Hmmm, I could park it on the tennis court and build a shed over it

That looks to be a very nice machine. That'd last you a lifetime is it's been looked after. I take it the sizes mentioned in the advertisement are the overall sizes and not the working capacity of the machine.

Regards Tyrone.

Add a couple of grinding heads and you'd have a specialty that could pay the rent, out there in the low-overhead desert .... you could probably keep busy just redoing Bridgeport tables

I have lust in my heart.

But a hole in the wallet and a nega-hole in the shop make it unlikely. I hope someone grabs it.

Been trying to pin down rigging and transportation costs for the last week. Expensive sucker to move.

Bet that rotater wrecker has a landoll big brother. Load up and have them drive to you.

If that was a 6' table machine I would grab it. Been looking.

Well, it's 600 miles.

No "cheap" way to move. But pulling it up onto landoll would save loading costs. Betting..... $2500 in mileage?

We didn't have fancy lifting gear back in the day. It was a case of taking them apart and re-assembling them on site.

If it was 5k pounds lighter I should be around that # at 50k pounds, its about 3250 or so.

Trying to coordinate truckers and riggers, is like herding cats though.

Not much to take apart on this thing. Not sure taking the gantry off is worth the effort.

That would have been the best time to become the new owner, when the previous owner's rigger was in the process of moving it outside.

That is a small planer.

The planer that built that planer is a big planer.

IMO, a planer is a big planer when it becomes a divisible load.

Add in export packing for a true nightmare

For the trucking part, Two Brothers in Napa, Californee and Nova Shipping in West Bloomfield, Michigan, have been the best for us. Your price seems a little high.

I'd still like to see spotted dog get this, it'd be great out in the desert

My neighbor's friend is a trucker from around that area of western NC. He hauled my machines on his lowboy trailer for me. Not cheap but good service never is. Send me a PM and I will give you his contact info if you think you could use him.

$1000?

This Russian open-sided planer just sold for US$265 here in NZ. But it was at the very bottom of the country, advertised as a "Manual Russian Mill" and the seller was unable to answer questions such as model, table size etc.

It has a milling head fitted to one of the two heads.

Just too much cast iron, too far away, hopefully it's next trip isn't brutal and final.
