Pickup Big Enough for BX?

[RonR]

Agree with the trailer needed, but one time on the interstate, I was passed by a dodge pickup with a BX and FEL in the bed. No MMM or BH, but it looked like a tight fit. The FEL was over the end gate.

If you can haul a BX in the bed of a 1/2 ton pick up then why can't you pull a trailer with a bx 0n it with that same truck ? ?

In 2003 I bought a new BX1500 with loader, MMM, and bagger attachment. I got everything but the bagger in the back of a 2003 Ford F-150 pickup. I had to come back for the bagger attachment. I raised the loader bucket up high and had the Kubota dealer pick up the tractor with a forklift and set it in the pickup bed with the loader bucket over the truck cab. I had to strap the back of the tractor down to the trailer hitch because the loader almost came down and hit the truck roof when hitting the pickups brakes. I got some interesting looks from those at the dealership when I was loaded up and heading home with my new tractor.

This one seems easy. He doesn't even have a truck so there's no reason to try and figure out how to stuff a pick-up with a tractor that is probably to big, if not too cumbersome. As mentioned, a u-haul will do the trick with ease and not much more expense. Or, even a small truck or SUV or Crown Vic for that matter could pull it on a basic and fairly small rented or borrowed utility trailer.

It appears that the BX by itself fits perfectly in the bed. It also seems that the bed would be too small for the BX to also have either the MMM or the 3ph mounted blower/bagger attached, and especially too small if both are on the tractor. Would you agree with this assessment?

Turned out I was able to get the seller to deliver the tractor on his trailer. I still had to drive the 800 miles to close the deal, but it was a sunny Saturday driving across the hills of Pennsylvania. Leaves were in full color. The reason UHaul wasn't used was simply price. They charge about $1/mile.

So the u haul would have been about $400.00 rite?

Easy Guys,

He had a plan and figured it out in a way that suited him. He's now a happy tractor owner and were all happy he is.... right? Sometimes the road to good intentions can lead to.... well you know.... the Kioti forum. Certainly you folks know I'm kidding. PS: I Love anything that works... especially my 20 year old son... and i have no doubt this post will be pulled. Enjoy.
