So Fred --tell us the rest of the story ! parts tractors? no tires? container? Roy

Must be, they cut the axles off with a torch.

Interesting--Shipping container? How far do you have to take them apart? Do the axles have to come out? Do you have any idea of the cost to ship them to England? Thanks---Tee

good runners, had to narrow up and pull Rops and cab. no idea of cost, buyer is arranging

I can't imagine that being economically feasible!

Probably be the cleanest tractors of that age in England when they come out of that container.

john in la · Aug 20, 2020

There is a local place here that does that.
All most exclusively John Deere tractors and mostly cotton pickers.
Takes them apart and stuffs them in containers to be sent somewhere overseas.

Are they going to collectors?

Meangreen · Aug 20, 2020

There used to be an auction company that I would follow that had an overseas buyer and they sent a lot of green iron over seas. I was told that because the farms were smaller in Europe they were the ideal size tractors.

no I'm an open book. Barnstable Devon UK stop in when you are in the area

I know someone in the Netherlands that ships a lot of tractors overseas to his place for sale. I shipped a John Deere GP to the Netherlands about 5 years ago. From my place in central Iowa to the Netherlands was $3800.00
