I know this isn't the answer for most folks, but I use a 1961 Mack B-61 and a 1952 Peterbilt to haul my tractors with. Usually pull a 24'tow-behind trailer with 3 axles. Lately I've been hauling a 1952 Hough HA Payloader and 2 1948 Earthmaster tractors to shows with the Pete and 24' trailer. The trucks are both licensed as Vintage Vehicles which is cheap and the insurance is cheap also. This type truck can be had for $5K to $10K if you look in the right place and will haul lots more than you're likely to ever put behind them. A drop-deck or gooseneck trailer would be better but I haven't found one at the right (cheap) price yet. I'm an old-truck nut anyway and love driving these old things, but if you're looking for a soft ride and easy driving this wouldn't be the way to go. I'll try to post a pic on the tractor photos section. Stan in Bama
