Buying Advice Cost to transport B2601?

[VaGlock]

Found a used 2019 B2601 with FEL /BH that is what I am wanting but it is 350 miles away, was wondering how much I might expect to pay to have it transported to my place? I do not have a way to transport it. it would be a mostly intestate haul.
Thanks

Probably $2 per loaded mile,..... depending on where you live.
Entering you general location in your profile would be a good idea.

I paid $1100 for a 450 mile haul from Eastern Pa. 6 years ago.
I think you may do a bit better,..... maybe just over $700 for 350 miles?

That sounds reasonable, would save me over $7000 over buying new.

No sales tax either!

Yes, a plus for sure.

Wish you weren't so far from me, I'd be in for a ride to help save you some coin! 4 hrs from you puts the squeeze in it! Sounds like good deal. Get several quotes from brokers.

One positive is that this is a light weight combo and it's not an exceptionally long trip. Anyone with a car hauler trailer can safely transport. Have any friends with classic cars and a hauler willing to do for a fee?

I am trying to think of some options now, any guess on the weight of B2601 with FEL and BH?

There is an old thread where 2 individuals put the weight around 3,200 to 3,500 pounds depending on filled tires. I found an article on the tractor and loader/bucket to be 2,375 pounds.

Thanks, that is close enough, I just needed an estimate to give to a hauler who asked.

For reference, I paid $1000 cash to have my new LX3310 shipped to me, 400 miles one way.

That is about right.
$2.50 per loaded mile.

I have never used it, but when i was not having much luck finding what i wanted locally i was looking at national sales sites and they had links to fr8star and the prices were fairly reasonable for rolling stock such as a tractor. probably worth checking for an estimate to start with.
