Silage Wagon "People Mover"

Silage Wagon "People Mover" WAGONS/TRAILERS New Wagons 22-6-33 I built this "People Mover" for my neighbor, Paul Phillippi, so he could haul grandchildren, friends and hunters around his farm. I used an old 14-ft. silage wagon for the frame. I turned the rails inside out, made a 10-ft. frame for the box and bent the remainder of the frame into a 4-ft. long tongue. I used an axle off an old feeder wagon we had around and fitted it with old 15-in. tires. Our home-made pipe bender was used to make bench and side rails out of 1 1/2 in. tubing to which I added 1 1/2 in. green treated lumber. A rear gate was installed so anyone falling out wouldn't get run over. The wagon holds 10 adults. Paul pulls it with a 4-WD ATV or small tractor. He tells me it works out great.
