DRankin, thanks for the info. It looks like a pretty adaptable unit. While I'm not in the market for something like this right now, a co-worker is. I just emailed him the web link. ....

I was in the process of trying to cobble something together too..... just makes more sense to spend my time elsewhere at that price.
Did you download the specs? Looks pretty solid. ....

I'm not in the market for a hay wagon, but some of the other things they have for sale are very reasonably priced. Thanks for the link. ....

I bought the cheaper Northern Tool wagaon about three years ago. Yes, it is cheaper but the quality reflect the lower price. The tie rod linkage is rather sloppy so backing up the wagaon is more difficult as it tends to wander too much. The tires are smaller on the Northern wagon and even though they rate it at 2200# I doubt it would carry it. I probably put half of that in some dry pine firewood and bent the tie rod when I made a turn.
If you are looking for a real inexpensive unit to be used more as a lawn cart I think they work fine. But if your goal is some heavy duty use the Kory wagon is much superior in my opinion ....

The Kory is a very heavy duty outfit. I am using it to haul a 225 gallon water tank (nearly 2000 pounds) up and down my hills.
The hubs use automotive type tapered bearings instead of the greased bronze bushings you will find on the Northern wagon.
The tires are highway rated load range C trailer service rated rather than the low speed turf types found elsewhere.
I am quite pleased with the purchase at this point..... especially since they sell elsewhere for $800-900 + shipping. ....
