ive had this idea in my head for quite awhile and finally got all the mechanics of it right. its a 4 wheel steer wagon, im gonna put a flat bed on it kinda like a hay wagon. i pulled it around the yard a bit and was quite surprised how tight of a corner you can turn with it. i made it out of 2 wheel horse frames welding the trans plates together and linked the steering with a piece of black pipe.

Its a great Idea! Can't wait to see how you'll hook up the 4 wheel stearing!

Theres going to be one serious learning curve trying to back that in the barn. I can see that thing turning around and kissing its own a$$. Nice project though if nothing else it uses common leftovers.

We have a 4 wheel steering wagon on our farm and had one were I worked. Its is a pain but really once you learn it you can maneuver them into places you couldn't on a regular wagon. trick is slow slow slow and slow, and watch the back wheels and forget about the front.

Would be cool to make a tractor do that too.

What a great use of old parted out tractor parts. I like it and its got me thinking that trailer should follow the tractor like train cars. Might be nice at the shows with tight spots and narrow passages between rows. :thumbs: :thumbs:

wh-jason the 4 wheel steer is already hooked up in the photo he ran a piece of black pipe from one front end to the other where the steereing shaft would have been so when one front turns one way the other turns opposite. love seeing parts reused instead of hauled off to the scrap yard.

That would make a great low profile trac-vac trailer. You could hinge the hole side and all the vac'd up stuff should fall out.

Jason,

Do you attend the big Wheel Horse show in June, if so I would take that along.

I think you'd be very popular towards the end of the day! :thumbs:

got it all together tonite and pulled it down the road with the golf cart to see how it did at higher speeds, pulls real nice around 25 mph. then i put the 702 up on it and pulled it around with the workhorse 700 just for fun.

I luv it....great use of spare parts.  I see you have welded the front axle to the frame to stabilize the bed.  Is the back axle free to float for uneven terrain ?
