The Types of Farming Equipment Often Shipped
There are many different types of farming equipment shipped through heavy equipment transport services. Being shipped through these services only guarantees that it is cared for right during the transport. Experienced transport professionals will even hold knowledge of the machinery and equipment, and their functions in the farming industry.
Below, are some of the large pieces of operating equipment used in the agricultural industry.
- Tractor
- Planter
- Loader
- Baler
- Combine Harvester
- Cultivator Disc Harrow
- Commercial Mowers
- Threshing Machine
- Skid Steer Loader
- Spreader

All of the above machinery and equipment is known for its heavy duty structure and design, making it impossible to ship on a standard trailer (often a low loader can be an option). To get it from one location to the next, it’s imperative to hire a professional transport service.
