Load Tractor On Flat Bed Truck
Get what we call a "roll back" tow truck where the bed of the truck hydraulically goes back and becomes a ramp. Prolly $6000 my guess. But make sure the truck is rated for the 10K. Licensing is another thing. Around here, wreckers are divided into two classes---towing cars and trucks, and c/t towing and towing anything like equipment. The latter license plates cost much more than regular wrecker plates. Also be sure the excavator cab won't stick up too high once loaded. Again you need to look at being commercial and what that means about licensing, etc.

Prolly was a fun way of saying probably  (used in a sentence: Kenny prolly eats many donuts for breakfast) It could be Ohio vernacular, dunno...but I'm from the Deeeetroit area anyway.

Load Tractor On Flat Bed Truck
There's a video on YouTube showing a bobcat self-loading on a flat bed truck with NO ramps. What the guy does is raise the loader about 3/4 the way, go forward and stop quickly causing the rear to raise doing a reverse wheely. Then he backs up--- still doing a wheely--- and gets the rear tires to grab the bed of the truck. Now he tilts the bucket down and lowers the loader raising the front of the bobcat. Then he drives backward more with the bucket dragging on the ground and the front tires grab... and he's loaded. I think getting down the same way would be suicidal!
Also on YouTube there's video of a TLB self loading itself onto a railcar from the ground with no ramps just using the loader bucket and hoe. One more video shows a fullsize excavator stairsstepping 2 platforms to drive into a railcar using some of the same procedure the bobcat did.

Load Tractor On Flat Bed Truck
When is I was down sout' for Katrina, I was preparing for the day's trash picking-up duties on the crew I was with. We were using a flat bed semi trailer with a power beavertail ramp. The large excavator was already loaded and they were preparing for my skid steer to be loaded behind it. So I'm sitting about 3/4 the way on the beavertail when all of a sudden the dumba----s owner/driver flips the levers to raise the beavertail. I blew my horn like crazy and he still raised it! I fell off the beavertail and I ended up looking at the sky! So it goes to show even with purpose-built ramps you can still get hurt.

Kenny I just checked craigslist in Charlotte (forgot where you live exactly). There are all kinds of rollback trucks listed. If you search, use "rollback", not "roll back".
