JD=BR ,CASE=DO , fm=A , FM=230 AND Fm=b tri .I Think a 24 with 5ft dove would work to move 2 at a time , 3 at a time seems a little much even for my 3500 chev . any thoughts ? how much better would a gooseneck be?

Loaded the "B" tri, put two car ramps down ,drove right up
Hahaha, sorry, that went right over my head. I am married to a wonderful lady who doesn't keep track. I have four that have been around awhile and she's come to recognize those but the rest come and go to the point where she doesn't even notice, let alone care. I must have married the exception 8)

these pix displays the danger of loading and unloading ,I KNOW EVERYONE Is CAREFUL , But STUFF HAPPENS !, Just a thought,,. at the most prominant shows i would like to see L shaped loading docks ..if you ever saw a tractor slip off the ramp and flip over it would make anyone cringe and say their hail marys each time ..

Your post brings back a memory of a load of Case DB tractors that was delivered to us when we were dealers, The Case DB were ariving into an assy plant in Jacksinville Florida, and shipped to the NE dealers from there. We had an open order in a 1690MFD/cab, 16902WD/cab, and 1490MFD open station. One day an unusual truck trailer pulled into our yard with all three tractors on a fifth wheeler like yours with all 3 onboard. The driver, 65ish was a nervus reck. His horse was no more than a high end camper hauler. When he got here he was a total nervus reck, and couldn't even back up to our dock. He told us that he had to abandon one of the tractors in Penn. because the horse's tranny couldn't pull the grades. Had to abandon another one at a different site at the summit and go back for the first one he left.
I would dare say that was his first and last attempt at recreational hauling.
Moral of the story; just because you can load it on, doesn't mean you can haul it. LOL

well the biggest load that i had on my goose neck was one 1066 with can duals a full rack of ft. weights and four sets of do nut weights on the rear and one 806 with cab full rack on the ft. and three sets on the wheels and duals across three states . hauled a J D 320 and a 330 and a massey 95 from iowa to ohio . The old 88 Ford F350 did a fine job for me . Bought it used as and ex oil field refugee with 62000 miles on it with every u/joint out of it and every wheel seal leaking . when i sold it it had 287000 on it and still going. Never hauled more then it would pull and never drove it faster then it would go .

THEORETICALY she will get over being mad in 50-60 years.though youll have to listen to her for at least that long!! LOL

Picture that appeared in Oliver Heritage #43, June/July 2011 of 7 Oliver Super 55's that my brother loaded at the Charles City, IA factory in Winter 1957. B61 Mack road tractor w/673ci 175 hp Mack engine, pneumatic starter; air brakes on the 34' single axle trailer.
Picture taken at destination, Leinbach Machinery Co, Winston-Salem, NC.
Factory staff brought running tractors off the assembly/testing line to Charles who drove them on the trailer with use of two short boards to "piggy-back" the front wheels over the rear wheels. Front wheels of first tractor are resting on thick oak boards hanging over the front of the trailer.
Brother was sent to local balcksmith for a 5/8" rod bent to make an off-center "V" to clamp the Regis (Stay) and Steering Tie Rods so front wheels were locked from turning which would have resulted in damage on the oil pan on one tractor and steering shaft on the other;steering wheels were removed on all but the first and last tractor for this method of transport.
Brother had to sign a waiver in case of damage or if anyone was hurt, that he would have been responsible. He had loaded tractors in a similar manner at the Minneapolis Moline factory before!
