I've brought home several gears in the last ten years and you have some good advice here. Check the tires and bearings first. Used to be used tires were cheap but not so much now and a wagon is not a deal if the tires need replacing and a bearing going on the way home is not fun. The tongue issue is relative. Most of the really old gears will hunt if driven too fast on the road. If it is a distance and you want to drive speed limit then that is a problem. You can stop the weaving on most implements with a diagonal strap but on a wagon with a swinging tongue that is a problem also. Buy one close to home and drive slowly and you will get it home just fine. If it has implement tires they are not really rated for pave road/highway speed anyway. Something in the 20-30 mph range is as fast as we pull them. Make sure it is built properly. The best have two large lengthwise beams with heavy cross beams and 1" rough decking on that. Tongue and groove doesnt shed water and modern deck boards are slippery. Deck alone can cost most of $200 if done right so make sure it is right and solid.
