Subject: RE: Make a head mover



Macon, IL
50 Miles is pretty far-so I would want something that pulls straight, nothing more annoying than having to drive 25 miles and have the thing weaving behind you-unfortunately I know. Also for a 25ft head you are going to have the poles stick out pretty far over regular running gear so you may have to either lengthen tongue or center pole.

I found an old head mover made with brackets to hold 3" pipe, the pipe was gone but I got 22" 3" Iron Pipe for about $100 each. I have seen the brackets in some catalog-forget it it was Shoup, or Abilene Machine or something like that-I don't recall price.

Not great pictures but here is what I did:
