Tractor shipping costs?

[Fastbuck101]

Hi y'all, Got a question for ya, I'm in New Mexico, bought some property in MN, and really need my tractor there for a few months! Anybody have any idea how much it would cost to ship? or who would do it? About 1600 miles. Many thanks in advance-

Maybe consider renting a tractor in MN for the duration ???
1600 miles ONE WAY I assume, so x2 for shipping.....that could be pricey !!!

Yeah, I've looked around, not many tractors with grapples for rent, and even if there were, probably looking at a couple grand a month. I'm bout done with it done with in NM, thought about selling it in MN when I'm done. Can ya tell I miss my Kubota??

I had a Kubota M62 TLB shipped for a friend last October.
A private "hot shot"
$2.25(?) per loaded mile.

I was thinking around $2/mi. Sell in NM, buy in MN, haul grapple in your pickup.

Other way around, but yeah, I was thinking about that. Not sure which market is better, will have to check on that.

Put it on uship. Dont need to except any offers. Than copy names down . Call in person later on cash offers. 1200-2400 about right

Some have had good luck with UShip,...some have not!

I wont use them at all…. But i do put stuff out to bid to see prices. I absolutely will not use brokers.. i ask right up front. Are you the driver picking up? If not bye bye. Not hard to figure out companies or drivers to get in touch with myself.

You talking an L2501? If you're driving up there haul it on a trailer. Weighs about 4K # with loader and grapple.

Perhaps using your shipping money to purchase a used trailer and move it yourself. When you are through with the trailer sell it too.

Now THAT is a GREAT idea ! well assuming YOU are driving back and forth......... When done with the haul, SELL the trailer and you'll recoup a lot of coins.
Had a friend buy 'one way' trailers in Florida to haul his 'stuff' (yard sale treasures ) back here, then he'd sell the trailer or give to his kids.
