How much must a wagon bed extend over the front wheels of the wagon so as not to catch the corner of the bed with the rear tires of the tractor when turning or backing ? Should the length of the tongue be considered? The bed is 8 feet widex 16 feet long. Thanks for any and all advice.

18" from center of the front axle to front of the runner; 48" from center of rear axle to rear of runner.

Assumes a 'normal' commercial running gear.

the length of the tounge is your main concern. My hay rack is just about even with the front of the tires. But when I put on my steel bale rack it is about two feet ahead of the tires and a full ten fet wide and I have to be careful when I turn. I don't think an 8 foot wide rack would bother unless your tounge is extreamly short.

I use an old cotton trailer and had replaced the bed with the original length and width. Have had plenty of room when turning over the years using several tractors.

I would suggest you hook up the bare trailer running gear to a tractor that you feel will be pulling it and make some sharp turns and stop while in the turn stop the tractor and measure about a 2 feet back from the rear point of where the tire is closest to your trailer. And then make this the distance you want to keep when building your new bed. Just a suggestion.

By the way our old cotton trailer is retired to occasional use mainly as a hay ride trailer. And I have a rule that knows one sits close to the front of the trailer. My dad bought it when I was about 5. And now I am 52. So it has held up well for almost 50 years.

What part of the world are you in?? Some places in the South, farmers have gone to mostly modules and the back lot at the gin is full of old trailers..... .
