How did I do Kubota M9000?

[sparkkky]

Picking up my Kubota M9000 with a 546 Bushog or should it be Brush hog loader, 1210 Hrs, QD bucket and pallet forks, two rear remotes, and a sunshade on a folding ROPs $18750.00.

Should I remove or fold the shade to trailer? Got a 20' car hauler with one axle brakes and two 7000lb axles. Is that too much trailer or will two 5200 or 6000 do? And is the grade 73 5/6" chain good enough to tie down tractor?

You got a very good deal. Bush Hog is the brand. Use Grade 70 transport chain with a ratchet binder on each corner.
By all means use the 14K rated trailer. Remember a on a 14K trailer you have to back off the actual weight of the trailer to determine your actual loading capacity.

Don't fold the ROPS. I think the canopy is fine to leave one if it was properly installed and all bolts are secure.

Got 5/16" grade 70 chain is that good?

 

[LeadPoison]

Sounds good to me.

Make sure you have at least a 3/4 ton pickup to haul it with. How long is the tow?

Got a 2004 250 4x4 Super Duty Crew Cab so I should be fine over 500 miles.

You are good to go. I would load it up drive a bit. Stop and recheck chains to compensate for any settling or shifting.

Thanks LP on another thread a guy was talking about 14tons.(?) and a goose neck.

Sorry about that sparky, that was supposed to be 12 or 14 k, not tons. The brain to finger distance must be too long for me!

By the way, good deal on the equipment.
