Worth checking
- Pick a high, well-drained spot
- Put gravel, blocks or ties under the corners
- Make sure the delivery truck can reach the spot on dry ground
What to send sellers
- How many and what size
- Directions or a map pin, and road type to the site
- What you will store (feed, tools, equipment)
Questions
Will a delivery truck reach a pasture?
Only if the ground is firm and dry. A loaded tilt-bed weighs around 30,000 lb, so soft or wet ground is the main reason deliveries get rescheduled.
