This is waaaaaaay off topic, but I have a question for
those who may be in the know. We were talking about a
recent auction in our area. (central US ) A gentleman
from from England bought an old antique tractor, not
running. How much would it cost to transport a non-
running tractor to the coast, and then overseas to
England? some people have waaaaaay too much money.
thanks in advance



When I worked overseas 20 years ago, our supply guy told me
that the company was charged shipping per container no matter
how much it weighed or what, besides hazardous material, was
in it. I imagine that after trucking the tractor to an Eastern
port, it could be loaded into a container for a sea voyage. In
fact, it could be shipped all the way in a container, truck to
cargo ship without exposure to the elements. A 20' container
shipped from The US to The UK would probably cost a few thousand
dollars. This is a guess based on a little web searching.
