Transporting pull type combine

David G · Apr 12, 2014

I need to transport a pull type MH combine about 100 miles. I have a 23' beaver tail trailer, or could borrow a tip trailer with fenders.

I could use some counsel.

Need more info.How wide is it? Wheel bearings or bushings(you can tow it with bearings).Either trailer should work. A beavertail is probably a flat deck. The tipup may not be wide enough between the fenders.That would make loading a pain at best.I would take the flat deck if at all possible.But I would see about just towing it.Good tires,drive at a modest/safe speed....Build an offset hitch to put the machine directly behind your pickup.

Here is an All-Crop on a flat deck beavertail.We used a winch to load the thing.As you can see, a trailer with fenders would not have worked well.

My trailer is 102 inches wide, and has flat fenders that rise about eight inches, but I made them out of quarter inch steel, and can drive over them. But, transporting a Model 66 combine with corn head, I had to add a steel outrigger similar to the one you show. I made the outrigger to match the fender on the trailer, and an extra ramp to match the outrigger.

Here is a JD 105 on a tilt trailer with fenders.The combine sat too far back.As you can see the machine was too wide to load the other way.35 mph was top speed for that one.It would get REAL squirrily any faster.Hauled 60+ miles.Went right through downtown GrandJunction,Co.

If it has wheel bearings bring a couple spares and hook it to the truck and pull it home. Pulled this 77 case from menomonie wi. home About 120 miles. went right along at about 40 mph.

I hauled a NI picker on my 102 X 34' hyd dovetail. The guy I hauled it for had a small 4wd hydro that we hooked it to and drove it up with. We had a forklift holding the right axle until we got as far up as we could. We then blocked the right axle and chained it down. Rode good, about 40 miles. The tires were shot and it was going to Arthur, IL. When we tried to use a skidsteer to unload it, it was too light. Got a forklift and came off perfect. Winch it on and block the right wheel that over hangs and it will ride. Watch your elevator for height.

we recently bought a ford 340B industrial w/fel and box scrapper and hauled it home on a u-haul car trailer with our 1 ton van. the bucket sat 18" from the back of the van and the box scrapper hung over the trailer about a foot and a half. but we strapped her down and hauled her home about 120 miles. i made wide turns and didn't go over 45 mph. i wish i had taken some pics, it looked like an elephant sitting on on a peanut. i was a ner-vice wreck. we saw 1 CHP but he never turned around and i kept on going.

how much did the 105 weigh ?

(quoted from post at 03:19:05 04/13/14) how much did the 105 weigh ?

I was thinking the same thing. Google says about 10K. You can pull it, but stopping is always the problem.

I took an old ford type drawbar that goes in the three point hitch arms and placed a piece of iron on the end. Made an off set hitch where I could back the thing on my 102 trailer. I am talking about a AC 72. Have hauled two of them. It is not the hauling but loading that is the problem. Getting it loaded without tearing it up takes a little work.
