4-wheel wagon

Davee · Jan 31, 2012

Thanks for the great responses! I am looking for a four wheeled unit so that I can uncouple and let it sit on site. I searched the web but hadn't found the Farm Tuff trailer which does look ideal. The ATV until with a castor wheel should work as well. I'll have to look further into both of them.

Bienvenue sur le site de M騁avic Make the trailers and loaders but the above company distributes them.

These guys sell a Metavic unit that might be worth a look.
Very versatile with options.

They have units you can pull with a Quad, small tractor up to a 5th wheeler.

Web site is being updated but Mike Miller (1 888 821 2015) would be happy to send you a brochure with prices. He's the guy I dealt with.

I wonder how many pumps are required to dump a load?

I have two of these on 7.5 acres. They work awesome. I made the bed with 3/4 green treated plywood. The only downside is the articulation in the frame. I couldn't figure out how to mount the rigid wooden frame to the steel articulating one. Not a huge problem for me as my property is mostly flat. You can even "train" these wagons together. Perfect for the kids.

It's like an old time hay wagon. You run two large beams front to back, lagged to the frame. Then you cross that with 2x4 stringers. Finally you run one by floor decking front to back nailed to the two by fours. At least thats what we did when i was a kid.

And to allow for the wagon to 'articulate' in the middle, only connect the beams at opposite corners.

I made my deck's "sub frame" with 2x6 and lagged in the corners but the articulartion from the steel frame fights the stiffness of the wood, doesn't work, something has to give. The solution would be to cut the deck in half at the center, so essentially the the deck could articulate. But the problem with that is then it might be dangerous for the kids if they slip a finger, hand or foot in the crack during articulation.

Other then the stated problem they work great. Another bonus is bc they are not too heavy I can lift the wagons with the forks to load them on a trailer for long distance travel if needed.
