Several variables, which include size, weight, running/not running, and what part of the country the tractor is in, and what part you are in, how big a pain in the rear the seller/buyer are...etc.
I paid $40 to get one 7K tractor home, $250 for another, both less than 25 miles. The more expensive one was due to almost twice the weight and 13'3" width, plus 2 million dollar liability insurance to load it. (they ended up settling for $500k, but required their guy to load it, driver was not allowed out of the truck until the tractor was loaded)

I agree with David.
You could request a quote here: Hauling Ads - Yesterday's Tractor Co. or here: uShip - The Online Shipping Marketplace - Ship Freight, Furniture, Cars or Moves

I would also suggest uship, especially if it is a long move. I had a Kubota 3600 shipped from Arizona to Missouri for about $800 about 5 years ago, which was the best deal I could find. Prices have probably gone up. Regular shipping companies did not even try to compete with them. It came on a car hauler with a Hummer and a sports car!
I'm not familiar with the other service you mentioned but it's already listed on uShip, even though I have not purchased it yet. I posted this thread as an additional means to get a ballpark estimate of what it may cost.

I was unaware that uShip had an estimator. So my ballpark estimate of $300-$500 was pretty close afterall. This opens up a lot of possibilities and will allow me to expand my available options considerably.

Could be
.I'd low ball 'em and see what happens. Maybe that goofball rookie who's on the Shipping Wars TV show will put in a bid that you can live with
