I am a farm boy myself and the wagon idea is great for low speeds! I have used this to move the sub in and out of my shop as the widest doors are 14 feet and the sub is 18 feet or so. Unless you have an exceptionally good wagon they will not tow good at above 30 MPH.

I've been making some progress on my trailer ! ( a necessity this

two axils - four wheels) and then I found an old rear end from a Chevy and
made a pivot plate arrangement which I welded up to a standard trailer ball
type hitch. It's very nice because there is absolutely no weight to speak
of on the ball. This will probably be for just moving around my shop area
but it could possibly be used for the road. Searching the internet I found
some examples of this type of set up - but not many. Since you have two
pivot points backing up would be challenging. Most "wagon" type trailers
you see on farms. But I did read some accounts of people who have used
them. One person said that you could have a "wandering" problem at higher
speeds.
