[AT] NH Haybine question

[charlie hill]

Spencer, have you ever seen anyone haul a racing hydroplane on a trailer?
They turn them up at about a 45 deg angle on the trailer with one pontoon
on the trailer and the other one up in the air until the overall width is 
less
than 8'6".   I'm thinking maybe you could do the same.   Put the haybine
sideways on the trailer and then tilt it up so that the tongue goes up in 
the
air until it will work.  You'll need some cribbing and plenty of chains and 
binders
but you've got that I'm sure.   If your trailer is a flat bed type and is 
not over about
2 feet high and if the overall length of the haybine is 10' or so you should 
be able to
do it and not hit any overpasses with the end of the tongue.   Looking at 
pictures of
a 467 it looks like maybe you could put cribbing under the rear axle and let 
the haybine
rotate on that cribbing.  You might need to take the wheels off the axle.
I don't know.  It may be a little tricky to rig it but it's worth thinking 
about.

Thanks for the great replies.   I was hoping to ship it as well but the 
machine uses the same 8' wheel spacing as some of the bigger models.    So 
normal rollbacks and trailers won't handle it.   Rollbacks with the 102" bed 
would; but not every towing service even has them.

Anyone have a clever solution for shipping?   The tongue does not look to be 
removable.   I could load sideways if it would.
