Looking at getting a new barrow.
The ones that look most suitable, on my U.S. vendor's site, are the Nash Trax Metro, Trakker X Trail Compact, Fox Explorer and Explorer Deluxe .
I think I am most drawn to the Trakker, mainly because of the adjustable height handles, although I do like the idea of the handle cross brace on the Nash.
Bag wise, they all look fairly similar, any of them particularly stand out ?
As always, I have to buy sight unseen, so any feedback on the above barrows would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.....

Avid extreme v good. Like the storage and slide out option. Easy to push too.

If you like fishing off your barrow the Fox Explorer Deluxe is a great barrow well thought out good balance great storage
HOWEVER the arms require a modification
a cross brace or at least a ratchet strap across them
as they are like elastic with a heavy load other than that they are brilliant barrow IMO
its what I use and trust me I have owned and used most carp barrows over the past 50 odd years

The new Fox barrow might be worth waiting for,they've sorted the handles out.As Gerry says the Fox barrow is very good,I had the deluxe since release and it was superb

Agree on the deluxe. the under barrow storage is excellent, I bought 2 of the standard bags (one cool bag for food and one normal for brew kit) plus a large cool bag that I use for clothes. Works really well and folds down small if needed.
Oh and handle issue seems to have been fixed on the new version just released that has a cross brace.

The new barrow is called the FOX TRANSPORTER BARROW
a lot of money for a non motorised barrow IMHO
I sorted my Fox Explorer deluxe barrows handle out then added a Global Angling motor kit and rear wheels and cant see the new barrow offering any significant improvements for ME
I like the width etc drives in the back of my car with still good room next to it

Yeah, it does look good. Not available from my usual US vendor, but I will ask if they will be getting it in.
If not, the Trakker might be the one.
They did have the Avid, but sold out .
I would order from Blighty, but shipping is a killer on the larger items.
Thanks for the feedback.
