I was going to keep my mouth shut, but since BF has raised it, I had a thought along the same lines- the wheels need to be closer in under the tub so that when you tip, the weight in the front of the barrow is assisting you. As it is, you will be lifting the entire weight through the whole tipping action. Also, when you load heavy items, you put them in the front of the barrow and the wheel carries the weight rather than the handles. Moving the axle rearward will address all of these things.
I've never had horses but I spent about 5 years as a bricklayer. I reckon I know about wheelbarrows!
Very nice job by the way, I especially like the towing system.
