E.Central MN | We bought a burned tandem grain truck and were going thru the options to get it home. We have a friend that hauls with a machinery trailer at a very reasonable rate when we give him a little time to work it in, but the truck owner was hoping we'd move it right away as it was parked in front of his shed. So we decided it was faster to call a local wrecker that we have used in the past. The wrecker charged $275 to tow it 36 miles with his big tow truck. We disconnected the drive shaft and released the brakes beforehand so all he had to do was back up to it and chain the axle to the wrecker boom. That's what they do every day, sure beats trying to rig up some rinky dink tow mechanism and having it break down half way home. Small combines might be easier to haul on a low boy machinery trailer, local scrapper hauls them on his tandem implement bed, just find somebody local that hauls stuff. Don't have to reinvent the wheel. | |
