What are these trailers used forhauling grain, moving heads, or moving the combineIJ The only combine trailers we see around these parts are those mainly used for hauling heads. Is that what you are looking forIJ Thanks for helping a city kid turned farmer. Tom in MN

I don't know North Carolina's DOT limitations (height 13-6"IJ). Assuming your K gleaner and 330 head are weighing near 10,000-11,000lbs, you can use a gooseneck trailer with 2 10k axles behind a dually ton truck. A 22 foot flat deck plus a 5 foot beaver with ramps works good. If the deck is low profile (30" height) where they pierce the ibeams for the cross channels and have the wood decking level with the top of ibeams, then your K gleaner is only raised 30" off the ground. Regular trailers are about 35-37" tall on deck heights. They need wheel well cut outs for the combine drive tires. Make sure your K combine has good brakes or an add-on hydro for safe loading on beaver tail. 8.5 feet wide trailer is good for combine and corn head width. You can find these trailers on web under gooseneck trailers search. $5000-$6500 new. Many are built in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas... Jantz Femco in lincoln, NE will build you a lower transport trailer with detachable upper decking for around $10,000-15,000. In 1986, I used one and it only raised the combine 12". Very nice trailer, but very expensive! I have seen some tilt trailers with a 15" height used for combines. These trailers are designed with larger 4"x10"x3_4"angle iron frames located on outsides of the decking. Single wheel low pro axles are used in 2 or 3 axle combos. Tires are outside of the decking, so they can get wide. If width is not a limitation, then they are cheaper than Jantz Femco.
