Yes that was last years challenge. Wife wanted a new camping fifth wheel that required a truck upgrade. Now have a one ton dually. I will get some quotes and decide what to do. Thanks for everyone's input.

Drive out in the Dually. Rent a Û-Haul trailer and bring the unit home.

You sure your trailer isn't rated for 6K?

My little 18' car trailer is.

Just a warning to make sure that deal is not a scam. It is not a dealer is it?
Not a scam, [AFFILIATE=1, nofollow=true, newwindow=true, title="Kubota"]Kubota[/AFFILIATE] Dealer. Zero down a Zero interest, so I have not paid a cent out of pocket. (yet).

If it is a [AFFILIATE=1, nofollow=true, newwindow=true, title="Kubota"]Kubota[/AFFILIATE] dealer like you mentioned, is there any chance they would be able to get you a decent deal on shipping, or a good deal on delivering it to you ? Wouldn,t hurt to ask.

Does uHaul rent something you can put 6200# on?
You can put twice that on/in this one.

That is exactly what I had my L4630 with attachments hauled from Florida to Vermont in.
I paid a friend in Florida to drive it up and then paid to fly him home.
It was a smidge under 1400 miles and i think with all expenses it was $2000.
Had to deflate the rear tires to get it in and out of the box and unload it backed up to a bank to so it could drive straight out.
Since that was 8 years ago the total costs will likely be double or more.
