Anyone have any tricks on loading a 9' haybine on a trailer. Can't back it up cause the tire spread is wider than the 8 1/2 wide trailer I've got. Been thinking about making some sort of pallet to put under it and skid it up onto the trailer. Any Idea's out there? Should I load across ways on trailer and let it hang over two feet on each side? Or load it lenght wise and remove the tonuge of the haybine so it doesn't hang over.

I bought my IH 1190 cutter 150 miles away, I loaded it from the side and removed the tongue. I used 2, 2x 12's 4 feet long as ramps and parked the trailer with one side in the ditch and backed it on with a tractor,lowered it down and chained it down tight. Tongue came off alot easier than I thought it would. A few 2x4 blocks would have came in handy to nail them down on the trailer to block the tires on the haybine after it is in place..

You should be able to slide it up a ramp. Put some plywood down and some cardboard on top of it under the tires, sprinkle a little fertilizer or something like that under the cardboard to reduce friction.

Why not pull it behind your pickup? I've pulled mine 60 miles before with out any trouble. Just go slow, approx 30mph, and it should go fine. It's tough to load them on a trailer. If you have to, I'd go with sideways and remove the tounge.

I loaded a NH 489 on a truck with a 12 ft body, sideways and took the tounge off had no trouble.
Hope this helps. Merry Christmas, Wayne

How did you get it up on the truck? I'm just worried about messing something up on the underside by dragging it up on the trailer sideways. I've got a loader tractor to help and ramps and a beaver tail on the trailer. Never can be too cautious.

The place where I bought it had a loading dock, backed the truck along side and backed it on.
The lowered the cutting head to the truck bead, attached chains and then took off the toung and PTO. When I got it home we have a bank along the road by the house, pulled the truck along the bank Attached the toung and carefuly pulled it off.

How far are you going & what kind of roads?

I'd tow it behind the pickup most of the time. If that doesn't work because you are going 400 miles or heavy roads, then you absolutley need to get that thing narrower that 10' to be legal, so you need to go sideways & take the hitch off.

You need some lumber & build some ramps and go slow & careful, usually the experienced machinery jockeys back them up with the hitch on a loader for good steering - park in a ditch or dig one side of the wheels down to lower the height. Going to be hard to tell you much more, it's your machinery, you need to know how to handle it - or we get liable for wrecking it. :)

Do what Paul says. Keep the trailer low by putting one side in a ditch. Use ramps. Hook it to the loader bucket and push it on SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. With the loader you can raise or lower the hitch to get the correct angle. Be careful-a slight turn of the steering wheel will make a big move of the loader. It helps to have a spotter because the driver won't be able to watch everything. Take the tongue off and haul it home. Good luck.
