A few years back, I bought a Massey Harris 44 and an Allis All-Crop combine together just to get the combine. First reasonable offer owned the 44. The buyer came after it with what appeared to be a new trailer. He got cold feet and wouldn"t load the narrow front tractor on his trailer that had only 2 ramps.

He finished loading it himself while I went looking for another pair of shorts.
