Importing a New Machine From The USA

[green giant]

As @Alf said what about engine? Don't want it stuck on the docks like a few Challengers ended up, guess it's different if it's used

 

[Roger Perry]

From that perspective buying a lightly used one might work better, these things are just regular trucks with a few added bits...pto/wet line/ etc.

Too small ?

I think I may have mentioned it a couple of years ago, but I thought it would be too much hassle.

Having had two years of hassle and looking like plenty more to come with the bloody thing I decided to buy two years ago I'm thinking again.

Wheel equipment isn't big enough for my liking.

It's probably all wishful thinking, but I'm just mulling over options.

Surely you could get one with another axle, whether passive or powered.

Getting it in as agricultural is the big sticking point here.
No problem getting them in as trucks with all taxes to be paid including commercial road tax/white diesel. If you push for agricultural it may well sit for a while. Hopefully the UK will be totally different, but know of a few here that were sitting quite a while.
Yes she's in as a tractor ...............

How do you get that classified as a tractor, say it's main use is agricultural?

That does look a capable machine and I'd like to know more about it @tractorbob please.

What machine are you not happy with?

 

[Steiger325]

You need to look into it quite well as there are various pitfalls . CE , Type approval, road width for taxation , emissions . No practical problems in shipping a truck like this , just beurocratic crap to allow you to legally put it to work and not leave yourself exposed. I can put you in touch with good shippers , or we could ship it , but contrary to a comment on here a lump like this is not cheap to ship especially if it is in the midwest , trucking is not cheap , across the water is . We did have dealings with an oddball lime spreader last year and that all came in and is working ok . Good luck

Can Case IH help out at all @Cab-over Pete ?

They look good there don't they?

They are good machines and there is one in the UK

But it is massive! Much wider than even the Big A

Go big or go home Pete!

What about an articulated dump truck Pete - Remove the skip and plonk a spreading body on it ......?
