Urgent Combine Delivery Saves Harvest for Nebraska Farmer
Project Overview
Client: Independent Farmer – Scottsbluff, NE
Freight Hauled: John Deere 9650 STS Combine
Route: Houston, TX to Scottsbluff, NE
Scope: Rescue transport after 2-week delay by original carrier
Industry: Agriculture / Harvest Logistics
Challenge: A delayed truck threatened the harvest window.
A farmer in Scottsbluff, Nebraska had just purchased a used John Deere 9650 combine out of Houston, TX — a key piece of equipment he needed to begin harvesting his fall crop. The original transport provider quoted a competitive rate, but after two full weeks of excuses and no truck, the buyer still didn’t have his machine — and the harvest window was rapidly closing. Frustrated and running out of time, the customer contacted Rocky Mountain Heavy Haul for a second opinion.
Our Solution: Rapid response to save the season
Our team sprang into action, providing a realistic quote and guaranteed pickup timeline right away.
Equipment availability: We had a RGN trailer available nearby and prepped for transport within hours.
Fast dispatch: The combine was loaded within 24 hours of the client’s call.
Direct line haul: We routed the truck straight to Nebraska, delivering the combine just two days later.
Smooth coordination: We managed pickup with the Houston seller and coordinated delivery access with the farm’s rural location to ensure a smooth offload.
Results: Harvest Back on Track — Zero Lost Time
Pickup in less than 24 hours after initial call
Delivered 2 days later, before weather or crop loss became a concern
Client immediately resumed harvest operations
No additional handling or rescheduling needed
