Hey folks,
Looking for advice on a powered wheelbarrow, I've built an electric barrow previously, but for 8hrs+ use the batteries would be enormous, so switching over to engines.
The torque of a small diesel is appealing in hauling heavy loads uphill. Alibaba has reasonably priced ones, not sure of quality.

Would an equivalent 200cc petrol engine be able to haul 120kg+ load up a steep incline?
Would a torque convertor be an absolute necessity for either engine to operate at walking pace, even with gear reduction?
Cheers.
