High Wind Damage - Flipped Hay Kicker Wagon

[Bill VA]

The mountains around our farm either shield us form wind and rain, but if the direction changes, we get slammed. Yesterday, one of our hay kicker wagons took it on the chin.

Video shows the damage up close.

That wagon is all board & no weight. My wagon that is made with 2x wood for the sides doesn't go far in the wind. The red one that is 1x usually gets staked if there's a big wind coming.

Makes it easier to grease like that no crawling under for it. Less work to get the hay out too.

Good no one was hurt. Local restaurant had about a dozen of those tall patio heaters blow over. They were pretty bashed up where the big metal hat on top disperses the heat. Can probably be repaired if anyone wants to spend some time on them.
