The balloon in the Lockhart crash was 300,000 cu feet. The basket was a very large 4 partition basket. Up to 4 passengers in each corner compartment of the rectangle with the pilot and fuel tanks in the center compartment. I'd estimate that basket was about 5'X12'. We sport/casual pilots call them "cattle cars". My balloon is only 90,000 cu feet and my basket is 42" by 58".
Normal hot air balloons would max out about 20,000 feet, maybe a bit higher. Going over 12,500 requires oxygen and above 18,000 is Class A airspace and requires a waiver/special permission from the FAA to go there. Normally balloons flown for fun stay within a few thousand feet of the ground.

The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
