Getting to Work in Brownsville, Oregon
Earlier this week, we got a call from a property owner in Brownsville who needed help moving two pieces of equipment that couldn’t make the trip on their own. This flatbed towing job involved Brownsville farm equipment hauling, specifically, a Kubota side by side and a Kubota tractor, both of which needed service. These machines weren’t road-legal, so hauling was the only safe way to get them from the property to the repair shop in South Salem.
Not Road-Legal? No Problem
Non-road-legal vehicle towing in Oregon comes with its own set of challenges. In this case, the owner had two machines that couldn’t roll down the street, let alone make the 30-mile trip along Oregon State Highway 228. The Kubota tractor weighed in at about 6,000 pounds, while the side by side was under 2,000. While they were both in decent condition, you still don’t take any chances, especially with farm equipment that isn’t built for pavement or traffic.
Two Flatbeds, Two Pros and One Smooth Haul
For this State Highway 228 towing service, we sent Tony and Oscar out with two of our flatbeds. They arrived on site around 9:30 AM and worked through a steady pace, wrapping up just after noon. The plan was to load both vehicles separately, strap them down securely, and head northwest toward Salem.
Using the winch system on each flatbed gave us full control. We never assume that the brakes on any equipment—even a Kubota—are reliable enough for a drive-up load. That’s risky, especially on a slick steel deck. With the winches, we slowly and carefully pulled each vehicle onto its bed, keeping a close eye on alignment and tire position.
Once secured, Tony and Oscar double-checked the tie-downs. For Brownsville farm equipment hauling jobs like this, especially with tractor and UTV hauling, safety isn’t something you circle back to later. You get it right the first time. The crew then made the trip north, sticking to State Hwy 228 before merging with the route toward South Salem. Traffic was light, which made for a smooth ride.
From Brownsville to South Salem Without a Hitch
The route from Brownsville to Salem is familiar to us, and we’ve handled plenty of flatbed transport from Brownsville to Salem over the years. It’s always a relief when the weather cooperates and the roads are clear. Along the way, Oscar kept a steady pace while Tony trailed behind to keep an eye on both loads during transit.
Brownsville flatbed towing services are important for rural property owners. We’re glad we can help locals take care of the tools they rely on. Tools that just don’t belong on the road.
Another Brownsville Equipment Hauling Job Done
At first glance, a job like this might seem routine. But this kind of farm machinery towing service makes a difference to someone trying to keep their property running. Getting equipment in for service before it breaks down completely saves time and money. It also means these machines can go back to doing what they do best: plowing fields, hauling supplies, or helping maintain acreage.
Brownsville farm equipment hauling jobs like these also give us a chance to use our gear the right way. A flatbed tow for farm equipment is convenient and safer for the machine and the road. And being able to provide reliable Kubota tractor transport service right from someone’s property? That’s the kind of thing we take pride in.
Here’s What Makes a Good Haul
- A clear loading strategy using winches, not just driving up the ramp
- Proper weight distribution on each flatbed
- Frequent checks of tie-downs before and during transit
- Skilled operators who know the terrain and roads
