I plan to rent a trailer to haul a JD 4400 combine that I just bought. Pull the flatbed trailer behind my pickup.
I’m concerned about the height. Specs say it’s 11 feet 3 inches tall. The flatbed trailer is 3 feet tall.
So that’s 14 feet 3 inches.
Question: Are all the wires across the road higher than that, on secondary roads?
I’ve been driving the route, before I load it and some wires look low.
I think it’s telephone wires. The electric wires seem higher. Some telephone wires seem to come out of the ground, then the wire goes up a
pole, and crosses the road, but it’s not as high as the power lines.
Is there a spec on this? How high are these wires supposed to be?
Has anyone had any trouble with this?
Plus, How about Stop Lights? What’s their clearance? I need to drive thru Sedalia, MO
Question 2: How do I load a combine? Should I use a winch and not drive it on?
Is forward or backward better? Is one direction more stable?
Thank you,
(That picture is not my combine, but would be something like that)
