Good morning!!!!

No CDL. 9990 max weight allowed
truck will pull 17K on the ball and 28K on the gooseneck, but
with a plain jane license, everyone and their brother has told me the above.

I did just put a bid in on UShip. Very easy to do. Will report how it works.

Most of the CDL weight laws apply to commercial hauling. Have you checked directly with your DMV? As a non commercial person hauling you own load you may see different limits. Like hauling a 5th wheel, race car, boat or horse trailer.

Hazy, hot and humid. The Northern VA area is in summers grip. Good to be back home. Love the air. It is so --- different.

It worked pretty good for me when planning the move to Vermont...but we ended up putting everything on the moving van (big straight body truck).
However, my 4400 probably isn't as big as your Kubota.

Just make sure whoever moves your equipment is adequately insured and that you are the beneficiary.

Good morning all, 75F this morning with the high the today at 75F also. Did more setup for yard sale, and more garbage found.

70 going to 93. Actually feels pretty nice outside considering 98% humidity.

Drew, can't remember if you got multiple bids, but hope so...and split into bids for furniture vs tractors. I believe there can be a significant range in pricing, even among reputable movers.

Heading to lunch with a group of fellow employees today - unfortunately one was RIFed so it's mixed emotions.

Hot and humid today, 92 they say.
Drew, what kind of tractor do you have that's 26' long? As for hauling your own stuff, no CDL needed, I do it all the time, well, 3-4 times a year.

57 and sunny not so humid today with a high of 74 today.I will work in the yard today.

Warm & humid this morning, headed to around 90 with a line of t-storms passing through this afternoon.

In the "I'm not as perfect as I used to be" department, the problem with the Husky chainsaw is someone ??? put bar oil in the gas tank. Oops. :laughing: I left it at the shop for a carb clean out and post-break in tune up.

Drew: I think the magic number for a CDL is 26K lbs of truck, or combination of truck and trailer, gross weight. As far as I know, you should be able to drive for personal use as long as you stay below that number. Maine for example, requires a commercial registration for trucks with a gross weight rating above 10K lbs., but that doesn't mean you need a CDL to drive it. Maybe something like that is introducing confusion.

I need to shuffle the garage around to get the table saw out where I can use it to make some minor trim woodwork. Probably a good day to do that.

3H's for today,boomers late afternoon maybe strong..good day to keep low profile.

even if I could tow over 10K, there aren't any trailers locally that are long enough.
The Case IH with mower attached is 22 feet long. The Kubota ,kinda guessing here, at 26, maybe 28 feet long with FEL and mower.

got a quote of $2K to haul both tractors and attached mowers to NC. Sounds about half of what the moving van people quoted.
Waiting for moving guys to requote just household goods. I think I'll have the tractors taken down commercially and I can load the implements on my trailer and make several trips.
