We"re heading down to Bloomington Sat morning. Coming right up to St Cloud to catch 94. I could pick you up and you could just road it home..

Seriously though, if its in good running order and you could plan a route, driving it might be your cheapest bet.

Don't know much about the machine but I got that Perkins in my 750 Massey and it is absolutly trouble free. Plenty of power, easy on fuel and tough as nails. I agree with brokenwrench. It's got tires and a steering wheel so just drive it. Boy that looks like a clean machine for the money.

If you can't drive it home, it'll likely be a permit load. I don't see them often , but I recall bein' passed by a a hot dog haulin' a big CIH for a custom outfit. Lowboy with outriggers and the tires let down to almost flat to make the overhead clearance.

Drive the combine and put both heads on a truck. We picked up a new Oliver 7600 one time in Columbus, drove it 140 miles all in one day and then found out a couple of days later that it was the wrong combine so drove it back to Columbus on another day.

Like others said, haul the heads on a trailer and drive the combine. Friend of mine drove a WD Allis from other side of Little Falls to my place. Said it was a nice little drive. Looks like a pretty darn nice machine for that money. I think I'd make a deal!

Sounds like a good one, but if you miss it, I have a Oliver 7600 with a 318 gas and a 704a corn head running for $500. 7 miles south of Mora, MN.

I probably wouldn't have said that, but I just drove back from St. Croix Falls this afternoon. WAY too much traffic to suit me! Import w/ Cali plates passed me at 75+ in a 55 zone. And I'd love to nail the brakes w/ my F350 when I'm being tailgated...that Schuck drawbar in the reciever would make a good impression in their grill!

My buddy is doing the 2000 mile harvest and he drove one 300 miles with the grain head on a trailer behind him. All in one day. I guess it was tough on the tires though.

If you were located in Mi I'd take that 7600.
