I moved a Kubota & several implements from Texas to Iowa via United Van Lines. They hired a flatbed tow truck and we drove the Kubota with an implement attached up the tilted bed of the tow truck, he raised the bed & flattened it out at the height of the moving van and I backed the tractor in, disconnected the implement and went back to get another one.

The only bad thing was the van driver let the tow truck go before I got the empty tractor loaded and I had to drive it up a fibreglas 10 foot long ramp rated for 5000 pounds. My tractor and loader weigh about 4500. The ramp was real scary because it was steep and flexed up and down (mostly down) when I drove the tractor up.

When we got to Iowa, we reversed the process except we kept the tow truck until the tractor was also on the ground.

The question of ventilating the truck never came up, maybe because the Kubota is a diesel. We also had a full load of household goods and didn't notice any problem.

Hope this helps.
