How to haul?

Crap! I'm glad I looked at the auction website again. I was real interested in this. It's coming up in a few days. There were more pictures tonight than there had been,including this one.
I was concerned enough about hauling it home if it had that equal angle hitch,but how in the world would you haul something like this behind a flatbed dually?
Even on the triaxle flatbed it would need major surgery to get the tongue off. The sale is too far away to drive a tractor to get it.
Any ideas?

Randy, put it on the trailer sideways, disconnect the swing cylinder and fold it back or forward manually to fit it back to 8' after you block and strap it on the trailer. If you block it right, the tongue should support itself and fold easily.
 
i hauled a NH 499 apx 600 miles, we placed the haybine on the trailer and chained it, then took the cap off the swing arm and unhooked all the lines and slid it under the trailer and chained it. no problems all the way home.
 
Dealer has a setup for the back of one of their trucks to haul things like that. Never really looked close at it, but I see them haul the center pivot Deere discbines all the time with the three point hookup. If I were around in the next couple of days I would go check it out.
 
Used to be a dolly available that had a manual 3ph hookup. I towed a 4-18 Melroe plow 75 miles out of south MPLS area years ago with my pickup. Local White dealer had the 2 wheel dolly, don"t know mfgr.
 
Hauled a few of those when they were brand new....like the other poster said unhook the swing cyl., pull the tongue around strap it in place chain her to the trailer and make for home. IIRC there are lift eyes on the top.
 
I move them all of the time with a flatbed pickup.

There is usually a loader at most auctions. Set the hitch pins up on your flat bed truck with a 4x4 under each pin. I usually have the pins/hitch 6-12 inches up on the bed. I then cross chain the hitch pins to the goose neck ball. I then cross chain the pins to the back pockets on the bed rails.

So you have two chains pulling the load around the gooseneck ball. And then two chains holding the hitch tight so it can't move forward or sideways.
 
Randy---I am 2 miles from that auction--the auctioneer is even closer. YOu can haul it to my place if you need more time. I have 3 industrial loaders to load.
 
Are you 100% sure there aren't any stops that will stop it from swinging around? The sale is 75 miles or more away and I'd hate like heck to pull the trailer all the way up there and find out I need to come up with a plan B.
 
I'd appreciate that more than you know.
Are you going to be there then?
You know what I look like from pictures posted in the past don't you?
 
I've found a lot of dealers in other states in other states. jm says Kubota dealers will be dealers for them. We've got one of those fairly close,good sized dealer. I'm willing to spend a few bucks to take a chance if it's in decent shape.
 
Not sure I will be there, but thinking I will stop by--- Leonard Strouse is my name. Scott, the auctioneer is my neighbor.
My cell is 989-621-0483 home phone is 989-386-7314

If you buy it you could haul it to my place or I could go there and get it for you and bring to my place then you could get it at your convenience. I have loader tractors.

My wife starts 13 days of radiation today so we will be gone about an hour each day---going to MIDLAND.

I would love to be of help. I will try to stop over. If you want give me your cell number and I will call you at the sale.

OK,I wrote your numbers down. I'm planning on going,but with cattle,nothing's set in stone. I'll be the guy in the bibs,Oliver shirt and Lund Farm hat. I'll try to look you up. I think the best bet would be for me to take the trailer. I had a scheme that involved an old 3pt quick hitch bolted to the back of the truck,but I did some measuring. That idea's out the window.
 
Plains (JD) has a deal that hooks into the 5th wheel, then sits on/clamps to the back of the truck frame, something like a wrecker boom. They deliver bigger 2/3pt equipment with one of their semi trucks.
