Oversize load, and what that means for your shipment. Loaded height exceeds the legal limit on every deck. Your rate includes the right trailer, permits and escorts (none expected), priced automatically, nothing added at pickup.

Before you book: what shippers ask

What trailer does a John Deere PL100 need?

A multi-axle lowboy or RGN. At 10 ft 0 in tall the machine sits at 11 ft 6 in on an RGN deck and 15 ft 0 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 PL100 need oversize permits?

Yes. The loaded height exceeds the legal limit even on an RGN; the quote prices permits for every state or province crossed, escorts none expected, and files them for the carrier.

Can a John Deere PL100 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 PL100 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 PL100?

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.
