Hello All --
Upgraded from a Kubota 3540 to a Case Farmall 75C just a few weeks ago... looking to upgrade from my small drum mower and side delivery rake...
I found a John Deere 1209 swather and a 10-wheel V-rake that is decently priced but he's about 70 miles away. I have a 25-foot flat car trailer.....
Does anyone have tips/techniques for transporting hay equipment? Tongue off the swather and somehow load it sideways? Not sure how to manage...would prefer to get everything in one trip but certainly able to make two trips if safety requires it.
(also, any comments on the 1209? I was originally looking for a NH 489 or 492....but...this looks to be a good price, etc)
thanks!
