VEHICLE TRANSPORT · GRAND VALLEY
Tractors, harvesting equipment and construction machinery need a plan for dimensions, loading, rural access and the route. Grand Valley helps review the details before transport is confirmed.
THE SHORT ANSWER
A machine’s working dimensions can differ from its transport dimensions. Booms, headers, buckets and other attachments may need to be folded, lowered, removed or carried separately. Confirm the manufacturer guidance and tell us the proposed transport configuration. Pickup may be at a farm, auction, dealer or work site. Rural roads, overhead restrictions, ground conditions and the space needed to load can all influence the equipment and schedule.
