RE: (ET) ET transporting

["Pieter Litchfield" <plitch attglobal net>]

The last time I moved mine I got an open  4x8 utility trailer from U-haul.
The tractor fit fine with a bucket loader.  Just disconnect the mower and
lash it to one side of the trailer.

Subject: (ET) ET transporting


Hello all, once I again I must pick brains instead of feeding them....

It's getting time for me to go pick up my E15. The dilemma is HOW to get it
down here to Houston from Arkansas. Ideally, I'd prefer to fly up there,
rent something, and transport the E15 down here.

So, any ideas on WHAT to transport it??

The U-Haul car trailers aren't fully covered over (just rails for a car's
tires) so a E15 doesn't fit.

Most of the ramps on the U-haul trucks appear way to narrow to "drive" the
ET up the ramp.

Ryder's ramps are a little wider (27"), and another does have a lift
(measures 60" long, 33" deep).

I know I can disconnect the front mower, but what's the outside tire 
"width"
on an E15 for the front and rear? Any other ideas? Remember, this puppy has
no power, too.

Thanks to all,

Don Barry
