Last weekend I had 45 bags of mulch, topsoil and compost in the bed, pulling 4 bags at a time (160 lbs) to transfer to the wheelbarrow.
Would the v-gates support this, or would I have to take it off during these exercises?

Mine is plastic and will not support much weight. I change to my stock gate when the need arises. (not that often  )
