Is there any opportunity to re-grade the drive to shed more water before adding more porous rock or crushed concrete?
I'd be concerned about how the wagon will be loaded. Soybeans weigh about 1300 pounds per cubic yard, pure concrete will weigh at least 1.5 times that and any aggregates will be even heavier. Gravity boxes are build much lighter than most dump truck boxes, and the floor and sides of most dump boxes are pretty bowed and deformed. If a pay loader dumps too fast into the wagon, the impact could buckle the floor or bend out the side wall enough to jamb the door. I'd remove any box extensions to reduce the drop height and also to reduce the chances the wagon could be severely overloaded.
Concrete won't flow out as easily as soybeans or even wet corn. Maybe apply a new coat of a slick graphite paint inside the box, or at least in the corners.
