It will work if you have the capabilities to position them. The first tractor will be easy, the other tractors will have to have something to skid along the floor on. Possibly fabricate a stand that lets them slide and keeps the tractors reasonably level. If they will be shipped out of the country,they will have to be drained of all fluids and the batteries removed.Mark them so the end user knows they are drained.Label each tractor as to what it is,and which parts go with it. Tie them down SECURELY,crib the back wheels,and try to keep the load equal front to rear and side to side.They move the cans with forklifts and cranes and a balanced load would be to everyones benefit.Also record any and all model numbers,serial numbers,engine numbers,and any other identifying marks,and take photos, for customs and insurance.

Ask the shipping company if they require anything else as it varies from company to company.
