as RG asked,

1st off what do you have to tow them with? smaller tow vehicle/tractor = smaller wagons

those big boxes are nice but not made to go behind a pickup of any type, at least not wagons without its own brake system.

I've pulled 2 big boxes loaded with corn with a 5288 IH. plenty of power (flat ground) but not enough brakes. have to slow way down before stop signs.

if you only have a pickup you should stick with the smaller boxes. or look for a low $ older grain truck .. ya there are other issues to watch with those depending on the age and care to but they were made to haul and drive down the road.

If i was just starting out i would go small and cheap for a year or 2 and keep my eyes open for bigger & better as i banked more $. This is not a good time of the year for bargins heading into harvest time.

Good luck. post pictures of your harvest.

where I grew up almost no one even owned gravity boxes let alone haul grain on the road with them. everyone used grain trucks.
