Delivery Delivery
If one of our delivery trucks are not available we can help you find a truck. There are other trucking companies that have delivered several EZ Ration Processors to customers. Most units require a step deck and in some states, wide load permits are required when delivering a square bale unit. Every square bale EZ Ration Processor is 11 feet 4 inches wide. The round bale EZ Ration Processors typically do not require special permits for delivery. Wide load permits are generally not required for the square bale unit by the end user after delivery, because it is an implement of husbandry, (you feed cattle with it) --check your state regulations.
