Tractor Shipping

socal996 · Dec 18, 2019

Looking for a Kubota L series tractor, likely a 2501 or 3301, but living in rural MT the used market is limited. I've expanded my search to include as far as Portland. Does anyone have experience with having a tractor with implements shipped? Recommendations?

Thanks

I purchased a new L2501 HST last summer due to the scarcity of decent used ones at a reasonable (or any) price. I went with the lower power to avoid the Tier 4 hassle. It seems used grey market tractors are not a good value as parts availability is always an issue.

Yes, if anyone has has a good experience with a shipper I'd contact them for a quote. At the end of the day, may not be cost effective, but worth taking a look. Thanks

I’ve used uShip | Car Shipping, Furniture Delivery, and More | Shipping Made Easy before several times with good results. I also just passed an RLCarriers truck that claimed they ship anything anywhere and had pictures of boats and a small plane as examples.

probably just $1000 to ship from California to New York, shorter distances will usually be a bit less..

used to be a shipping wars show on tv about shippers bidding on loads. lowest bidder wins.
their rates were between $2.00 to $3.00 a mile

I had a 20,000 pound bulldozer shipped from North Carolina to central Texas and the bill was about $2,500 but I was dealing directly with the freight company. I used a freight broker when I had a boom lift shipped, I'll try to find the email of the guy.
