A few years back I stumbled across this light duty yard/garden wagon in a barn sale for next to nothing. It was in pieces, several bolts that hold the axles to the frames having broken from use on rough ground, I think. The tires were flat and a few of the side boards were missing, but all in all it was pretty much intact...the only part missing was a removable support frame from one side. It even is a tip bed, though I basically don't use that. I think it may have been an option to have a manual hydraulic cylinder to dump with, but this one doesn't have that.
I bolted it back together with grade 8 bolts and hefty washers/lock washers, spent a little bit at the tire shop getting the rusty rims to hold air, and put it to work on my 5 acres. I pull it behind my garden tractor.
This thing has saved me more labor around the property than almost any other tool I have. The pivoting front axle makes it very manueverable. I don't know how much weight it could carry, but I think the little tractor would give up before the wagon would. Several hundred pounds in firewood is no problem.
This past weekend I cut up some big old Doug fir limbs that last winter's heavy snows had broken out of some of my larger trees. DF limbwood on old open grown trees can get big, and it really makes great firewood, with very dense growth rings.
Here's a pic or two, just for fun

. He also has my trailer behind my 4 wheeler to use. I'll put up a few pix in the garden thread representing what he hauls in them
I have a cart similar with the pivoting tow bar and front wheels but not as nice as that. Really sweet. Great for moving fire wood about the yard. 
. And hey!...some of those were even six inches
