Dad is giving me his B7200, looking for transport company

[Ironforger]

Hello,

My dear ol dad is giving me his 1989 Kubota B7200HST-4WD hydro. It has a front end loader and fairly low 700 hours. Pretty good condition.

He's in Florida, I'm in NJ. Can anyone recommend a transport company? I was thinking of one of those cross country auto transporters but I'm not sure if that's the right way to go.

Thanks!

Your response was great help jeff ? Anyway there are a bunch of haulers out there . Go to yesterdays tractors . com and look for hauling . Do not deal with a broker . Most of these people are honest or the internet would eat them up . Hope to help , Kevin .

Ironforger.
We have used Bestways twice in hauling heavy equipment, very good to do business with and very fair prices. Not sure if they haul in your area being a west coast company but most trucking firms are nationwide..Good Luck with the move and congrads on getting your Dad's tractor. My brother and I still have our Dad's JD40C and would not part with it for anything!

I'd get a trailer and go get it.

I've used uship.com a couple times with good success.

I'm with JCummins. I'd get a trailer and pay a visit to Pops, then bring the gear home. Save money, see the family. Win/Win. That's not a huge tractor, so towing should be pretty easy if you have a truck or SUV.

Can try uship.com. Can find movers for anything, and they bid to get your move. Used it once to ship a baby grand piano. They did a great job and cost less than half what a transport company wanted, with all the proper licenses, certifications and all.

I am registered with Uship as a transporter. I pretty much will stay home I I can't get a dollar a mile after Uship fees. You will find others that will basically haul for gas money maybe to get home. A B7200 with FEL is not a big tractor. A tandem axle 16 foot utility trailer should suffice nicely. I hauled my B3200 on such a trailer with no brakes on the trailer. You will be less that 5,000 lbs unless he has implements to add to the list. Drive to FL, buy a local trailer off Craigs List and take it home. You will most likely want a trailer anyway. Just a thought. Been hauling my 7510 since 2007.
