Where can I get the axles, frame, etc. to build one. I just want a small something to haul a few people mostly around the farm on.

You can get running gear from Kory or EZ-Trail and decent already assembled wagons from Country Manufacturing and Sawyer Brothers. Northern Tool and several other large retailers also sell light duty wagons and running gear. Do a search here on TBN and you will see what others have done.

Several dealers here on TBN sell Kory equipment, Sweet Tractors being one of them.

E-Z Trail Wagons

Here's a Kory that I have about $800 in counting the treated lumber and all the bolts and hardware.

That's nice looking. Are you looking to sell it? Either way, what size Kory frame is that. Looks like about what I want.

I'm not trying to sell it, just to give you an idea of size and $'s. It's the Kory 3000 and the bed is 55"X109". The link to the EZ Trail has one about the same size.

Well, I liked yours so I went ahead and ordered an EX-trail of the same size. I don't need a real big one. Mostly just to have hayrides for a few people and yard cleanup. Thanks for all your help.

Depending on your use you should make sure that you understand which tires and wheels you are getting with the E-Z Trail.

The tires that come stock with the small E-Z Trail are not as wide/large as the tires that come with the Kory Model 3000 - even though the E-Z Trail is rated at a 1000 lbs more capacity.

The E-Z Trail comes with tires that have a 6.5 inch width, while the Kory's are 8.5 inches wide and are high-flotation turf tires. Depending on the terrain and conditions you are operating in this might, or might not be important.

E-Z Trail does offer optional tires and wheels that are larger - larger in fact than the ones Kory offers as stock on their gear.

Don't ask how I know this. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Not sure how close you are to MD.. but there is a 16 foot haywagon in the local paper for $350.. not sure what shape it's in.

I extended the frame 6" on mine by drilling another hole in the coupling pole, because I wanted the bed 9' long and I didn't want much overhang because I modified and installed a loadhandler that goes in a full size pickup to make it easy to unload rock, dirt and wood, works like a charm, can unload rock with one hand.
