Combines Need trailer

Speaking from experience a lowboy would be the best way to go. I have dropped the rear of a K off of a normal trailer. It's not a fun ride!!

Word of caution... Just as sdfarmguy mentioned, hauling a K2 on a standard 8' wide gooseneck can be a scary proposition. I've been there and opted to drive the combine after putting it on the trailer and realizing what a tight fit it actually was and how high it sits when on the trailer. Also, if you have to go thru any rural communities it may not clear elevated service lines. A heavy duty tandem with pintle bumper hitch may be the way to go.

I guess i should have included, that the lowboy style is what my customer is looking for.

I have a friend who might have a year 2000 goose neck trailer for sale. It is 22foot flat deck plus 5 ft dovetail with fold up ramps. Its 8.5ft wide with a 36inch deck height. It has 2 dual 10,000 lb. axles set near the rear of the trailer.

I have hauled these machines and other similar sized combines around to research plots on a 24' tandem dual gooseneck - 8.5' wide. I had the trailer special-made to achieve a lower deck height (31") by piercing the frame for the cross members, and running low profile tires. It's up there, but we have not had any problems getting around. Be sure to pull it with some HP though, as that wind resistance on the windshield is like a brick wall.

It sounds like it will be too good and too $$$ but I would be interested in hearing more.
