Importing old tractor from Canada

[startinghandle]

I am looking into the possibility
of importing an old John Deere
tractor from Canada as there is
better exchange rate than USA

Getting it across the sea is surprisingly cheap

I used to be involved in importing from Canada. There is a container ship that sails between Halifax Nova Scotia and Liverpool every week. If it will go in a container that’s easy but you could be able to get something bigger on (I only used containers)

The truck from Liverpool to Wiltshire was more expensive than crossing the Atlantic

I often consider it, different choice of machinery type ...and no rust in classic stuff being advantageous

Flat rack container ? I'm sure I've seen combines and diggers etc on them..... but no stacking above of course if it's that big.

Im sure there are options. The alternative is one of the car transport ships that come into Southampton they definitely carry tractors and combines but they May not go to Canada.

Stoped 15years ago but my brothers and I were bringing hard wood flooring in from New Brunswick. It did well for a while but the farm started to take more time and the uk market changed to wanting a different product.
