Two-wheeled manual trolley for garden and countryside DIY use

Hi, in a garden I own, located in an inaccessible area, out of the way and without a fence, I would have to move some large stones weighing 80 kg each. I can't leave tools and it would be uneconomical for me to bring agricultural machinery. I wouldn't know how to load the wheelbarrow.
I had the idea of making a 2-wheel trolley and a pallet with waste material, it must be compact in size, I would have to carry it in the bonnet of a small car or a fiesta. How should I make it happen? instead of the classic pressed sheet metal pallet I thought of creating a sort of fork like the tusks of the forklift to impale the stones, since they are irregular in shape what do you think, how would you do it thanks regards

Can't see your whole picture.
Are you trying to make something like a hand truck? There's several variations but this is the basic idea.
Even a cheap one is rated for around 600 pounds.

They also make folding ones but they can't haul as much. 80kg is about the rated limit.

Can't see all of your picture.

Bigger wheels make things roll better on soft and uneven ground.
I use a simple dolly in my yard like BCZOOM posted but mine has some larger than stock tires/wheels on it. The wheels are available at all sorts of places like Northern Tool, Menards, Harbor Freight, etc

the stones are heavy I managed to move them with a steel bar with wooden planks underneath as a ramp
