Carrier Assigned ( 1-5 business days)
You will work with an experienced carrier who has years of experience in farm equipment shipping and is well aware of the requirements and regulations. You receive the driver's name, contact number, and scheduled pickup window before they arrive at your location.
Pickup & Inspection on Your Scheduled Date
Your driver inspects your equipment at pickup, completes a detailed condition report, and takes photographs. You sign the Bill of Lading confirming the equipment's condition at the time of loading.

Your shipment is actively tracked during transit. Our support team is available 24/7 if you have questions. You will receive proactive status updates at key milestones throughout delivery.
Delivery & Sign-Off (1-12 business days)
Your farm equipment arrives at the destination address. Conduct a final inspection against the pickup condition report before signing the delivery confirmation. Any concerns are documented and addressed immediately.
How to Prepare Your Farm Equipment for Shipping
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. |
