I'm searching the sales pages for a tractor ( about 50 hp ).
I've been thinking I'd retrieve it once purchased with my truck and trailer. I have a 18', 7000 lb car hauler ( with operational brakes ) with a load capacity of 5100 lbs. My F150 rates out as able to haul 7200 lbs. The trailer is 2600 lbs, so, I should be able to haul a 4600 lb tractor. Many I'm looking at will be under this benchmark.
Now, if there a mower, wheel weights, loader, blade, etc. this will be a issue. Also, I have 82" between the wheel wells. This may be a problem depending on the model. Do I prepared the spin the rear wheels in to fit the trailer?
I'd really like to be able to make a cash offer and haul away the merchandise. Things will get complicated if I need to pay for it and later have a transport company come pick it up. I don't see a good way to execute this this plan.
Am I missing something here or just overthinking things? How have others gotten the machine home?
