Question: Does this have the wheels in the middle on the front or are they spread apart? If they are spread apart I can get this done for you for $760.00 insured and by a Qualified USDOT service provider. Please see profile for MC/USDOT numbers and feedback information, Thank you, Randy (10/7/2007)
Response: yes this is a wide front, would you like to know the distance, I could call monday evening and find out.

Question: Hello RisingSon! Question, do you still need this moved or have you made other arrangements. If you need transport, why not ask the seller to measure this tractor LxWxH? If the width is under 78" I can get this done for you 10-14 November. Let me know the status please. Thanx, Spiderman1776 (11/5/2007)
Response: I think we are going to relist this with the digger, I had someone suggest it, so I am going to see what it may cost to get it down here all in one load. (11/5/2007)
Question: Hi I asked a question about a month ago, but now have a new gooseneck, so what is it you want hauled so I can get with you, I may be in MN next week. Would provide DOT/MC #'s and cargo ins info. Please review my feedback. Thanks (11/8/2007)
Response: the owner thinks he can get it and the digger down here for $600, and I am waiting to hear back from him on tuesday (11/10/2007)
Response: Hi, OK I'll keep an eye on ad, if I get something else I may be able to do it for that also. Thanks (11/11/2007)
Response: If you can do the Farmall super m, and the 15 ft digger for the $600 you can have the job. He says he will do it, but he has been getting delayed several times. He is telling me he has a dr appt so he can not do it till maybe thursday. I am not in need of it asap and can wait for the right time as long as it comes sometime. By the way there is also a 3 foot by 4 foot antique potato planter and a 2 bottom antique plow, these do not need to come but if they would fit somewhere would be great to get also. The place of pick up is my brother in laws farm, and drop off is my residence. There is a large country gas station at the end of my driveway in case it would be easier to unload there. Just let me know. (11/12/2007)
Response: Hi, I see you're online so maybe you can clarify everything for me, the tractor w/loader, a digger ? I'm familiar with farm equip but not sure what this digger is or the size and weight? Then there's a potato planter and 2 bottom plow (pull type or Farmall type lift hitch? Trying to figure all the size and weight before I commit. I will be in MN Thurs. Please bear with me and maybe we can get this resolved. Please review my feedback. Thanks (11/12/2007)
Response: The digger is a pull behind attachement like a disk, but a disk has wheels (disks) a digger has lots of fingers, it is a unit and has a little "arm" on each side. the whole is 15 foot wide, but the arms may be able to be removed, I asked it sounded possible but not preferable. the front to back includes the hitch, most likely removable, the digger itself, and then a "drag" I have not seen the drag but it is normally a bunch of chain type, that is very flexible and should be able to be removed or even flopped up and onto the top of the digger. The digger should look very close to this http://www.wclittleton.com/cult12ft004.jpg (I realize this is a cultivator, but the two are close)
the plow should look very close to this
http://www.wclittleton.com/2btmihplow016.jpg
the planter is a little wood box with a seat, and 2 wheels, very small.
I am told the digger as is should be 1000-1500 lbs (11/12/2007)
Response: Hi, I'm in IN now heading to MN. A few more questions. Is there a tractor with a loader or rear boom to load some of this stuff? Does the digger fold up like the cultivator or is it just plain 15' wide? The plow and potato planter may have to be stacked or whatever. I think if we have the loader to do it, it can be done. But with all the weight and loading issues, which adds up I don't think I could do all of it for 600. I think it could be put on my trailer, I have hauled some weird loads on my smaller trailer, but it takes some time. Being a legal hauler I must go through weight stations and they are really checking loads. Went though 4 in two weeks in SD, OH TN and NC. The important thing is do we have a machine to load the stuff?? Then I can do it. I will check the computer tomorrow evening and if we have a loader of some type, we'll get it done. Thanks (11/13/2007)
Response: Sorry I did not see this question
There is another tractor there to help load. There is not a readily available one here to get it off. I just got off the phone with him, and he says. We could take off the extra parts of the digger and leave them there if needed, this would get the size down to about 8x12 and around 1000 lbs for the digger. with the tractor 4900-5600 and the loader ??? I guess 500-1000lbs??? it is a normal loader whatever they weigh. This is the smallest I can get, the other pieces are OPTIONAL (sides for digger 1.5 feet by 6 feet 75 lbs each) (digger back 400 lbs 14 feet by 6 feet) potato planter and 2 bottom plow. (11/17/2007)
Question: Is this ready to go yet? GJ&CJ (11/9/2007)
Response: the owner thinks he can get it down here, and I am waiting to hear back from him (11/10/2007)
Response: OK, I will be around this time for a little while. GJ&CJ (11/10/2007)
Question: Hi again, sounds like you have arraignments already made? Can't wait much longer without a response. Thanks (11/16/2007)
Response: no I do not have arrangments yet. (11/17/2007)
Response: Hi, OK, is there another machine to load the digger? I'm just waiting to hear on another job and then will be heading out. Thanks (11/17/2007)
Response: yes there is a loader tractor there to help, and let me know what you can do it for if it is over 600 just let me know what it is. (11/17/2007)
Response: Hi, I could do for 840 but would need to know asap, would like to pickup today, I'm about 2 hrs from there. As long as there's a loader there to help, I should be able to get everything on. Thanks (11/17/2007)
Response: 840 is higher then I was hoping, I will wait on the owner a little longer. (11/17/2007)
Question: I have a 30ft flat bed trailer. How many items do you have to ship? I can pick up 11/20 and deliver the same day. (11/17/2007)
Response: There is another tractor there to help load. There is not a readily available one here to get it off.

