Freight cost per unit depends heavily on packing method and how well models fill a container. Ask these questions before you book space.
Key takeaways
- Model size and options change units-per-container.
- Mixed tractor + implement loads are common for new dealers.
- Confirm packing, lashing, and photo updates before shipment.
- Name trade terms and destination port early for accurate quotes.
1. 20' vs 40' HQ—what changes?
Larger tractors and cabin options reduce units per container. High-HP machines may need special planning or alternative logistics. Always ask for a loading proposal based on your exact model list—not a generic brochure number.
2. Mixed tractor and implement loads
First-time dealers often combine utility/compact tractors with tillers, plows, and trailers. This improves sell-through but requires clear packing lists and weight distribution planning.
3. Questions to ask your supplier
- How many units of model X fit in 40' HQ with standard packing?
- Can implements share the same container safely?
- What protective packing is used for ocean freight?
- Will we receive packing photos before vessel departure?
4. Trade terms and timing
FOB and CIF are the most common structures. Name the port, target arrival window, and whether you need seasonal production priority. Lead times shift with peak planting seasons—plan early.
