snowhound 103 #1 Posted December 8, 2015 Has anyone trucked a tractor with a cab on it? I would be going about 11 miles with a top speed of 45 mph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MalMac 1,328 #2 Posted December 8, 2015 It will beat it up. I seen one going way less than that and it tore it up but good. I would suggest taking all covering off including the top. leave the frame but everything else off. If you don't take the top off it will catch a lot of wind. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
608KEB 794 #3 Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I hauled one about 15 miles. I didn't go over 25 mph. I took back roads. I would take the canvas off. Edited December 8, 2015 by 608KEB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,814 #4 Posted December 8, 2015 I hauled mine several miles @35 MPH with no problem. It did have the glass windshield I have hauled boats with full stand up canvas for years with no problems at 35 MPH. Above 35 seems to be where things start to flap and get nasty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougC 2,641 #5 Posted December 8, 2015 If you know anybody with an enclosed trailer it would be worth trying to bribe them to haul it for you or rent an enclosed U-haul if you plan on infrequent hauling. Otherwise I agree with the consensus of removing the panels and roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,947 #7 Posted December 8, 2015 It's really not hard to take the panels and roof off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowhound 103 #8 Posted December 8, 2015 Thanks for the replies, I thought removing the panels and roof would be the way to go but wanted to know what others thought and yes the handyman's secret weapon would hold it together but removing it might prove fatal to the panels.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
