Remember, Nexendia's Mule is helping to move the wagon.  

I did a quick search for the weight of Wagons while at work but I could only find a 2 wheel wagon.

So how much did these wagons weigh when empty? Lefebvre des Noëttes stated that the wagons were light and never exceeded 200 kg. empty52. Of course now we know that like so many statements he made that this is not true either. Using the iconography as a guide several scholars have attempted to estimate the empty weight of Roman wagons. A minimal approximation for the cisium of Igel is on the order of 250-300 kg. and a half tonne (500 kg.) for larger wagons. Michel Molin made an extensive study of the large wagon at Langres (See Fig. 24). His calculations led him to conclude that the wagon when full weighed about 800 kg. (500 kg, empty) and that the wagon itself was capable of carrying loads of one and half tonnes.

So a large two wheel wagon weighs 500kg or 1102.31 pounds.  So it could be up to 2000 pounds or more for a large 4 wheel wagon.
