I think that is what total tools sell locally. I might have a to buy a medium sized one. small, medium and large would probably be best.... but very spendy.Now you know why my mine "walked"
S-P stuff is well made.
As the size increases, so does the price. A cheaper option, but not cheap, is Toledo https://www.toolmart.com.au/toledo-224060.html

I have just been googling wheelbarrows too. My old wheelbarrow eventually rotted away (it must be 20years old) so I borrowed my parents (and broke its tub), so I purchased a cheapy at bunnings .... and punched the shovel straight through the side the first time I used it.... sigh ... that has split down the full length of it.
i figured ... bugger, lets find an aussie made barrow and get another 20years out of one. You know, it looks like only Moss and Daytek are still aussie made, so obviously no-one stocks them ..... why on earth doesn't bunnings and mitre 10 stock there full range with huge AUSSIE MADE signs above them
Are there still any good secondhand tool shops about, other than the auction houses ?, there used to be a good one in Essendon years ago, but long gone, I bought several expanding reamers from there and spare cutting blades at a reasonable price. Roger your local S/H dealer site had some good stuff when we last visited, but I just didn't need the stuff on offer.Yes, buy your Sykes-Pickavant pullers secondhand. That's what I did.

I've never seen that "I"beam type of puller before. That is a very smart design! Here's the toledo version.Or try to find the screw (non hydraulic) version of that. Others make stuff like that, not only Sikes Pickavant, but similar quality is similar price.
That said, you could make yourself a puller, trick is to get some good quality steel and have it machined by a good machine shop. The legs and the beam are most important, the rest (screw/nut) is okay to replace with high tensile steel and when it fails, just replace.
I have some of these :

Not cheap, not top quality, okay for my use. Cast steel beam and legs. Sikes Pickavant and the like are made of perhaps O2 tool steel or similar and heat treated. All of that cost real money. If it matters, they're just as expensive in Sweden where they're made.
Avoid the three legged ones like that linked by seasink like the plague. The legs slip out, because they are articulated and there's nothing to keep them in. A beam-type does not allow the legs to move after you set the opening. You can also get a knife edge type puller but they are more restrictive because they need more room around the bearing to be pulled out. They are indispensable when there's too little clearance under the bearing to use the beam puller legs. They are excellent if you have a hydraulic floor press and all you want is to get bearings off shafts you can pull out of their assembly.

I can see the issue is where the "thing" your trying to pull maybe wider than area you pull from (ie: it can't spread its legs out and around anything in the way).
