will a John Deere 30 combine fit on a gooseneck trailer without taking off wheels or is it too wide to fit at all? how would you haul it? thanks Howard

Not be a smarta$$. But, a tapemeasure works well for this.

That"s what I was think"in too...I"ve been trying to come up with a good way to haul mine,,I don"t think there is a good way. I wanted to haul my #30 to Rantual next year to pull with my 60C in beans...

Well,
I sold one to a guy from Idaho several years ago. I am from Illinois. It took him two trips to figure out how to haul it. He made a "wing" deck for the RH side of his trailer to hold up the RH wheel. We helped him load it using two loader tractors. So, yes it can be done, but be prepared to work at it. I really hated to sell it, as it had been barn kept it's whole life and was in perfect condition. I bought it for $50.00. Couldn't pass it up. But shed space is at a premium on the farm, so something had to go. Plus my brother wouldn't let me use it to play around in $18.00 soybeans (organic). It would have looked nice behind my 530 or 630.

I've hauled several over the years.Best to use a rollback and a block of wood for the right side axle to slide on.We used a block of wood with a notch cut into it for the axle to set then winched it on.I have hauled them on a gooseneck trailer if a loader tractor is available to guide it on the trailer.

No it won't, the wheel on the passenger side sticks over a foot.You need a block under the axle.

I pulled mine a few years ago with my 60 in wheat running with our 9560, your right about barn space, I have a barn down the road rented for a Toy Box....We use to do custom work with one back in the day..it still does a fine job...

I'm sure if I tried to haul mine to Rantual like that some one with a Badge would stop me and give me a dozen reasons why I couldn't....
