why it requires greater force to push a wheelbarrow loaded with soil compared to an empty wheelbarrow

Since the wheelbarrow is filled with soil, that adds more weight to it. Which means you would need to use more strength/force.
When the wheelbarrow is empty, it has less weight so you would use less force.
