Congratulations, Gary! The H is a wonderful machine.

As stated earlier, they weigh around 3500 pounds (more like 4000 with fluid filled tires or wheel weights), and can be a little top heavy up front especially, so chain it well. If it's a narrow front, be prepared with an extra ramp, perhaps. When trailering for that distance, you may want to remove the air filter cap, just to be safe. Just change the filter oil when you arrive. You may even want to remove the muffler (it sticks up pretty far on a trailer) and cap the exhaust manifold. Most importantly, depending on the width of your trailer, you may need to adjust the rear wheel spread (it could be 8 feet or more). If so, be prepared with a 3/4 inch socket set and a long cheater bar, those wheel locknuts can be a bear. Also a 2 ton hydraulic jack and some tall blocking to get it up. It takes 2 people to budge the rear wheels (especially if they're filled with fluid). Be sure to park the tractor sideways on a slight incline when adjusting the wheels to make the job a little easier.

Congratulations & good luck!
