I finally got both of the Allis All-Crop 72 combines home that I bought. I had to transport both of them about 140 miles each. Not something I wish to repeat soon but actually all went well. They are both a little over 10’ wide and the wheels would not fit on my 8’ trailer. I adopted the idea of a dolly wheel under the axle similar to the one talked about on Yazallcrop in order to get it on the trailer. I then jacked it up, removed all the wheels and set it on blocks and chained it down. I transported both without a wide load permit and passed numerous police along the way but none bothered me. I put red flags all around and a rotating beacon on top. I stayed off the major highways and traveled through farm country for the most part. I attempted to get a permit and filled out all the forms and met all the DOT’s requirements as laid out on their web site. However when applying in person they came up with absurd reasons not to issue me one. Like my 95 truck was too old! Also I wouldn’t be allowed to cross any bridges??? And I would need 2 escort vehicles! I think the guy was nuts so I just walked out of their office and did it anyway. They are both home now and I don’t have to take them on the road anymore. Both are in very nice condition overall and it shouldn’t be a problem to get one really nice working unit out of them both.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
