Easy.  That’s only 3 or 4 trips back and forth to get it all home!

here is suggestion to go pick up a tractor --- Option #1 get a friend with a pick up truck and ramps to go with you to pick up the tractor -----Option # 2  -- find a friend with a vehicle car or truck with trailer hitch then rent a local Uhaul trailer with ramp -- simple and cheap $ for one day rental. Option # 3 if you want to avoid a round rip with a Uhaul then do a OneWay rental for a Uhaul - pick up trailer near the tractor location destination and simply load it and then return the trailer to local Uhaul location near you. Option # 4 -- rent a van or pick up one day rental from Home Depot -- cheap $ - they have trucks with hitches or just load the tractor in the truck or van -- lots easier if you do not want to rental trailer -- #5 ask around at your work or network of friends - you will likely find someone you know who owns a small tow behind type landscape trailer with ramp thats sitting in their back yard , #6 -- locally here in NYS the Tractor Supply stores have inventory of small trailers for rent or also provide them to customers who have reward points at their store ----  Lastly - - if you load a tractor in a truck suggest you do NOT ride the tractor into pick up instead put in low gear and let the tractor slowly drive up into truck with you guiding it -- Good luck

@Pullstart No, the horse in the picture is a B-100 the 2010 raffle tractor from the Big Show.  RacinBob's Dino tractor is a C-120.  :occasion-xmas:

Never never NEVER ride the tractor up the ramps. Let her make that trip by herself! 

 

@JohnnyMac that C10 is beautiful! :thumbs:

Good enough, thank you. My truck won't handle over 200 lbs. It's also got the original wood bed in it. Took a few of the metal strips out, so I wouldn't put anything valuable within.

I did think of the Home Depot truck rental, if I find something local.

Yup, it's a factory Five mark II body, frame and suspension.

A Ford SB 302 EFI 5.0.

Nothing crazy.

Love the stance on the C-10. I had a '70 years ago, wish I had never sold it.      :text-thankyouyellow:
