Al, I don't know anything about choppers or the size of them, if they can be broken down to fit in a shipping container the price isn't too bad. I used to break down machinery constantly at the dealer I used to work for and stuff it in containers. Mostly used up worn out equipment headed for the middle East, sometimes Australia or Europe as well. Used to send one or 2 PC200 Komatsu excavators out a week, many different types of wheel loaders, Lots of dozers up to D65 size and a lot of Caterpillar 140 and 160 graders. Any of them could be made to fit in a 40' container once broken down. Even shipped out a few Komatsu PC300 excavators in a 40'container. The container shipping was cheap, deck space was not. We had a few oddball machines that could no way in any shape or form fit in a container due to main frame width. Those had to have basically a virtual box around them that everything had to fit in, and in the smallest possible way. Then all of the parts would be welded, hung, bolted, cabled, whatever it took to fit that machine into the smallest square footage possible. The deck space to do that was crazy expensive, like $200 an inch or something like that if I recall correctly. Seemed like the company shipping the container would charge around $2000 to do it that way.

Today's Featured Article - Recollections of a John Deere GP - by Charlie Cook. I grew up on my dad's 280 acre general farm in Western Michigan. Dad's only tractor when I was very young was the old GP. My first recollection of this tractor was when dad allowed my brother and myself to ride on the tractor with him driving. One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
