Frank: The overall length is 115". You really should have a 12' to 15' deck trailer for hauling that tractor. Balance is everything when it comes to hauling tractors. You've got to be able to place the weight just right. Sometimes that involves moving tractor forward or back on deck. I have stopped and moved tractors after I'm on the road.

You get an unbalanced load and it can make your drive, "hell on earth". That is true regardless of the size of truck. One day I was approaching a sawmill, at about 1/2 mile I noticed an SUV and trailer with about a ton of lumber, leaving the mill. I could also see he had too much weight behind trailer axle. I stopped as he was coming towards me. You guessed it, he started fish tailing. then jackknifed, did about 270 degree turn right in front of me, finally got stopped crossways in front of me. I was only grossing 140,000 lbs. Just imagine his fate had I not stopped.

The guy behind me, said after the fact, " I almost pulled out and passed you, then I saw the same as you, an accident lookig for a place to happen."
