I have located a roto baler that is in good shape and the price is right, but my dilemma is it is 200 mile away and I am not sure how to get it home any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Bring a grease gun, and tow it home with a p/u. Stop and grease once an hour...

You can load them on a wide car-hauler trailer and block one side up,--tighten the load binders down real good!---you need it lifted up so you can just back under it and get it turned as much as possible ----lotta work but I have seen them hauled that way!---A 200 mile tow would take an awful long time!! LOL! thanks; ac fleet

Take header off, take tongue out, and pull axles out. Load on small trailer and come home. Takes about 30 min. 10 bolts to remove. MACK

Orange Blood hauled one from Eastern Ne or Iowa in three major pieces. It's been sitting at my place for a couple years waiting for the owner in Utah to come pick it up. I don't know how long it took to take apart but if the owner doesn't get his act together soon, I may put it together myself.

If it is a white top, the wheels have bearings. I made a receiver hitch that offsets the pull hitch to the side of the truck so it does not stick out as much. I have pulled several with no problems.
