I carried mine home in the back of my 78 Ford pickup. Back it in and you will not have to lift anything. Take some blocking to help over the wheel wells. The rear wheel lug bolts JUST cleared the side of the bed. If you have a tool box, I think the bed is to short then. Hope it not to late to help out.

It should fit if the wheels are set in a bit. as far as the weight goes I think it will be ok if there isn't any fluid in the tires or wheel weights. You might have to take off the hitch to shorten it up a bit. The only thing I ask is, how do you plan on getting it on and off safely? Good luck!

is my idea confusing you guys? i plan on backing the truck into a ditch and driving the tractor up to it... getting over the wheel wells is just a matter of strength if me and my friend can pick up the front end of my 22 i think 2 guys can easily pick up the front of a pony to lift it over the wells.. the truck should take the weight a half ton made in 1978 is a bit more solid than todays 1/2 ton... it is also set up with helper springs and it has no tail gate thanks for all your concerns and help

Hi Eric, No confusion here. Your original question was, would a Pony fit on your pickup. I replied it would and even went to the trouble of getting the dimensions for you. Larry expressed concerns about the weight. A standard equipped Pony weighs in at 1520 lbs. Another 116 lbs. if the tires are loaded. 1520 lbs. is a pretty good load for a vehicle that is rated at 1000 lbs. You never mentioned that your pickup was anything else but standard equipped. In that case it would have been severly overloaded. I mentioned that the only problem I saw was getting it over the wheel wells. As I own three Pony's I am well aware that this would not be much of a problem. I think these guys were merely voicing their concerns. Good luck. And have a good trip. Dave

Hi Eric, You asked if a Massey Pony would fit in the box of your F150. Yes it will. However as Larry mentioned there is the weight factor. If you have air bags or added suspension it probably isn't a problem. But it you still have factory suspension it would probably not be an enjoyable trip. Play it safe. Dave

Eric Have you ever carried over 1400 lbs. of weight in the back of a pick up truck ? Even if you could get it in the truck it would be top heavy,would not corner well ! I would not want to drive it any distance in the back of a pick up ! Use your implement truck and be SAFE!Borrow a friends trailer or rent a u-haul !!!!! Think Safety Larry

Hi Eric, Just measured one of my Massey Pony's. It is 55" x 98" over all. Yes I think it would physically fit. I just measured my 95 Ford and it would fit. Only problem I see is getting it over the wheel wells. And I am assuming your box is similar to mine. Good luck. Dave
