we have a half acre that needs to be trimmed. what better lawn mower than my girls. how big should it be for 4 hens? i would like to be able to move it around easily as well. thanks for all your ideas. would love some pics.
 
I have a picture of mine on my BYC page. It's not pretty but it works. No wheels on it but we just pick it up from the top beam and move it when needed.
 
I don't have a chicken tractor myself, but here's some tractors that sound like the type of thing you are looking for(from the coop pages, if you've seen them already, I apologize):

https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=16313-monicas-chicken-house Here's a nice one.

Or, if you don't want an attached run, these two are nice: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=10091-The_Nags_Head

I had thought about turning this into a tractor https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=142032
but, decided on a nesting box. You could easily put chicken wire over the saw horse.
