Ringwood, IL (NEIL) | It was a fun project. We both learned a lot by doing it. From design to engineering to hands on building. It was 100% steel. No wood. Never sat out when we had it but doesn't get shredded nearly as much with the current owner. No cracks in the welding and boy was there a lot of welding that went with building that thing. The whole wagon was built in the similar fashion as a normal wagon except each aspect was heavier, thicker, etc. with really added up weight-wise. We put way too much money into building it. Like many people, when ou get an idea you tend to think you can build something cheaper than you can buy it but things add up quickly. I'll put it this way. We sold it for $8k and still lost a couple thousand on it. Ouch. It sure was the talk of the town though. I have one pic of the fabrication process. I'll post it tomorrow if I can find it. | |

Did we build the worlds largest basket kicker hay wagon?
