I purchased a round baler at auction (Hesston 560) and now need to transport 350 miles.
The baler is just a hair over 9 feet wide.
Please give advice on my options:
1. 8' wide flat-bed with two axles, dually wheels; would require wide-load permits in two states and I'm still not sure how it would fit on the trailer
2. Hire it transported
3. Road transport by changing the tires to road tires; Still would require wide-load permits
4. Remove the wheels from the baler to bring under max. width, but would require heavy equipment to load/unload
And if you want to point out that I should've thought of this before bidding, get in line behind my wife!
How would you go about thinking about this problem?
