What does your Horse haul?

Recommended Posts

Im contemplating building a mini hay wagon.  Do any of you have any unique wagons or trailers that you pull?  Any people movers, flat decks, etc?  Please post pics of what you use.

I have thought of taking to WH frames with the front axles and bolting them together at the trans plates. Welding the steering straight at one axle and rigging up a tow bar steering mechanism on the other. Then making a mini hay wagon. Just never got serious about it.

We use ours for moving wood and sand/stone/dirt around with a couple different trailers. 

Nothing super unusual except maybe the terrain we have. VERY rough.

I've always liked the idea of a haywagon like Mike mentioned.  Never built one because I like having the weight of the front of the trailer on the puller tractor.

Hmmm. Hey @SylvanLakeWH, if you took @squonk's idea and left the "rear" steering active and you could make a hook and ladder-style trailer for you train!

This is quite cool! I was thinking, though, that the passenger would have steering control of the tail wheels, says the kid in me! :rolleyes:

That would make an awesome mini haywagon.

We live on very flat terrain, so we dare to tow some heavier stuff. 

 

(Maybe gonna make me a trailer for my horse with trailer brakes as brakes are the weak point on a WH when towing)

You can always apologize after--unless it turns out she wants a turn in "ladder" seat!

My C105 enjoys hauling kids and adults around as the main engine for the SL&WHN RR…

If you build a 4 wheel hay wagon you had better make sure you build a front mount hitch if you ever plan on backing it int a tight space.  Backing a 4 wheel wagon is a skill set I do not have......

I can't turn my head very far to the left. Can't see much out of my right eye. I'm lucky I can back my truck! :eusa-pray:

I hear that. It took me weeks to get good enough at 2-wheelers to park my boat in one shot. Then I have to learn again next year!

38" wide and 7 ft. long. I used the axle and front wheels of an old Murry. The rear is a piece of 8" Jr I beam with a 3/4" pipe amd 3/4" bar with Wheel Horse front wheels. The frame is metal building brace angles with 1 1/2" pipe.

I keep it inside the wood bed would rot down in a couple of years. It's just junk thrown together.

      We put on a big October fest at my cousins every year. Lots of family and friends, and now lots of kids. Tons of food, bobbing for apples all that stuff. And a hay ride. Started small 5 years ago when I had a simplicity broadmoor lawn tractor pulling a little dump cart. Kids loved it. This year the party got bigger so I had to as well. Planned on pulling my utility trailer (4'x7') made a couple quick benches for it. I was concerned if all the kids were at rear of trailer it might lift the rear of tractor so I put the cast iron in the wheels (painted them red too). Then I thought the toungue load might lift the front! So I made a weight bar for the front. Bolted to the frame, held 2 44lb weights.
      Well it all worked great. Pulled the trailer with kids and adults like it wasn't there. Every one had fun and nothing broke!
      put a pic of my tow vehicle in too
