Low Loader
Transports slow, tracked or specialised machinery between locations.
What it is used for
Transports slow, tracked or specialised machinery between locations.
How to operate it
Lower ramps, load the machine centrally, secure positioning, raise ramps and tow with a suitable truck/tractor.
Selection and setup
Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.
Operating procedure
Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.
Before you buy or lease
Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.
Compatibility & attachments
This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.
| Compatible connection / attachment | Used for | Important notes |
|---|---|---|
| Truck / tractor with suitable hitch | Transport slow or specialised machines between sites. | Check deck length, ramps, weight and hitch type. |
Procedure
- Check the low loader payload and deck dimensions against the machine being transported.
- Lower/open ramps and park the trailer on stable level ground.
- Drive the machine onto the deck slowly, centred over the axles.
- Return ramps to transport position and ensure the load is stable before road travel.
- At destination, park level, deploy ramps and unload slowly in a straight line.

Alternative options
Drive machine directly for short distances.
Practical tips
- Useful for harvesters with very low road speed.
- Operate at the tool’s rated working speed and allow space at headlands for clean turns.
