Looking to rent or borrow a trailer

[HoughMade]

I was going to put this in the classifieds, but I didn't see a "prefix" that would be accurate.

I am looking to rent or borrow a flat-bed trailer with ramps in order to move a small farm tractor which is not currently running. The tractor is an Allis Chalmers B with a 6' finish mower. It is 110" overall length with a wheelbase 77" of and the mower is the greatest width. Total weight under 2500#. This means I am looking for something, probably, at least 10" feet long, but anything that works will probably be longer. A winch is desirable, but I can certainly make do without it.

North Central or Northwest Indiana a plus as I will be moving it from Edwardsburg, MI (15 miles northeast of S.B.) to Valparaiso, about 75 miles one way.

This is a picture of my Dad using the tractor I need to move:

If nobody can loan you one, Sunbelt Rentals rents flatbed trailers.

 

[HoughMade]

Thanks. I looked into it and that will be my backup plan.

You might check on if you pick it up late Friday 4:30 or so (and it isn't rented Saturday) they may let you keep it till Monday at opening and just charge you for one day rental.

That's exactly what I'm going to check on. Thanks.

Tractor Supply also has trailers for rent that I believe will get the job done. If you move it on a Tuesday evening the Conservation Club is open to the public for Trap Under The Lights. Don't know about you, but I like to multipurpose on trips that far from home.

Tractor Supply- shopped there for years, never knew about the trailer rental.

Thanks!

Let me go out and measure my trailer. It's only a single axle, so I need to check the weight rating.

Looks like I might be a bit small.
5x8 bed.
2,200 pound cargo limit.

As big as you want, it's probably going to be a double axle.

Thanks to all who responded. I have a trailer lined up. INGO has some good people.

Looking forward to getting my Dad's tractor running again.
