Well it is my turn and I've decided to go the engineered route to size the main beams. The design bending strength formula you need is (WxL)/(8xZ) to determine the material/dimensions. W is the load you want to carry L is the span in inches Z is the section modulus of the lumber cross section
For example, I am going to use spruce 2x8's which have a section modulus of 13.1 cubic inches. I want to match the capacity of my 3-ton chassis using a 10 ft (120 inch) span. This gives me a design bending strength of 6870 psi.
2x8 #2 spruce has a bending strength of 1050 psi (neglecting adjustment factors) so I'm going to need a total of at least 6 boards.
Reworking the formula for 6 boards (3 per beam) gives me a final capacity of 5502 lb between the front and rear axles.
Then I'm just going to run decking perpendicular to the beams and skirt around with 2x4 to keep them even.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
