I have been in the machinery moving business for several years . I always have to grin when people ask what it will cost to move a piece of equipment from point (A) to point (B). There can be a lot of things to consider when asking these things. Make, Model, Dimensions, Weight. First with the make and model most good transporters can tell if it will be a legal size load or not also the weight. If they can't or are not familiar with that particular piece of equipment they will need the height, to the tallest part and an accurate measurement not it looks like or I would guess. Measure it, width To the widest point, on tractors it will be the axle shafts. Duals will have to come off if they make it over width. It is considered a divisible load with them on in most cases. The weight in case it is heavy enough to have to permit it for the over weight. These things will make you move much easier and smooth for you and the person you are looking to have move it for you. Don't put up front money for anything if they require that run don't walk from that person or company, it is a scam. I always hauled getting the permits and delivery, with no up front money and collected upon delivery. This is how I operated for year with few problems. And yes the maximum legal width is 102inches or 8 feet 6 inches. There is no set legal height persay since each state has some difference in the maximum height. Most likely east of the Mississippi is 13feet 6 inches high most of the states west of the river are 14foot except for MN,OK NE is 14feet 6 inches. Pilot cars for over width or over height and running a high pole will add to the cost. Almost as much as the freight is.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
