Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Is there any way to get the height down to 11' (9/30/2009)
Response: yes sir i can hire a mobile mechanic to break it down further than the measurements i posted (10/1/2009)
Question: Just food for thought, if you "can" take it apart to lower the height and width, which by the looks of your photo you can, you're under legal responsibility to do so. Plus it'll save you a bunch of cash for shipping. (10/1/2009)
Response: thank you for the advice sir and a mobile mechanic will be dispatched upon a shipping agrement (10/1/2009)
Response: If you have new dimensions of what it would be after you take it apart I can quote off that, I'd like to get you a good price. (10/1/2009)
Response: the original dimensions are the same i had already broke it down for length and width but not hight (10/1/2009)
Response: Sounds good, just wanted to confirm. I'll get a quote done up. (10/2/2009)
Response: sorry abacus truck hsi transport has asked a question saying if i get it broke down he can get it here for 4000.00 (10/2/2009)
Response: Thats cool. Let him do it then I guess. I have no idea how he can afford to do it with the lowboy trailer & wide load permits at that rate but to each their own. Thanks for all your answer to my questions just the same. Hope your shipment goes smoothly. (10/2/2009)
Response: thank you aswell.I believe he is doing it on a back haul and bringing back apick up truck for someone else. (10/2/2009)
Question: If you get this broken down I can get it there for 4000.00 Thanks! HSI Transport. (10/1/2009)
Response: done deal (10/1/2009)
Response: Alright. That works for Me! Question though. When broken down could you give me the dimenions of everything? I'd like to see if i can try to pack this on a smaller trailer, and put what I can in the back of a pick up in order to try to acomidate another load. Its a long shot. But its worth a try. If you could give me the Dimenions of the peices Broken down that would be great! Thanks! HSI Transport. (10/1/2009)
Response: broken down the frame is 16 feet long and ten wide.the vaccum head is 6 feet wide.the tubing is 19 inches tall and wide.I think the head and all the bracing will fit in the back of a pick-up truck aswell as the squirrel fan housing that u see on top of the can held on by many bolts.Also the tires are going to be removed they should also be able to fit in the back.But! remember alot of the for mentined stuff can also fit in the can one end of the can swings open when it tilts and dumps the peat. (10/2/2009)
Question: hi if you're going to tear this apart,lower the height and put everthing inside the unit i could move it for about $3600.00 (10/2/2009)
Response: yea tht work's for me please log it in as a bid then we can talk on the phone to hammer out small details (10/2/2009)
