How are the equipment dealers down there? I would imagine the major dealers have some kind of a dealer in belize. How much of a drive is it to your closest dealer from your place?

i was thinking the opposite.. that perhaps there wouldnt be any dealers?

checked it out on google earth... looks like a hard lifestyle down there!! palm trees and white sand!.. and your farming?

No dealers for Gleaner in Belize. The closest dealer is in AL. Yes that right, USA. The closest center with (major) parts supply is 3 1/2 hours away. () I don't want to misuse the word major.

Wonder if it would have been handled that gently if the customer wasn't watching?

Could you have had it set directly on a truck, I assume it won't be just driven from there?

That must have been the scariest feeling in the entire world watching your combine just hang in the balance and wobble back and forth in the air.

I wasn't really too concerned about it because they just finished unloading a 300 Hitachi excavator which weighs about 3 times what the combine weighs. My only concern was the grill that protects the radiator cleaner. I think maybe they were a little bit more careful with that part of the unloading because they went to get the boards to put between the sling and the tire. It gave the extra clearance needed for the strap to clear the grill. I farm about 15 minutes from the port so when I finally get it cleared by customs I plan to drive it to the farm.
