How Much Will It Cost To Ship A Combine?

As with any type of heavy equipment or farm equipment, there are a lot of different factors that tend to affect the cost of shipping a combine harvester. Here are some of the top things that will affect how much it costs to ship a combine.

Size & dimensions – A larger combine will be more expensive to ship compared to a small combine, particularly if it qualifies as an oversize load and exceeds the maximum dimensions of the equipment that is usually transported on a tractor-trailer. In contrast, a smaller combine harvester will be cheaper to transport. 

• Weight – The heaviest combine harvesters can weigh in excess of 50,000 lbs, and are going to be more expensive to transport compared to light-weight models. Smaller combine harvesters may weigh in at just 10,000 lbs or less, and will be cheaper to transport overall.
• Distance – Naturally, shipping your combine harvester within the same city, county or state will be cheaper than transporting it long distances across state lines. Perhaps counter-intuitively, though, the price-per-mile of a short-haul will actually be higher, compared to the cost of shipping your combine a long distance. 
• Shipping deadlines – If you need to ship your combine harvester quickly to another area, you may need to pay additional fees for rush shipping and hauling. In contrast, if you plan ahead and have more time to ship your combine harvester, the overall cost of shipping will be lower. While rush shipping may be necessary in some cases, it’s usually much more cost-effective to plan your shipping logistics well in advance, so that you do not have to pay these extra fees. 
• Container vs. open air shipping – Depending on the size of your combine harvester, it may be possible to simply ship it “open air” by attaching it to a flatbed trailer. Or, it may be possible to place it in a 40-foot long shipping container. Open air shipping exposes your combine to the elements, but it’s cheaper. Using a shipping container provides more protection, but will incur additional costs.

These factors will all influence the cost of shipping your combine, so keep them in mind when you contact A-1 Auto Transport to get a quote for the cost of your combine shipping and hauling project.
