Back in the 80's there was an outfit that used to haul 2 new combines at once out of the plants in the Quad Cities with special built trailers,no headers.
 
I have hauled two 2388's. Not legal but got away with it. Last time was when I hauled two of them from Kamsack SK to Iowa in the snow. I am glad those days are over, it's for guys with younger nerves.
 
Fred that is still a LOT of work loading a combine don't care how ya do it , it's a lot of BULL work at both ends. same way with the gravity boxes . I remember when Donnie and i went to a sale in Ill. and he and i each took a row of boxes and he told me to buy all that i could as long as i did not spend more the 350 a wagon. When we got to the end of our rows he came ove to me and said well did ya do any good ?? , I had a shirt pocket FULL of tickets . Don's driver was so sick of hauling boxes after three weeks of two to three trips per week .
 
Been a while now,but I think Highway service from southern Alberta used to haul them 2 at a time also in the mid 90s
 
I grew up and lived in/around the Quad-Cities until about 1990. Seemed like Warren Transport had most of the new combine cartage business.

I know Tennent Trucking is many times bigger now than they were back then. I know they deliver some new red combines from Nebraska.
 
Shives built the first combine hauler around here. He was north of here, Chatsworth? Bud Taylor out of Mahomet had one. They were light compared to todays standards but worked.
