| Would a Donahue implement trailer haul a All Crop model 72? I would like to back it on over the hitch. Thanks |

A 72 will have the roller bearing wheels right? why not just pull it? ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Going to look at one today. Will bring a tape measure. My 72 is early with bushings. Thanks for the agtalk site. Another place to visit. I did find the discussion on trailering the All Crop. I have pulled it down the road, which would be the easiest. Loading on a 8 foot wide trailer is nerve racking. The tires are split down the middle. The Donahue I am looking at is only eight feet wide. But not as far to fall if I miss. I have other implements to haul as well. Thanks for the help

Any 102” wide trailer will work. No dismantling required . Just have the hang over on the right side on put on a couple of flags and/or flashers. In the pictures is a 66 All Crop. The tread spacing should be the same on the 72 has the 66. The header will over hang an extra 6”-8”.    Sorry for the image size ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |

I hauled my 1969 72 All-Crop on my 102" Deckover. One plus you have going for you is the wheel tread is actually narrower on the bushing models than on the later roller bearing models. For me, I was able to get the bin side tire entirely on the trailer, and the header side tire over half on. I was just over flush with the trailer edge on the drivers side, and on the passenger side,the header hung over plenty - probably close to 2 feet total (could be less with the bushing wheels as I don't know if the later ones were widened equally on each side). After it was loaded, made blocks under each side of the axle so it could be bound down tight and avoid bouncing. As DennisA suggests, I put magnetic flashers on it and made the 360 mile trip without issue - no trouble at all. Personally, I wouldn't even attempt it on a 96" wide trailer, but it may be possible.

| Thanks for all of the ideas. I would be hauling the All Crop on a regular basis during the growing season. Not comfortable loading it on a trailer with the tires overhanging. Looked at a Donahue Implement trailer and with a few modifications should work. |

| I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis either - once was enough for me! |

| Out of curiosity, how are you guys actually getting it on the trailer? Are you backing it on? |

You can haul it on a 10 foot donahue....back it on, but don't lower it all the way.(belly out).it needs to sit on the front 2/3s of the trailer after adjusting wheels....road rules apply...you can't see behind you....done this a few times...Mark |

| I pulled mine on the trailer backwards with a winch. Offered much better control and ability to keep it centered how I wanted. |

| We have a 10' 4 axle Donahue at the farm its to wide to pull with a truck must use a tractor its over 12' wide requires a permit to pull with a truck. can pull with a tractor as its farm equipment. WE have hauled a 12'x 30' fuel tank and calf shelters on it but always use a tractor. even a ' 8 wide Donahue is 10' outside width and requires a wide load permite to pull on road. |

I think I would use a 8’-6” wide trailer with extensions on the right side. ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |

| Hauled a 66 Big Bin from New Harmony, In. to Marion, In. on a 96" trailer few years back. Used a loader to back it on (carefully), once it was loaded, I removed wheels and set frame on 6 X 6 blocks, chained it down, put flags on right side overhang, wide load signs on and headed home - rode like a baby in a cradle! |

And what portion of the road patrol offficers even know this? And of the ones that do how many care enough to be a Dick? Remember towing my soil finisher home from Illinois pulled up to this stop sign edge of the finisher dangling over both shoulders of the road. County sheriffs deputy just motioned me on and went on his way. Folded up sitting on my gooseneck it 13 foot wide towed it from Kansas back to Michigan took I-80 right along the south edge of Chicago. If the OP uses common sense he would be just fine. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

I backed an all crop onto a gooseneck flatbed one time. Hauled it 100 miles into a headwind. Think I got about 2 miles to the gallon aerodynamics aren't so good. Lol. Darrel |

After some thought, you also can put one or two castering wheels under the axle matching up to your ramps ....I've tried picking one up(72) with a front end loader boom...failed..not a big enough horse.....Mark |
