Hauling an excavator.

On another forum a guy asked what size excavator he could haul on his car trailer for he was thinking about buying one-most of the people agreed with the guy that posted this picture! Thought it was funny---Tee

At work they sent me after an excavator that I never seen before, because the trailer I use would work better! Get to the dealer to pickup and they expect me to load it, never operated one let alone load it on a trailer that had more tracks hanging off the side that what was on the trailer, and a raining muddy mess. Shop foreman tried and slid off once, chewed me out for not bring an operator( I was 3 hrs away from dealer taking it 5 hrs away to project). Moved trailer to better spot and he eventually got it loaded. Worst load I ever took, did get if off and back on with an operator and all was good. Foreman did apologize, which I didn't mind the chewing out, better him than me upsetting the excavator.

Mini excavators can get as light as 2-3k lbs, not very big or usefull but would do for a light car hauler. I think most of the mini's you see are around are in the 7-10k lb range though.

My neighbor had a small Kubota that he pulls with his van in a small dump trailer. The tracks will adjust in to make it real narrow. Hes a plumber so it beats a shovel.

My farming buddy just let his son buy a Deere 690D, for fence row cleaning and motocross track building. Had a quick job lined up to remove an old orchard for a neighbor. He was surprised how expensive they are to move when you have to get permits for a 40 ton machine...
