Stubbs® Wheelbarrows

Stubbs wheelbarrows are the industry standard on equestrian yards across the UK and beyond. Designed and manufactured by Stubbs England — a trusted British brand with over 40 years of heritage — this range of muck barrows combines exceptional durability with surprisingly lightweight handling, making mucking out, poo picking, and general yard work faster and easier.

From the iconic Stubby Barrow with its tough STUBBYTHENE body to the professional-grade Large Stable Barrow in robust enamelled steel, the Stubbs wheelbarrow range offers a solution for every yard size and workload. All models feature galvanised steel frames and large pneumatic tyred wheels for smooth manoeuvrability, even on uneven ground.

Why Stubbs Wheelbarrows Are the Yard Professional's Choice

Ask any experienced yard manager or equestrian professional what wheelbarrow they rely on, and the answer is often the same: Stubbs. There's a good reason these barrows have been the go-to choice on yards for decades. They're engineered to handle the tough daily demands of mucking out — from heavy wet bedding and soiled shavings to bulky bales of hay and straw — without weighing you down in the process.

The secret lies in the balance. Stubbs wheelbarrows are designed to feel startlingly light when loaded, thanks to carefully considered weight distribution and ergonomic handle positioning. Combined with large 40cm four-ply pneumatic tyred wheels, they glide over concrete, rubber matting, and uneven ground with minimal effort.

The Stubbs Wheelbarrow Range

Stubbs offers several wheelbarrow models to suit different yard requirements:

The Stubby Barrow is the versatile all-rounder. Its STUBBYTHENE moulded body features stepped sides for immense strength and enormous capacity (210 litres dry), while the galvanised steel frame assembles quickly with just six bolts. Available in a range of colours including Blue, Green, and Pink, it's light, well balanced, and easy to tip. Dimensions: 182cm (L) x 86cm (W) x 82cm (H), weighing just 31kg.

The Large Stable Barrow is the heavyweight performer, favoured by professional yards for over 40 years. With a robust enamelled steel construction and a generous 310-litre capacity, it handles the biggest mucking out jobs with ease. Fitted with large 40cm pneumatic tyred wheels, it measures 198cm (L) x 86cm (W) x 99cm (H) at 54kg. Replacement bodies are also available, extending the working life of your barrow even further.

Additional models in the range include the Stubby Star, Stubby Shifter, Cheeky Barrow, and the Manure Basket Trolley — each designed for specific yard tasks and preferences.

Built to Last in Demanding Environments

Horse manure and urine are corrosive to standard metal wheelbarrows, causing rust and structural failure over time. Stubbs addresses this with two approaches: the STUBBYTHENE moulded bodies (on models like the Stubby Barrow) are completely immune to these corrosive effects, while the steel-bodied Large Stable Barrow uses a hard-wearing enamel finish for long-term protection. All frames are galvanised for additional rust resistance.

Stubbs recommends keeping pneumatic tyres inflated to around 28–30 psi (2 bar) to minimise the risk of punctures and ensure the smoothest possible ride.

Ideal For

• Daily mucking out of stables and loose boxes
• Poo picking paddocks and turnout areas
• Transporting hay, straw, haylage, and bedding
• Moving feed sacks, yard equipment, and general supplies
• Garden clearance and landscaping tasks
• Livery yards, riding schools, studs, and racing yards

Replacement Parts and Accessories

One of the advantages of choosing a Stubbs wheelbarrow is the availability of replacement parts. Spare bodies, wheels, and components can be sourced to keep your barrow in service for years, making Stubbs a cost-effective long-term investment rather than a disposable purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Stubbs wheelbarrow for mucking out? For most yards, the Stubby Barrow offers the ideal combination of capacity (210 litres), lightweight handling (31kg), and durability. For larger operations or heavier loads, the Large Stable Barrow provides 310 litres of capacity in a robust steel construction.

Are Stubbs wheelbarrows easy to assemble? Yes. The Stubby Barrow, for example, assembles with just six bolts using 17mm spanners. It arrives flat-packed with handles, legs, and wheels inside the shrink-wrapped body, making setup quick and straightforward.

What type of wheels do Stubbs wheelbarrows use? All Stubbs muck barrows are fitted with large 40cm (approximately 16-inch) four-ply pneumatic tyred wheels. These provide a smooth, stable ride across varied yard surfaces including concrete, rubber matting, gravel, and grass.

How do I prevent punctures on my Stubbs wheelbarrow? Stubbs recommends keeping tyres properly inflated at around 28–30 psi (2 bar). Well-inflated tyres are significantly less prone to punctures and provide better handling.

Can I buy replacement parts for Stubbs wheelbarrows? Yes. Replacement bodies, wheels, and other components are available for Stubbs wheelbarrows, allowing you to extend the working life of your barrow without replacing the entire unit. Contact Hall-Fast for availability and pricing.

Are Stubbs wheelbarrows suitable for use with horses? Absolutely. Stubbs wheelbarrows are specifically designed for equestrian use. The STUBBYTHENE bodies on models like the Stubby Barrow are resistant to the corrosive effects of horse manure and urine, which can degrade standard metal wheelbarrows over time.

What colours are Stubbs wheelbarrows available in? The Stubby Barrow is available in Blue, Green, and Pink. The Large Stable Barrow is available in Dark Green and Blue enamelled finishes. Availability may vary, so please check with Hall-Fast for current stock.
