How wide is it? If it's over 102" it's over width and permits are needed in some places. It probably won't be over height just by guessing. The DOT gets involved if it's oversize and it's a real guessing game as to whether they will be in a good mood or not.

I don't want to sound pessimistic but I have a hunch that anyone who agrees to haul a combine is going to be a little high on the pay scale.Jim

You know what Mike? I kinda like what a couple young pups were doing on the combine forum and that was drive em home sounds like fun take the camping gear or setup some fleabag hotels or bed and breakfasts on the way take the back roads plenty of flashing lights and a head trailer and tow the widest head use the grain bin to stow your gear and a nice camera. Can't use interstate highways that's the rule. Time to take time and smell the roses or mouse pee in the cab fan. Just like the old covered wagon days with a banner that says PA or bust you might even make the local evening news somewhere.LOL CT

Took my family 8 months to come from Mo. Or. in 1843 you might make it in 2 or 3 months.
Remove everything that makes it over 102" and then call a trucking outfit for a quote. It all depends on the states that you are going though and the width, weight and height.

A combine needs to be hauled on a drop deck trailer or tires/wheels removed. BTDT not fun.

go to the combine forum.There is a fellow in southern Missouri that moves them all the time. He might give you some pointers.

Now this may sound really crazy, because I know nothing about the Great Lakes- but are there any barges that transport stuff through the lakes and on east?

Being from so far away, I'm entitled to be ignorant of local conditions, so am free to bring up ridiculous ideas. I believe this to be true because there's precedent for it: After the Alaska earthquake of 1964, Hearst Newspapers in New York contacted their paper in Seattle, and dispatched a reporter to Anchorage- by taxi!

Walter I was being a little retro on the covered wagon thing but those little buggers go faster than you think should be about 15mph much faster than a conestoga wagon in fact the Gleaners are the fastest combines on the road made. The big ones ran right at 19mph but staying in the seat creates hemis. I'm thinking from Minn. to Pa. maybe a week to 10 days unless the wife wants to stop at a gift shop or if they team drive maybe half the time one person sleeps on an air mattress in the grain bin. Tire wear is not an issue cornstalks do more damage.
