How to Prepare Your Farm Equipment for Shipping

truck

Proper preparation protects your equipment during transit and ensures a smooth, accurate condition inspection at pickup. Follow these steps before your carrier arrives.


1. Clean the Equipment Thoroughly

A clean machine allows for an accurate condition inspection at pickup. The driver photographs all surfaces and documents existing scratches, dents, or damage. Cleaning first ensures nothing is missed or disputed at delivery.


2. Photograph Everything Before Handoff

Take photos of all four sides, the top, any pre-existing damage, and the serial number plate. Date-stamp your photos. This protects you in the unlikely event of a damage claim during transit.


3. Drain Fuel to One Quarter Tank

Federal DOT regulations classify fuel as a flammable hazard for transport purposes. Reducing the fuel level to approximately 25 percent keeps your shipment compliant and reduces load weight.


4. Disconnect the Battery

Disconnecting the battery or batteries prevents electrical drain during long-distance transport. For equipment with multiple power sources or GPS trackers, note which connections have been removed.


5. Fold and Pin All Booms, Headers, and Wing Sections

Combine headers, sprayer booms, planter wings, and auger extensions must be folded to their narrowest transport position and secured with all locking pins engaged before the carrier arrives.


6. Remove All Loose Attachments and Grain Residue

Loose tools, chains, hardware, and personal items inside or on the equipment must be removed. Clean out all remaining grain, seed, or crop debris from hoppers, augers, and grain tanks.


7. Check for Active Hydraulic Leaks

Inspect all hydraulic lines, cylinders, and connections for leaks before shipping. Active leaks can create hazards during transit and may result in damage to the trailer or other cargo. Address any leaks before pickup.


8. Provide Keys and Operational Notes to the Driver

Hand all keys, fobs, and access codes directly to the driver at pickup. If your equipment has any quirks, a tricky starter, specific loading procedure, or a known mechanical issue, share these notes at handoff.

What Affects the Cost of Shipping Farm Equipment
Cost Factor How It Affects Your Price
Equipment Size and Weight Dimensions and weight determine which trailer is required. Equipment that exceeds legal limits needs oversize permits, pilot cars, and specialized routing, all of which increase the base rate. The larger the machine, the more complex and costly the logistics.
Shipping Distance and Route Total mileage is the primary pricing driver. Cross-country hauls cost more overall but often have a lower cost per mile than regional moves. Remote pickup or delivery locations can also increase the final price.
Oversize Permit Fees Each state along the route charges its own permit fee, typically $25–$200 depending on dimensions and weight. Multi-state shipments accumulate multiple permit charges, which should be included in the quote upfront.
Time of Year Demand increases during spring planting (March–May) and fall harvest (September–November). Booking 3–4 weeks ahead during these peak periods usually results in better availability and more competitive pricing.
Operable vs. Non-Running Equipment that cannot move under its own power may require winches, forklifts, ramps, or other loading assistance at pickup and delivery, which adds a modest surcharge.
Pickup Location Type Farm gates, dealer lots, and auction yards present different access challenges. Soft ground, limited turning space, or difficult terrain can affect loading logistics and overall pricing.
Expedited Carrier Assignment Standard carrier matching typically takes 1–5 business days. If pickup is needed within 24–48 hours, expedited placement is often available at a premium rate.

FAQs on Farm Equipment Shipping

It depends on the equipment size and weight, the distance traveled, whether oversize permits are needed, and what time of year you are shipping. A compact utility tractor moving 500 miles might run $600 to $1,200. A large combine shipped across the country with oversize permits and escort vehicles can range from $4,000 to $10,000 or more. The most accurate way to get your number is to use our online calculator or call us. We respond with a detailed quote the same day.
We select the trailer type based on your equipment's specific dimensions, weight, and how it needs to be loaded. Most standard tractors and implements travel on flatbed trailers. Large combines and articulated 4WD tractors typically need an RGN for their height and weight. Mid-size tractors with cabs often travel on step-decks. Our team confirms the trailer type with you before scheduling pickup so there are no surprises.
Yes, this is a core part of what we do. We manage the entire oversize process on your behalf — state-by-state permit procurement, pilot car coordination, route surveys, and travel window compliance. Equipment exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in width, 13 feet 6 inches in height, or 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight requires this additional work before it can legally move, and we take care of all of it.
Transit time with BAH Logistics typically runs 1 to 12 days depending on route distance, carrier availability, and whether oversize permitting is involved. Shorter regional hauls often wrap up in 2 to 4 days. Cross-country shipments average 5 to 10 days. During peak planting and harvest seasons, we recommend booking 3 to 4 weeks in advance to lock in your preferred dates without paying a rush premium.
Federal maximums without oversize permits are 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches tall, 53 feet long, and 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight. Equipment exceeding those limits requires state-by-state permits, potential pilot cars, and specialized routing, all of which we handle. For Super Load classification above approximately 150,000 lbs, additional engineering review and routing coordination apply. There is no hard ceiling on what we can move. Contact us for large or unusual equipment and we will build a plan around it.
