Outlier 57 #1 Posted December 21, 2022 Pretty slim chances, but crazier things have happened... Would like to move an 854 with blade and mower from one side of the country to the other. Any time in the next couple months. See the back story here: Link to Post Its currently in Zionsville IN. Had a ride lined up but weather changed the plans. Next idea was to ship through Fastenal, but they dont currently do East-West shipments. I can get it on a pallet. If I could get someone to take it to a Fastenal at the edge of the West Zone, that might work too. OR perhaps someone right on the border between the two zones could accept shipment from IN, move it to the other zone and then send it along? Wild right?! In the meantime I'll look into other pallet-shipping services. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #2 Posted December 21, 2022 Can you get a local member to get it and sit on it till you figure things out? Worked for me once. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick3478 428 #3 Posted December 21, 2022 I've not tried U-Ship. Anyone have experience with that? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm doing this right now until my personal delivery service guy @Pullstart gets off his snomotractor long enough to pick it up... oh wait, now he's touring the Country signing copies of Lawn and Garden magazine... seems he's Miss January... 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,846 #5 Posted December 21, 2022 I’m about 5 hrs from Indy. I recall, your family has possession of it right now? Sorry your Christmas travel plans aren’t working out. If there is a way they could get it to me, I have a trip to ND some time March/April. I’ll be going to get tractors, so I’ll have the means to haul one too. I could even palletize or crate it. Last time I crated a tractor, it made it all the way to Bavaria in one piece! This is how I haul ‘em state side… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outlier 57 #6 Posted December 21, 2022 My brother was able to pick it up and has it in his garage now, so I do have some time to get something figured out. @Pullstart where in ND are you headed? Looks like your hauling setup is perfect! And Bavaria?! Whoa! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, from then on... Just warning you, @Outlier, of the potential consequences 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,552 #9 Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Yup They do like to multiply ... kinda the rabbits of the garden tractor world... @Pullstart has one of the more well known breeding centers... Edited December 21, 2022 by SylvanLakeWH 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outlier 57 #10 Posted December 21, 2022 Looks like the line goes up the western edge of ND. I guess I wouldn't mind if my 854 multiplied into an 854 and a model 400 somewhere along the way Slippery slope eh? 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outlier 57 #11 Posted January 26, 2023 Thanks for all the ideas and the offers, things fell into place and I've got it! I'm totally excited. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
