Before you book: what shippers ask

What trailer does a John Deere 605K need?

Step deck or a lowboy or RGN. At 9 ft 10 in tall the machine sits at 11 ft 4 in on an RGN deck and 14 ft 10 in on a flatbed; the legal loaded height is 13 ft 6 in in the US and 13 ft 7 in in Canada.

Does a John Deere 605K need oversize permits?

No. At 7 ft 6 in travel width and 26,940 lbs it rides legal on the right deck; no permits, escorts or oversize surcharges are expected.

Can a John Deere 605K be loaded without a crane?

Yes when it starts and drives: it loads under its own power on the trailer's ramps. If it is inoperable, toggle starts-and-drives off in the form; winch loading is priced in, never added at pickup.

How should I prepare a John Deere 605K for pickup?

Empty the bucket or bed, fold and secure loose parts, note fluid leaks, and confirm the dimensions against the machine as it sits: debris, unfolded attachments or missing counterweights change weight and price.

What does it cost to ship a John Deere 605K?

Starts and drives??Starting and driving are different things: the machine must start AND move under its own power onto the trailer. If it starts but cannot drive, answer No. Non-runners need a winch-equipped trailer (surcharge applies). Loading assistance is not included in any quote; the driver loads with the truck's own equipment only.
