This is the last one I built about 10 years ago.
It's 16' long and 8' wide. I used white oak for the main runners 5"x8" and used oak for the cross pieces 3"x4". All rough sawn. The floor is poplar 1 1/4" rough sawn lumber random width boards. Side rub rails are also white oak 2"x4" to make a lip so the bales stay on better on hill sides. We also do small square bales and this one has hauled 170 at a time. The reason we use poplar for the floor is because it is not slippery like oak and pine are.
I oiled it before using it, set it out in the sun so it soaked it up very well, done this one time.
I also have 3 other wagons built the same way and have had them for over 20 years, with beds on them that my dad and brother built before I got them. Keep them in a shed and out of the rain and they will last almost a life time.
