It would be alot easier if you got a transport company, to haul it for you. Less Than Freight loads are always avalible, for companies to make a back haulo worth while for them. Or a less than load for sombody, to pick up, that is heading in that dirrection to pick up a full load. Most transport companies that handle specialized loads already have the proper permits required by each state. I think, but don't quote me, but I think companies buy there specialized permits for the year, for each State, or Province the haul in. Doing it this way would be cheaper than you driving empty 300 miles, and buying trip permits, unles you can take a load and deliver near the pice of equipment. Now to load apice of equipment that is wider than your trailer is quit easy, but time consuming, for unloading, and loading. You have to have ramps even with the height of your trailer. Be able to have one wheel of the combine, on each side of the trailer. Jack up your combine so that the wheels are slightly off the ground. Remove the tires, and lower it down on top of blocks. Have your blocks half the heighth of the removed tire. Make sure that they are at lease 10" wide by 6' in length. Have a notch cut in it the width of your axcle about 2" or 3" deep. Have 6 pieces of 4"x 4" stackin two's one at each end, and one in the middle, to span across your trailer inbetween your blocks to keep them in placc. Then strap down your blocks. Chain down your combine, and your good to go. Before you leave to get your combine, you can call ahead to the permit office, and pay for your permit in each stste, and they will issue a permit, for a couple of days, and fax you a copy of your permit. You have to have a Credit card for that. I can't remember how much it costs for the permits. I quit driving transport trucks 8 years ago, and I used to have to get the odd permit, for the odd over demintion load, for a couple of States, that I had to go through. Hope this helps you out. Gives you a couple suggestions. Bruce.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
