Default No 27 Limber

Hi Everyone I have just bought a 25 pounder limber and trying to get it home just one minor issue I don't have a wheelbase size to put it on a trailer. Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Including the side bulge of the tires, 81.5 inches wide.

If your trailer is not wide enough, you can undo the drawbar at the limber (8 bolts). The drawbar with brake actuator will pop off and you can load the limber onto even a puny 4x8 trailer, or a north American 8 foot pickup box, sideways.
Sorry, I don't work in metric yet.

Great minds think alike. How did you get it on there? Lots of jockeying or did you use a loader of some kind.
