Bens vintage tractors 1,542 #1 Posted April 17, 2023 Picked up 2 4 wheel wagons this weekend. How many other people have these on here? 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,992 #2 Posted April 17, 2023 One is a nice find but two is even nicer... and lucky! Those wagons are pretty big so there aren't many around to begin with and probably the reason I didn't keep one. Made for a cool display towing it around with an RJ in it 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about asking him bring one to your house in Sept and we have a contest backing it up! Timed event, back it up in between some cones, $5 to enter and winner with the fastest time takes all. Or I can bring something for a prize for the winner instead of an entry fee (No practicing Ben!!!) Should be fun and funny too. No pressure with everyone watching and all the silly comments! Kind of like the entertainment at any local boat ramp! LoL Edited April 17, 2023 by wallfish 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #6 Posted April 17, 2023 Had one I bought at big show it was a nice original. Same reason as John they are huge and take a lot of space. Cool wagons tho! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always said bring a lawn chair after my boat was on the trailer and watch the fun begin at the ramp. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #9 Posted April 17, 2023 They are handy and hold quite a bit of material—should you actually choose to use them as I do. Mine is original but fairly rough and so I don’t mind occasionally using it around the yard. They are large and take up the same floor space as a smaller GT. I cheat that by removing my tailgate and standing mine vertically next to an outside wall. This enables me to take up only a 3’x2’ area of floor space (and I put a strap around it to the wall to ensure that it doesn’t tip over). They are cool wagons and not seen all too often… 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoL your backing up test reminds me of my son telling story of everyone at state police academy had to pass driving backward test at high speed through cones as one of requirments to graduate from state police academy -- they used runways from old retired closed military base ---- apparently some were entertaining. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #16 Posted April 17, 2023 Fit hitches to the back of each one. You can pull two at a time. Reversing would REALLY be fun. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
