2x4 leggs = instant collaspe. Go heavy 2x6 or better yet 4x4 pressue treated for the leggs. 2x4 are fine for the deck frame and rail. make sure the leggs are dug in about 2 feet. Hum sounds like Jack's post.
In any event be careful. Another option might be a tri-pod stand similar to the ones that are used in Texas. I bet they would be for stable and if you get one with a swivel seat it would even be better. Plus its somewhat portable.

Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate drawing on others experience. I think I'll just upgrade to 4x4's from the start. I've been looking at the metal brackets available that hold the legs in place and have spaces for 2x6 cross beams for the floor deck. I think this would firm it up quite a bit.
I've considered the portable stands and may get one eventually. I'm in northern MN and I own some property and was thinking of one good permanent stand.
