| I hauled a G gleaner once. Very nerve racking. Was within inches of some power lines. And top heavy on our fifth wheel trailer. Don't ever want to do it again |

| Height on a low pro 30" trailer deck should be near or just under 13'6", so it is good for interstate's 15' overpasses. Loading that gleaner K on the trailer backward is not an easy task. Notice, there are no mirror on the K's mirror frames. How did the operator see to steer it up onto the trailer backwards??? Looks like a great combine, platform, & corn head package though. |

He probably took the mirrors off. I've broken a few going down the road. Vehicle ahead of you kicks up a rock... And they aren't cheap to replace either! He was probably SWEATING that trooper too. LOL Hope he made his destination with no troubles! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

| I hauled three different Gleaner E's on my deck over. I called a machinery dealer after measuring and told him where I was going. I had 13.5 and he said I was good. The only problem would be a coupla stop lights and he said he just pulls over to the side with taller stuff to miss the lights and keep rolling. I think the interstates are over 14' |
