KyBlue 655 #26 Posted January 31, 2009 Jerrell, I think Id give your local towing company a call.. find one that does heavy truck and equipment recovery.. It wont be cheap, but it'll be fast, and alot easier than cribbing, or using a FEL. Alot of these guys are like surgeons with those big tow rigs... If you go this route, I would suggest having everything cut and ready to pull out, to minimize the time on site for the tow guy.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KyBlue 655 #27 Posted January 31, 2009 BTW these trailers are NOT light... I know my 53' Spread Axle reefer that is on loan to a buddy comes in at over 20k... Your dry vans...probably 15k or so.. BE CAREFUL! Ya cant collect WH's if yer Squished like a bug! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noncritical 5 #28 Posted February 1, 2009 good idea you are also going to need a torch or sawzall to cut off the icc bumper torch would be real handy to cut the rears out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerrell 1 #30 Posted February 12, 2009 :thumbs: It's been raining and averaging around 45 to 70 degrees even had a couple of torandoes around here for the last couple of weeks, and the seller is getting sorta discouraged , wanting them moved , told him he would get his tractor stuck if he brought them out now and he seemed to want to forget the whole thing i think he has someone else willing to pay more for them now, told me he would give me my money back if he couldn't move them within the next week,,,but this ground is wet and i don't have a space for him to drop them and move them later... :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #31 Posted February 12, 2009 Jerrel hope everything falls in place for you. Can he deliver & leave them parked along the drive till you can make further arrangements? Got a farmer buddy around with a tractor & a log chain? Hate to see you miss out on these...it make for a interesting shop build to follow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
