Additional Guidelines and Recommendations

  • If the wagon is pulled by a tractor, railings are especially sturdy in the front of the wagon to prevent riders from falling forward.
  • The wagon should be checked before and after each use for loose boards, sharp edges, exposed screws or nails that are sticking up. Any hazards identified are addressed before guests are allowed on the wagon.
  • If a tractor is used to pull a hayride, the tractor must weigh more that the gross weight of the wagon. This is necessary for adequate traction and braking.
  • Inspect tractors and hay wagons for safe and efficient operation prior to each use.
