Haulin some Yanmars

scoutcub · Jan 8, 2012

Moved some machines from OH to MI in the last several weeks. These were from a dealer that decided not to carry the Yanmar line. They have 3 other name brands at the dealership, so perhaps that's why.
Moved 9 machines to MI, and 4 more to my house.

Didn't buy all four, though...

350+ miles each way, Truck/trailer did a great job. One little glitch with the trailer on load #2.....

(see post about tightening lug nuts)

You should have posted about this before you hauled them. I am sure you could have found some good homes that would have been willing to adopt them them. Like mine.:laughing:

Nice rig by the way.:thumbsup: What kind of mileage do you get with that load?

I definately would have helped "lighten" the load. I would take the bigger Yanmar please!

Nice rig!

Yes...I was trying to conjure up a way they could have got "stolen" and ended up in my field....lol. And my other brilliant idea was to put a huge "for sale" sign on the side of them, do some roadside advertising, maybe sell a few on the trip....but I didn't think of it till I got there...

Thanks. Seems like everytime I head out with a load, the wind picks up to 20-30 mph...headwind both ways.... Just my luck.
I was getting around 9 MPG loaded, 11-12 unloaded. Trailer alone is 7K!
