Farm and Agricultural Equipment Transport Solutions
Let's discuss how we can help ship your farm equipment.
At Nickels Brokerage, we understand that transporting farm and agricultural equipment—including tractors, combines, harvesters, sprayers, tillage tools, balers, grain systems, and conveyor machinery—requires far more than standard freight handling. These machines are often large, heavy, awkwardly shaped, and mechanically sensitive, which makes their transport a specialized skill set.
Agricultural equipment shipments involve challenges such as:
- → Oversized dimensions (wide tires, tall cabs, extended booms, or long frames)
- → Delicate components like hydraulic lines, sensors, sprayer arms, GPS modules, and auger systems
- → Uneven weight distribution, requiring knowledge of blocking, bracing, and carrier securement points
- → Complex loading needs, often requiring ramps, winches, or ground-level access
- → Route restrictions, including low bridges, narrow rural roads, and weight-limited farm lanes
Because of these unique factors, farm machinery must be paired with the correct trailer—flatbed, step-deck, lowboy (RGN), or extendable—and an experienced agricultural carrier who understands how to handle expensive machinery without risking damage.
Whether you’re a family farm, commercial grower, equipment dealer, manufacturer, or auction buyer, Nickels Brokerage coordinates every step of the process to deliver your equipment safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively anywhere in the United States. Our team evaluates load dimensions, securement requirements, permits, routing, and on-farm delivery needs to ensure a smooth experience from pickup to final placement.
We combine agriculture-focused logistics knowledge with a reliable national carrier network—so your equipment arrives ready to work, exactly when you need it.

Why Shippers Across the U.S. Choose Nickels Brokerage
When it comes to transporting tractors, combines, sprayers, tillage machinery, and other heavy agricultural equipment, the right logistics provider makes all the difference. Our team understands the unique challenges of farm equipment shipping—oversized dimensions, sensitive hydraulic systems, complex attachments, rural delivery access, and time-critical seasonal demands.
We combine specialized agricultural freight expertise, a nationwide network of flatbed and heavy-haul carriers, and hands-on communication to ensure your equipment moves safely, on time, and without unnecessary cost. Whether you're relocating a single tractor, delivering auction equipment, or coordinating multi-load shipments for a dealership, Nickels Brokerage delivers dependable, professional transport with attention to detail at every stage.
- Heavy-Haul & Flatbed Expertise
- Nickels Brokerage works with carriers who specialize in transporting large, heavy, and oversized agricultural machinery. Our team understands the differences between loading a compact tractor, a 30-foot cultivator, or a multi-attachment sprayer. We evaluate each shipment to determine the safest trailer type—flatbed, step-deck, lowboy (RGN), or extendable—ensuring proper weight distribution, securement, and route compliance. This expertise significantly reduces risk of damage and avoids costly delays.
- Nationwide Carrier Network
- From local farms to multi-state operations, we provide reliable transport across all 50 states. Whether equipment is moving from a dealership to a customer, between farm properties, or across the country from an auction yard, our nationwide network allows us to source the right truck quickly. With dependable coverage in rural areas, agricultural regions, and hard-to-reach locations, we ensure your machinery gets where it needs to go—no matter how remote.
- Oversize Load & Permit Management
- Agricultural equipment often exceeds legal height, width, or length limits—especially sprayers, combines, and tractors with dual tires or extended booms. Nickels Brokerage manages everything related to oversize requirements, including permits, route planning, escort vehicles, daylight travel restrictions, and state-by-state compliance. This removes complexity from your plate and ensures a smooth trip from pickup to delivery.
- Personalized Service & Direct Communication
- When you choose Nickels Brokerage, you work with real people who understand farm logistics—not a call center or automated system. We provide direct access to your freight team, give proactive updates, and communicate with drivers to ensure on-time loading, safe handling, and coordinated delivery. Our customers trust us because they know we’re available when it matters most.
- Transparent, Accurate Quotes
- Agricultural machinery shipping often involves variables like attachments, terrain limitations, oversize fees, and seasonal demand spikes. We offer clear pricing up front and take the time to evaluate all load details to prevent surprises later. Our quotes include the correct trailer type, permit requirements (when applicable), and realistic transit expectations based on your location and timeline.
- Expertise in Rural Access & On-Farm Delivery
- Delivering equipment to a farm isn’t the same as delivering to a warehouse. Many rural properties involve narrow roads, steep approaches, soft ground, limited turnaround areas, or livestock-related access restrictions. Our team reviews Google Maps, property photos, and land layouts to help plan safe entry and exit for the truck. Whether it’s a remote grain facility, hillside pasture, or multi-acre plot, we ensure drivers arrive fully prepared.
