To get it in the bed of a pickup, a 7' bucket will have to be taken off and will lay lengthwise and the end on the tail gate, I'd think, with the front loader cross arm laying in front of it and stradling the loader. One brace may have to lay on top of the bucket. On a trailer you can leave it together and let it sit till ready to mount it. Without measuring one, I'd suspect it is going to lay across the wheel wells for sure.
I'd think you want to get some pictures and measurements before you go. I'd like to hear more details from the earlier poster who did haul one on how he got it all loaded.

No fun and no relaxation.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
