Nicely road legal then ...

Says it’s heading to New Mexico where the customer will couple it up to a Fendt.

Keep your eyes peeled for it on the Wreckers thread in a few weeks.

You would be surprised. I was looking at bringing a vintage Peterbilt over from the US and the cost of port-to-port shipping was only $1500 on a RoRo boat. The customs fees to the shipping agent and road transport at either end was over 75% of the total cost.

With the weak pound I'll bet it's a lot more cost-effective than you might think.

That's one thing you boys do well. Certain applications where your trailers are a handy item to have. Got a few used Baileys floating around these parts .

 

[Robt]

yes but they are exporting so paying in euros/dollars!

Yea but I believe the trailer is 9ft wide so you have over size permits for it state side of say 8000 is about rite, knowing what it cost to ship 2 9ft Tri axle Smyth's to Ontario

You can see the tipping pipe on the floor going somewhere else other then the 135 coupling!! Wonder what would happen when it reached the top with some silage stuck in the back door.....

 

[Frankzy]

Tempted to buy one.... Do ya think one will be enough for our 20 hectares or do we need 2 of them?
