    It should fold up. But you need a bucket trough and a boom well. I’ve only ever had one I had to haul like that and it was an old liebherr. Just another example of inexperienced guys buy a mechanical detach and thinking they have an rgn.

    Looks to me like it will. The grapple looks small enough to slide under if you need it. I’ll be curious to see how that looks on your truck.

    What happened? Did the shipper see that and not let him leave?

    I recall telling one of my partners at the shop one morning I had cranked my riding lawnmower, and one of the steer tires was low. I had aired it up and and gonna recheck. He was stunned, Roger; it is January and it snowed last week, and you are cranking a lawn mower. I said sure, it's in the storage garage and don't know what the weather is ,why?Then told him I fished in the rain sometime, fish were wet all time... Walked way around behind me to leave....

    I cranked it once a month and let run 15 / 20 minutes. In spring, changed oil, sharpened blade, and cut grass anytime I wanted too.
    (Bought it for $720./00 from TSC store here, in 92/93. Girls gave me a bagging attachment for it a year or so later as birthday present. Cut a big yard (150" x 300') space in season, replaced tires, belts, one deck hub, and replaced blades E/O year. No labor cost ever. Wife of couple buying house ask realtor if the rider went with the house .
    Told her say yes, for $500.00.
    At closing in May 2015, she leaned over the desk and said. "Oh, We want the mower to, and slid a check for $500.00 across. (It was a Murray brand.)

    I think I got similar reactions running a two snowplow tractor up to operating temperature in July outside the shop

    Got to looking around. It’s a 19’ stick. It will have to go like that or the stick will have to come off. If you ship it like that you will need a 4 axle truck to make weight.
