2012 John Deere 8360R Transported 1,564 Miles With Help From FR8Star

A buyer who placed the winning bid on AuctionTime.com for a John Deere 8360R tractor needed a hassle-free way to get his prize home from its location 1,500 miles away, and FR8Star was there to help.

This 360-horsepower (268-kilowatt) 2012 John Deere 8360R has 5 hydraulic remotes, an IVT transmission, an ILS front suspension, new inside front tires, 1,508 hours on a rebuilt engine with all John Deere parts, and 6,378 hours total. It caught the eye of a buyer on AuctionTime.com, but the purchase is only step one of an equipment acquisition.

After placing the winning bid on AuctionTime, the buyer needed to get the 29,000-pound (13,154-kilogram) John Deere tractor to its new location. That was no easy task, given that the tractor was located in Vandalia, Missouri, and needed to move 1,564 miles (2,517 kilometers) to Wilder, Idaho. At 21 feet 7 inches long, 11 feet 6 inches wide, and 11 feet 7 inches tall (6.5 by 3.5 by 3.5 meters), it was not a small load. Using FR8Star, the buyer found and booked transportation with heavy-haul experts who handled this challenging load with ease.
