You’re not getting a back load for a combine.
Back loads don’t even exist anyway.
Educated guess you are looking at £6/700

Wouldn't have thought that would cover the diesel for a big truck?

I have no idea of transport costs in the UK & I KNOW it is completely different countries & therefore not comparable, but I would have thought that was cheap.

Last year I paid $2500 to bring a tractor from Goondiwindi, about 300 km away. Admittedly, that did also include an escort vehicle

Just ring Mark Watson and get a proper price, rather than a gess,

What's this back load thingy, for a combine

Another alternative is Richard Long Ltd.

Rainthorpes of Lincoln, or Cox's (Coxinental) of Hull would be 2 good alternatives.

2 quid a mile for an oversize load, surely not?

My grain truck fully loaded will burn a litre every 2.5 kms that’s at 6o mph flat open roads. If I had to guess at the fuel used to go 310 miles up hills and thru traffic and small villages I’d say youd be close to 250 litres. The wind drag also from a combine would be considerable You wouldn’t see much change from a thousand pounds just to cover costs.

 

[Farmer Fin]

Sharp Transport at Lockerbie. Took a combine up for us last year.

Might get it shifted by Phil Reid at Keith if he's heading South. I'll pm you his number. He's a good chap.

 

[JLTate]

£1,500 - £1,750 my guess!

 

[Chae1]

£1,500 my guess!

You get it on your Scania?

id have thought double that

 

[Highland Mule]

Get in touch with @agricontract pdq and you might get a chance of a back load. He’s presumably getting his Claas taken up by lorry for the charity run from JoG down.

Alternatively, just make a weekend of it and form a convoy. 4th June, iirc. 310 miles to Cheshire suggests a bit north of Perth, so you might not even have that early a start on the Sunday.
