    Not sure why they gave you greif about the beam? I've never loaded one on a deck.

    Hydraulic all the way up, put blocks under the horse wheels, blocks under the bowl cutting edge, lower trailer to blocks, lift back end with machine, drop trailer all the way, remove neck, pull trailer out from under load, put one 12"X up against the 24" to step machine off blocks instead of jumping down the whole way...
    You'll be fine. Remember, it's not a job, it's and Adventure!
    Oh yeah, make sure there's no train on that bridge when you go under it, trains are heavy! Heavy enough to deflect bridges!

    I’ve always loaded them the other way. With the rear tires on the bolsters.

    @Humblepie , you must understand that these two fellows @Rontonio and @Heavy Hammer are what they call mazoch maschosist, masokis, #$%##& they just like pain. So they find a difficult machine, put it on a trailer with no deck, and then spend 1/2 a day getting it loaded in the snow or the heat depending which of the two were talking about. Then they drive for days on end, ducking overpasses and and crossing RR tracks at 27 degree angles, climbing supers in big sweeping curves just to get somewhere to spend another couple hrs getting the beast off. I, like you always did it the easy way because I was a lazy sob. 637selma.jpg 631 on 9.jpg

    Cheater!
    I'm not sadomasochistic, I like a challenge.
    In other words...I'm greedy!
    Or as @Rontonio calls me, a horse without the S.


    PS: I have a deck as well, I just don't like it

    Wouldn’t call it lazy. Just no point in making extra work. I have a different combination and run a different area. So I don’t know if it had to be loaded like that for weight issues or what. But it would have been shorter overall height the other way around. But as long as it gets moved and all the pieces parts make it with it.

    Out of curiosity why did you load them like you did in the second picture? Weight distribution?
