[AT] HayWagon build up.

Never built one, but I've thought about it. Start with a hay rack type
frame. A car trailer needs a 100 horse tractor just to have the ability
to not lift the front end when (not if) everybody runs to the front.  If
possible put brakes on the wheels, though I haven't figured out how to
control them. 

Put flashing lights on the back. You don't want to get hit. 

If you have the money they make plastic deck rails that you can see
through, use that for the sires. Otherwise just a deck railing for
safety around. 

I have some ideas for a wheel chair lift connected to the hydraulic
system. This is tricky to rig up (safely), but it would be nice. Another
feature I haven't worked out. 

In various dreams I have a open roof frame with a ceiling fan. Others
the whole thing is enclosed and I run an air conditioner off the pto. 

If anyone has a large sum of money I'll build it otherwise it will stay
in my dreams. Maybe something in the list will strike you as useful.
