Ive been looking for one for awhile... Not wanting to shell out the $1100 Kory wants for their compact gear with no bed, I was set to take a 3 hours drive south to pick up an EZTrail 246 for $695. 2 ton gear, 46" wide at the wheels.
Then the Craigslist Gods shined down on me and I found this just an hour north of me... Paid $650 and put $150 into it for the new bed.
Its basically their 260 model, 2 ton, 60" wide at the wheels. Guy says he used it once, and its been sitting in his barn for 7 years. Tires still have the nubs and the oak hay rack was in very good condition.
So the kids and I took the hay rack apart and denailed all the wood.....
And that's what we ended up with. I extended the reach to its limit which was only 1 more hole on either end....
I wanted to reuse as much of the oak as I could, but there just wasn't enough substantial wood to make a solid yard wagon that could carry any sort of load. So 2 4x6x10' to make up the length of the bed and 5 4x4x6 for cross members and 2x6 for the deck.
I did repurpose some of the oak decking for the side boards and took the better of the 2x7x12 that made up the original runner and cut and ripped that down into 16 1.5x3" stakes and then tapered the ends to fit the bolt on stake pockets. Corner hardware and replaced the pin hitch with a 2" ball coupler....
