I just hauled one not too long ago. They are around 2300 lbs or so. They are a little over 8 1/2 ft wide though in the transport position. I blocked one side and took off one wheel and I was still a few inches over 102" but I didn't run into any problems going through Ohio or Michigan. I don't remember the total length but my operator's manual says they are 13 1/2 feet long. If I remember right the measurement from outside of tire to outside of tire was about 108" with both wheels installed. Hope that helps.

Apparently I didn't keep the pictures, but Gary in TX hauled one he bought off of my dad on a utility trailer.  Maybe he can chime in here with the pictures or just how he did it.  I do know it worked pretty slick, but technically I think he was over width if they want to measure with the micrometer.

Hey, yes you better check the width. I hauled one I was given home from southern WI back up here to the northwoods of northern WI and it is too wide for a standard deck-over skidsteer type trailer. We pushed ours on the tralier backward with a tractor loader and when we got to the end of the ramp with the "overhanging side" I was able to catch the axle with a floor jack and roll the rotobaler to where we wanted it on the deck to tie it down. I was able to just block the axle and take the jack out when we got it where we wanted it on the trailer.

This is how we hauled Mike's to Texas from Iowa.
Aaron's Dad had fork's on his loader tractor, they worked great to pickup and set it on the trailer.
We had no problem's......
