how to shift a grain dryer

[sv250]

any ideas as to whether its feasable and legal to shift a mobile dryer on trailer behind pickup. about 8 foot wide 12foot high in the middle and about 1500kg

You'll be fine, I dragged one home from @spin cycle out by the coast, I even had a plod car follow me for quite a way and despite the odd branch and a constant stream of leaves and twigs raining down behind me he didn't bother pulling me.

I'm a firm believer in JFDI.

the only thing plod could say is how wide it is,,,, although the 8 feet is the same as a lorry ,,, you can only be 9 inches wider each side than the towing vechicle but thought if you treated like a wide load on a lorry and had markers lights warning board etc ,,, think be ok ,,,, have move many things like that with no problems ,,,always belive if you make it look rite and are sensible you be left alone

Like this.
No problem,
Wide low trailer though,

Another one this summer, you have to take of top part of centre auger, lift with two forklifts, back trailer under, take wheels of, stand on legs as low as possible, plenty of straps.
Good luck
