I think for the design I've about decided on a four wheel dump cart. I've got a co-worker that has an old Dodge Omni in his back yard that I can strip for parts after I till his garden for the fall. Sounds like a fair trade for me. I get to play in the dirt in exchange for some good junk.
I looked it up on The Tire Rack and the Omni wheels are 4 lugs on a 4" circle. This just happens to be the standard trailer wheel lug pattern that I found on various trailer manufacturer sites.
I figure that I can take enough of the front hub mechanism to accomodate a steering system with tie rods to the tongue.
I'm also very seriously considering a winch dump mechanism rather than hydraulic. I've thrown that idea around in my head and the more I think about it the more I like it.
