middle of the night with me having to search for him, that's all stopped with a groundsheet.

The carp Porter is defo not steel and if I'm wrong it the thinnest walled steel (cheapest) they could get their hands on maybe the rust is from the bolts and steel parts like the wheel assembly... ?
10L of water = 10kg... what crazy water are you taking with you
It's rated to 100kg its written on the box it's comes packaged in (metro barrow)
I've already outlined who would choose the Nash over the Carp Porter...
Nash metro = fox explorer type angler who has streamlined their gear
Carp Porter = kitchen sink / crazy physics breaking water hauls

If you re-read my post, I was referring to the Evo vs The 2021 Porter version and asking the question... why would you buy the Nash number, £50 difference and the Nash just isn't as powerful and can go as far as the Porter, or climb hills. Maybe people fishing canals, brand loyalty?
From what I can make out, the Porters main frame is made of steel, and the handles and folding side wings are ally.

Nash trax evo mk2 plus 2 extra wheels and a + 250watt DIY kit ore a Carp porter mk4s evo barrow + a +250w Diy kit,
which would be the best looking at the quality of material?

No brand loyalty here the Carp Porter is more powerful yes but that comes at the cost of it being heavier and no where near as compact and the setup and disassemble is lot longer than the Nash metro.
You already said your friend takes the same as you and your gears weight is more than 100kg, so you saying the Nash metro can't climb hills & is for canals is wrong 😑 when you've only seen it used over the stated capacity.
We fish a lake on are club that is one continuous steep hill about 1.5miles to the lake both barrows performed perfectly with it.

You say you have a power porter, but the photo in your post shows a Tri-porter and what looks like a power kit? Theres a bit of a difference size wise between a proper power porter and a tri-porter with a power kit.

My mate has a power Porter and I reckon you could use it as a scaffolding truck, it's huge!

I said similar, not the same as me. I've no idea weight wise other than guessing his stuff weighs less, could be wrong, might even take more, all the same, the Nash jobby failed, so he got one that could.

Yeah, it's the 1k one which I bought from Johnson Ross not a power kit. Can't remember if that foam bit came with it or was part of the handle upgrade for my old unpowered one which I put on the new one. My old one was a bulk standard MKII just with an upgraded handle and back wheels. The powered wheel won't fit on those types.
