THE ACREAGE EQUIPMENT FIELD GUIDE

Plan attachment delivery: crate size, liftgate and unloading questions

A delivery quote is useful only when the truck can reach an agreed receiving point and the package can be unloaded there. Get the actual crate dimensions and packaged weight, confirm the service included for your address, and plan the movement after delivery. “Shipping included” does not describe all of those arrangements.

THE DECISION IN NUMBERS

Worked WCAP5 receiving plan: what the published numbers do and do not establish

Farmry’s page supplies the actual 42 × 32 × 39-inch crate, 464 lb packaged weight and 412 lb product figure. Space and access dimensions below are hypothetical. Arithmetic is a dimensional screen, not an approved handling clearance, loading plan or delivery guarantee. The full route, lifting equipment and actual shipment still need confirmation.

Scroll the table sideways on smaller screens.

Plan with the crate measurements, not the assembled machine

Farmry’s WCAP5 page lists a 42 × 32 × 39-inch wooden case weighing 464 lb. Its separate product figures are 59 × 52 × 59 inches and 412 lb. Use the package figures for the receiving plan and ask whether accessories add another parcel or pallet. Farmry also says the packing image is not to scale, so a photograph should not replace the published measurements or a current packing confirmation.

Verify the unloading service for the exact order

The reviewed WC68 page specifies scheduled curbside delivery with a power liftgate. WoodMaxx’s shipping policy treats liftgate service as optional, with a model exception, and makes unloading the customer’s responsibility if it is not purchased. Farmry says liftgate service is included for larger shipments if necessary. These are different seller terms. Confirm eligibility and the included service for the exact machine and address instead of carrying one seller’s policy into another quote.

Agree on the delivery point before planning final placement

WoodMaxx describes residential delivery by a full-size 53-foot trailer from the roadway or another accessible location, with no driveway entry. A smaller-truck alternative may be available after discussion. Farmry assigns movement to the final location to the buyer and may change placement when access is restricted. Send the seller information about road width, turns, gates, surface and the intended receiving point. A liftgate bringing a pallet to ground level does not establish delivery into a shed.

Treat conflicting shipping weights as a packing question

Woodland’s current pages list 648 lb shipping for WC46 and 825 lb for WC68. The retained 2024 Rev C manuals list 693 and 842 lb respectively. The reviewed sources do not establish why the figures differ or which package will arrive. Ask for the packed weight and dimensions of the actual order, including selected accessories. Keep those shipment figures separate from product or complete operating weight; do not resolve the discrepancy by choosing the smaller value.

Complete the receiving brief before booking

A useful confirmation names the shipment count, packaged dimensions and weight, delivery vehicle or access limits, agreed drop point, appointment contact, unloading service and responsibility for the onward move. Where the buyer supplies unloading equipment, its suitability needs checking for the actual package and handling conditions; the tractor’s three-point rating alone does not establish that. Then put the confirmed delivery scope into the complete-cost quote so a low freight line does not hide an unresolved receiving task.

Take these questions with you.

  1. What are the packed dimensions, weight and shipment count for my exact attachment and selected accessories?
  2. What vehicle, delivery point and unloading service are confirmed for this address, and is liftgate service included and eligible?
  3. Who moves the package after the drop, and what access or handling conditions must be confirmed before shipment?

Keep these questions with your exact tractor and attachment details.
