10' must be to wide to transport in most places isn't it ? If you had one of these and say a 50 - 70 hp tractor how would you transport it ?

Would you get a long trailer and turn it ? Do flat bed tow trucks work (seems to steep to me, but a local Deere dealer delivers with one) ? Mower on the truck and tractor on a trailer, or the other way 'round ?

Depends where you are going with it. From your house to a field, just put orange flags on the corners of it and a slow moving sign on the back of it. Down the interstate on a truck you would need Oversize Load banners on it. On normal two lane roads it is legal to drive a tractor and machinery down the road as long as they have a slow moving sign on them and you use a little common sense. The newer tractors have flashers and lights on them, just turn them on. I wouldn't pull any wide loads at night because people can't see what you are pulling and will run over you just for the heck of it. I pull a lot of big machinery thru the edges of town and subdivisions and all I use are the slow moving signs. Just be extra careful when you are turning off the highway because most people will try to pass you at that time.

I would put the brush hog on the trailer and then tilt it up on a frame of some sort and chain it down to keep within the width of the trailer.