The other pieces are OPTIONAL (sides for digger 1.5 feet by 6 feet 75 lbs each) (digger back 400 lbs 14 feet by 6 feet) potato planter (very small, antique, it is about 3x4 and wheels)and 2 bottom plow, antique pretty small, I would guess 4x7, it has 2 plows and 2 car size wheels. (11/17/2007)
(11/17/2007)
Response: Sounds like all of that would go on a 30ft trailer. Whats your target for all of it? Please review my 100% positive feedback! (11/17/2007)
Response: owner keeps telling me he will do it for 600, but he has "resceduled" coming down about 10 times in the last few months, I am willing to pay more not to have to wait for him, but I am not sure how much more. I am not in a hurry, but would like it down sometime. (11/18/2007)
Question: Do you still want this done, KVE ? (12/11/2007)
Response: Yes, I would like both big items. I do have pictures. But the lowest I have gotten was $840 and that is more then I can afford. If it does not work out for a lower price, I will figure something else out. (12/11/2007)
Response: Ok, I cannot understand from reading what we actually have to move. I see the IH + loader, and that's ok, I have a 12,000 lbs trailer with ramps, but what's the other item ? I might have to make 2 trips, which will cost double of course.
I can probably do the tractor for $ 650.00 during the weekend, does it run to be loaded onto a trailer ? (12/11/2007)
Response: The two big items are the tractor and digger, these are most important the other small items are only if they fit on the trailer. The small items are, a steel hose about 6" diameter and 20 feet long for an irrigation system. A little potato planter about 4x3 feet, and a 2 bottom plow. The digger is 15 foot wide, but can be shortened by about 3 feet I think if the two ends are taken off. The tractor runs. I am trying now to place a picture now. (12/11/2007)
Response: Ok, I am trying to picture the whole load, I have a 30ft gooseneck where everything can fit, but it's a straight deck has no ramps, how do we load and unload ?
Otherwise I have a 18ft flatbed with ramps (BTW is the Farmall wide or narrow front ?) but everything cannot fit on it. (12/11/2007)
Response: I am sure a 30 foot trailer would be long enough. I will ask about loading it.
here is more pictures- http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0Act3Dhw1auWLjQ¬ag=1 (12/11/2007)
Response: I've seen pictures. If there's a way to load tractor through a loading dock or ramp I think wee can make it on the 30ft.
I will have to ask $ 750 net for all, which means bid will have to be $ 837.81.
The green "cultivator" will go dideways in front with plow on it's side, tractor will stay on back and keep bucket over front load, small items will fit in between.
I can do it this weekend. KVE (12/11/2007)
Question: Hi again, I talked to you way back in Oct but have since gotten a new larger trailer, is it still available? Also without trying to go back over all the equipment, is there a loader to lift up items and set on trailer maybe on top of other items like the plow? May be headed to MN again this week and may be interested. Thanks (1/27/2008)
Response: Yes, there is a second tractor with a loader at the pick up location that would be able to lift the digger onto the trailer so you could put this tractor on first or second whichever way works best. Need ramps for tractor, it is drivable. (1/27/2008)
Response: Hi, OK I looked at the pics and I have hauled a cultivator like this before and spent a couple hours detaching the hitch because when you put on a trailer lengthwise the hitch would hang over the side so it must come off. I estimate the weight (hauled and owned old equip like this) at abt 10,000 lbs. Do you have a loader of some sort to unload a few things at destination? some items would have to be stacked and the tractor would be in front. I do have ramps. There's a lot of loading and chaining down to be legal, and I am a legal USDOT and FMCSA hauler and there are a lot of weight stations between and the FMCSA is really getting strict on us. I would be interested since I may have a load going to MN, but would have to get 900 for all that I could get on trailer. Thanks, and if not, good luck with your shipment. Please review my feedback, although it doesn't reflect the tractor companies I also haul for. Thanks (1/27/2008)
Question: ok, this tractor has been on forever, diesel fuel is going through the roof, sir? nobody is gonna take there entire trailer space all that way for $50, get over it, sorry for being a smart guy but its not happening anymore. starving is an understatement when it comes to transporters. take a reasonable bid and just do it, i see it every week for 5-6 months. drive it urself, if ya can do it cheaper then load it and del. it urself. im sure ya will find out it cant be done for under $750 but, ya never know, good luck, i live 20 miles from ya and wouldnt do it for what ur lookin for and i go to illinois every week. (2/26/2008)
Question: if it can be brought to belmond, iowa..which is <2 hrs from minnepolis. then I can bring it to you for 500, only because I have another small load going to indiana. I can not deliver until april 12th or so. (3/27/2008)
Response: How much extra would you charge to go to holdingford/upsala? (3/27/2008)
Response: well sir, that is 6 hours and 400 miles. I can't do that for less than 350. extra. I understand being on a budget, but that is the best that I can do. sorry (3/28/2008)
Question: Is this still active ? (4/12/2008)
Response: YES, IT IS STILL IN MINNESOTA WAITING TO COME DOWN. (4/12/2008)
Response: You cannot expect to have it shipped cheaper, fuel price are raising and cost will go up. I can place a bid but it will be $ 850 total. KVE (4/19/2008)
Question: I will be heading back from Fargo next week, Will there be a way to load the plow? I can haul all of this. Can you go 650.00?....Thanks Jimstow (4/29/2008)
Response: Yes if you can get the plow also I will go 650, There are other tractor loaders there to help load. Sunday would be a bad day, but may work out depending on time of day. all other days are good. (4/30/2008)
Response: Thanks for the response,I have placed a bid...Jim (4/30/2008)
