Awesome wagons! Setup nice! Glad to see you cemented your barn floor as well, smart investments! I always enjoy watching your channel and seeing what ideas you come up with. Hopefully hay season will be very prosperous for you this year!
Woo! First comment! That barn turned out nice! Going to be nice for clean ups and dust control. That 1025r will be perfect for that. I wonder if you could make a "non rotary" broom attachment for it. Like a big push broom for pushing. Anyways keep them coming!
Always nice to take the time to build things the way you need. The time spent to do it right , pays a person back many times over One thing to consider. Maybe some reflectors on the corners front and back I don't think it would hurt I'm building 2 new waging decks right now like the idea of the back rack with the horizontal boards behind the uprights ,I also use a accumulator and will be changing all my back racks
Marvelous idea. - I am needing to rebuild my Grandad's old Montgomery Ward wagon. I redecked in 1980. Looks like it will cost me about 4-6x what it cost then to build.
Thanks for sharing this Dennis, definitely got some great ideas for building some 24’ racks on a couple tandem gears. I was wondering though width 6” channel you used for the runners?
How do you get your pallets. do you make them or do you find them somewhere. they look wider then the ones i get around here. also do you have a supply for a full years worth of hay? we use them to sit round bail hay on and ours are stored outside and sit on the ground alot and they only last 2 years or so. If i was you i would store them inside they will last a lot longer.
I’ll never understand how you guys are allowed to use those speed hitches but your not allowed to use a pick-up hitch like what we have in Ireland and the uk 🤔
Now that's a nice floor in the shed well done on that upgrade 👏 👍. Trailers looking good also 👍. Don't use many turntable Trailers over . Stay safe 🏴
Very good wagon construction......We have learned with just one cutting using the Bale Baron......That the less the bundles are handled the better .We have decided for the time being to run the round balers in the field and use the Baron as a stationary unit.... That way the bundle is handled only one time after exiting the Baron.. Presents a neater package to the feed store a owner who is reselling the bales.... Plus the round bales are easier to transport
wow when my uncle came home with one like that but that one had a rim from a 1-ton truck and the tires were too truck tires he did not have trouble pulling it home too with those tires too i was young when we got it too
Speed hitch amazing total understatement! 18 minutes and 52 seconds of NO bulldusting practicality. I sincerely enjoyed. And appreciate brains. How many bales high is the on-pallet stacking to maintain unsecured stability in transit? 7-8? Many thanks! 8 Or 10,000 miles off. RSA.
We always called those kingpin wagons and I wouldn't have changed the frame because (a) that's more work and expense (b) it doesn't make it that much higher (c) it was your granddad's wagon so leave it the way he made it.
Hello Dennis nice work they look great. To me that style is not stable though I would not want one. But I understand that your grandfathers and if my grandfather owned one and I could have I'd be right there to own one. The tie rod better for me. I have bad memories of car tire wagons maybe because it was me that was constantly changing them and we didnt have tire machine,good old manual labor lol. Mind you still dont have tire machine and still do by hand today. Have a great day.
We used two 20 ft pieces of 6 inch channel for them frame rails. The chassis is the 5th wheel type and was made by Big Blue but I also have a couple Massey Ferguson ones that are fifth wheel also. We had to repair the chassis extensively because good ones are hard to find.
Man them are some super nice wagons, I like the speed hitches and the 20 ft lengths. That way of putting the boards on was an ingenious idea. Great video all atound
Your well set up now Dennis for getting your bails in, you've made a great job of them all , with your pallets and new hitches should be alot easier and faster for you. Over here in the UK we are alot different we have the tractor hitches that work well, and trailers nearly all just have rear axles some have even three axles with lights and trailer brakes . looking forward to more of your videos Do you watch any UK farming videos?

Your wagons are very brilliant. You’ve save yourself a lot of time and getting closer to a totally one man operation. The Bergman hitch is slick also. Waiting on the rain to stop here in southern Indiana. All my fields are ready just waiting on the weather to break. I assume your dealing with the rain also.
@@DLHFarms thanks. I’m about to restore one that was given to me. They have the floor boards ran front to back. I want to run mine side to side like yours and run a board from front to back on the edge. I will be hauling 4x5 round bales only. Is there a reason you have a spacing between your 2x8’s ? I’m asking because I’m learning.
Years ago I saw a young fella pulling a tie rod trailer with tobacco on it and he was going way to fast. That thing hit a bump and it started flailing side to side and tobacco went everywhere. I bet he wasn't allowed to pull the trailer anymore. I really like that hitch system.
Dennis love the wagons, we will copy your ideas. I have a question on pallets. What size are you going to use, and are you going to ship to your large customers on pallets?
Nice wagons Denis. I wonder if the synthetic wood for the fake decking wood that they use, I wonder how it would work on a hay wagon, you never have to stain it you never have to do anything to it and it doesn't dry out and get rotted. I think I'm going to ask one of my neighbors who has a few hate wagons I'm going to ask him if he wants to do an experiment and use that kind of synthetic wood on making a wagon
Wow Your wife purchased the Family wagon for you. "She's a keeper" The only wagon my wife gave me was a garbage can wagon. when to heavy to unload I just leave them and the trash man picks them up and put's them back in the wagon. Your wagon's make you Money My wagon cost me Money.
