A friend heard that I was looking for a swather and wants to give me his NH 114 swather. It was working last year and just needs some of the teeth replaced on the sickle. He is done making hay and just wants it gone so he can use the storage space.
I can get it to my farm, but what I really need to get it to another location two counties away after I go over servicing and replacing teeth. Going to the other location goes through two larger towns and once we get out of this county going east, we lose many of the gravel roads. How hard is it to take off the boom and put it on a trailer longwise? Then I could jump on the highway and not have to drag it. I've been trying to find weight specs online. Then we would have the challenge of taking it off trailer. We have been paying someone to bale the 60 acres for us, so my idea was to set up a shed and get older usable equipment and leave it there. Any ideas?
