kaiser 100 #1 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) hey all, happy spring! i had been looking for a decent sized trailer for my gt1600 and farmall cub to haul brush, kids, what-have-you. it's frustrating how small of a selection there is out there. not much more then a bunch of cheap 10 cubic footers and some over priced 20's. i had found a cool running gear set from northern tool and picked it up last fall. last weekend i got the lumber and built this 4x8 4 wheel wagon. the running gear is rated to 2200lbs. i have no idea what the finished weight is. lol it didn't take long to build, not too much $$ either. about 230 for the gear and another couple of hundo for the lumber/hardware. figured I'd share it with you good folks.

shallowwatersailor 3,214 #3 Posted May 5, 2015 Nice job! Did you make a metal frame or is it a wooden frame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaiser 100 #4 Posted May 5, 2015 the frame of the deck is all lumber. mounted to 2 4x4's (via hurricane straps) that bolt to the chassis. here's a link to the chassis / running gear: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_47661_47661 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coadster32 793 #5 Posted May 5, 2015 That thing is pretty sweet!! I've been thinking about something like this as well. I like the size changeability. Looks very well made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaiser 100 #6 Posted May 5, 2015 it's over built for sure, all pressure treated, 5/4 decking on the floor, but hey I don't want to build it again. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
