Well since I have some luck I'll push it a little! Here is another view of the Alice. it's in Central Nebraska and when the time comes it will be moved to North Texas. About 500 miles. Can I load the tractor backwards? or should I remove the bucket with the tines and carry it in the truck bed?

By the time I get the tractor it will not berunning. I'll have to either wench it on the trailer or hire a wrecker to load it. The farm hand bucket has very long tines that I'm sure will hit the back of the truck when loaded.

I have a slightly different view. Several years ago, I bought a Massey Harris 44 Special with a front end loader. I had a very heavy bucket so I thought I'd take it off and put it in the pickup. Hauling was easy but I discovered the hard way after 200 miles that my tongue weight was light. So I moved the tractor ahead to get the tongue weight right. But then, my truck was really squatting. I wished I had left the bucket on but not bad enough to unload the tractor and put the bucket back on.

Subsequesnt to that, I've hauled a WD with a loader and a Ford 901 with a loader on my 16' tandem trailer. I left the buckets on and got along with no problem. The bucket was slightly over the front of the trailer but did not interfer with turning.

I'd leave it on and drive the tractor on the trailer. Make sure tongue weight is adequate. If you back it on, you certainly will certainly be able to get edequate tongue weight.

The way we did it was laod the tractor and see how it was. Then we took the bucket off because with it on the load justs was plain to heavy on the tongue of the trailor. But that was also on a tractor that with out the loader weigh was over 6000 and then add the loader and it was probably more like 7000LBS

Yes, there are more ways than one to load a tractor. I'm embarassed to admit that I don't like hauling a tractor backwards on a trailer. I can't come up with a single reason for this preference. Quirky, I guess.

I'll give you the only reason I see to load one that way, opps this is for hauling 2. If you want to haul 2 trike front end tractors you back the first one on then drive the other one on forwards. That way you can sort of over lap the front ends so 2 will fit but thats the only time I do the back on.

I would remove the bucket and put it in/on the truck bed. When I hauled that Case 800 it had a loader on it and we put the bucket on the truck for 2 reasons. One to make it shorter so it would fit on the trailor and 2 to move some of the weight off the trailor and on to the truck
