Living on an acreage I find myself using long hoses around the place for watering, washing, animals, etc.
I have a 70m length of 18mm garden hose which due to its size/weight is a pain to move around. For the last couple of years I've had it on a hose trolley the same as the attached picture. It has done the job but is now leaking badly form the swivel connection and my repairs have been unsuccessful. The quality of the metal used for this trolley (particularly the swivel) is rather poor and as you can image there's plenty of rust.
Has anyone got any thoughts or experience on a replacement hose reel cart or trolley to hold 70m of 18mm hose? There doesn't seem to be much around other than the type I already have and I didn't want to spend money buying a replacement to have it fail again in a couple of years.
