Just wanted to wish you luck I love my JM284 with FEL , Hoe, Tiller and RM finish mower, though not as happy with the china mower though as I could have had a better unit for just a bit more. bad wheels, belt system and blades on them but heavier than many rotary cutters!

Not sure if you can get them into truck and out of truck easy or not? make sure company you are getting them from has a dock or good loading method! also think about HOW you will get it out and assembled . going to be good and COLD then/when you get it. (BURRRR) I had guy come & get one with a flat bed tow truck, cost him 90 bucks to have it picked up & dropped off, guy just lowered gates & let it slide down using the winch. if you have local towing company it may be worth a try, ask and maybe get it on AAA. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think Spiker's suggestion of a flatbed tow truck, would be the best. If you are going with U-haul make sure it is dock height, assuming you are picking-up at a warehouse. A 27 footer is plenty large enough. I used a 24' NONCDRL Diesel Ryder truck, for a 284, fel, hoe, chipper, and rototiller. All fit without getting creative. If you have any decent hills to climb, you will want a diesel, as well. As Spiker says, getting them out of the truck can be the most "fun". If you don't go flatbed towtruck, it is time to buy your buddy with that fork lift, a case or two.

If you havnt placed your order yet you should consider spending alittle more and buying a backhoe from a vender stateside,The factory backhoe is is fair in reliability compared to others,We have had several shear the cylinder ends or have valving issues,If your interested I do Have a crated 304 and a Koyker 160 loader instock for sale www.tractorloft.com

Sorry, I already sent payment in full. I'm getting a Gulin backhoe, which is suppose to be a better backhoe. Where is the 160 Koyker loader manufactured? Is it better and more expensive than the loader that comes with the Jimna 354?
