good friend bought a JD hay loader at an auction Saturday. my trailer is 102" wide and tilts. just the ticket for moving a hay loader. machine probably been stored for 70 years.

thats in really good shape!

sms · Aug 6, 2018

I had a chance to buy one in similar condition years ago but passed as I had no place to keep it.

Goose · Aug 6, 2018

My trailer is also 102". It's legal in Nebraska, but several surrounding states are limited to 96". But, I've hauled through all of them and no one ever said anything, even when an officer at a port of entry in Kansas checked my load.

Grandpa sold his similar loader in 55. Pretty complete, but needed 20% wood. The IHC binder went at the same time. very nice find. Innovation is our forte. Jim

Really??

What happens if someone from a state where 102" is OK wishes to travel through a state where 102" [i:30690c157f]isn't[/i:30690c157f] allowed (except for semi's)??

I think you're OK anywhere if the trailer is legal in the state of your residence. Same as your driver's license is OK anywhere in the country.

102" is good on any interstate in any state.
It is the local rules that can get you, but usually only if your caught doing something stupid.

Or you are driving thru some Barney Fife's kingdom.

My trailer is 102"

jddrawbar · Aug 6, 2018

Really nice piece of equipment......good find.

ohiojim · Aug 6, 2018

don't see them in that shape often...nice find

jimg.allentown · Aug 6, 2018

I wonder where the discussion about the legality of the trailer came in?? I re-read the entire thread, and see no place where that question was asked.
BUT, just for information, federal law states that no state may have a blanket prohibition on 102" trailers. Also, every state must allow 102" trailers on highways approved for STAA dimensions. That includes most (if not all) interstate highways.
Restrictions do sometimes exist on state highways and secondary roads.

David G · Aug 6, 2018

There are a lot of county roads in MO that are only a few inches wider than my trailer, a challenge, but it does fit.

jeffcat · Aug 6, 2018

Please tell your friend to keep it under cover and take good care of a vanishing piece of equipment. What a beauty! I can still remember in the 60s the neighbor farm had a team and I watched him doing hay several times. Wish I had watched more. I can remember the mechanical noises of that machine and the sounds of the teams harness.

I've not seen one in that good shape since I was a kid in the 50s.

Most have been left out in the field to rot and rust away.

Probably should be in a museum.

Jim ...... nor any questions about specific federal regulations. Meanwhile, if you ever come across any post here on YT that is of any length at all where every reply stays 100% on track, make sure you let me know. I've seldom seen such an animal.

casecollectorsc · Aug 6, 2018

Got a JI Case model 17 hay loader. Someone before me replaced the wood bars with steel pipe.

formerly ny bill · Aug 6, 2018

he's a JD man, and has a big old freestall that has room for it. I'm sure it will be under cover, at least after the tractor club meeting that is at his place next week.

grandpa Love · Aug 6, 2018

Hey Bill, "Tractor club meeting at his house"? Maybe you will post some pictures? I've seen pictures of the meeting at your house. I've been to tractor shows with fewer tractors!!

formerly ny bill · Aug 6, 2018

hi kevin, no pictures of the meeting this year (and his meeting is a steak roast!). my friend that has the Farmall A #501 said if I show up at the Walton fair that same night, I can drive the A in the fair parade. sounded like a deal to me!!

bwillett · Aug 6, 2018

Saw one being used here in "Amish Country" last week....A county or 2 north of where I live. And several left in the field...

ArleninOr · Aug 6, 2018

Nice shape. We had one for a few years when I was just a little guy. There is one advertised locally for $1600.00. Coop E-3. Little overpriced I think.

IaLeo · Aug 6, 2018

That is a fairly late model, possibly built at the old Dain (JD bought Dain) facility here in Iowa.
