A two-wheeled convertible barrow vehicle adapted to, on one hand, be used in a conventional wheelbarrow manually operated fashion and, on the other hand, converted to and used as a trailer hitched to a power-operated vehicle. Conversion is achieved by the use of elements secured in brackets having bent portions which when secured on the frame of the barrow in one relationship provide diverging arms for manual operation, and when switched in the brackets result in a converging arrangement to provide a tow bar to be hitched to a power vehicle. The vehicle can be stored in a vertical position with the arms tucked underneath. The barrow of the vehicle can be selectively dumped with respect to the frame, or dumped in the usual wheelbarrow tilting arrangement.
