      I have been to Slovakia and never heard anything like that (wheelbarrows or tractors). How common is it?

      Czechs say wheelbarrows too, specifically the open ones that cannot carry liquids without loading them with buckets. In fact, our way of saying them (trakař) is easier to confuse with Tracker (German for tractor) than the Slovak tragáč, the latter coming clearly from German tragen (carry). Not to be confused with the more common sheet metal wheelbarow, which is kolečko (Bohemian) / tůčko (Moravian) / fúrik (Slovak).
