How many acres are you working to require three of the biggest monsters made for ag work?

D7E · Sep 4, 2007

1400 grain and some logging .

My theory is not to have 1 new 500hp but 3 older ones that don't even come to the same value but will do twice the work when together ?

I didn't know that they painted Steigers red?

All the ones in this area are green... even the old ones.

What kind of value do those hold up there? Being unemployed, I haven't been really looking for one, as my time is better spent researching my case, but I did see one that went recently on ebay that was reasonably close to my Dad and I could probably have afforded it. However, it was over 8'6" wide which makes it an oversize load in the USA. I have a good idea of the rules of trucking it to Florida, but was wondering if anyone had any idea of a way that it could be transported across several states without having to deal with the oversize load restrictions. Pulling it with a tractor might excuse it due to agricultural reasons(?) but a thousand miles might be a long tractor drive. Can ag attachments be hauled with p/u trucks and not conform?
Just wondering in case I get lucky and find one.

My neighbour has a identical one for sale and wants $4000 CAD , I payed $4800 6 years ago , when i bought it i pulled it 150 miles with a 40kph tractor ?

150 miles I can handle, but the 1900 or more to you is just a little more than I want to tackle. Not sure what the conversion rate is for the dollar, but the freight rate would kill the deal.
