Todd: Wood is heavy frieght. Big item with a two wheeled trailer is get your load balanced right to give the ideal weight on drawbar for maximum pull, yet not go so heavy on drawbar as to lift front end of tractor. An ideal trailer for any tractor should have from 60% to 70% of deck between trailer axle and tractor. Notice I said deck, that doesn't include tongue. Unless you have 3 to 4 foot side boards the SA should handle 4x7 trailer just fine. A flat bottom stone boat is just a flat bottom sled. Now days they build them out of peice of 4'x 8' steel about 3/8" to 1/2" thick, turn it up on the ends and stifen it with angle iron welded on side. The angle creates a bit of a side board. They pulled these with a chain. They don't really serve a useful function anymore. Old timers called them a stone boat as they could roll stones on board that they couldn't lift. I wouldn't recomend it for hauling wood.
