Answer 1

You are probably looking at a whole 20' container. You'd need to ring a freight forwarder and get a quote for sea freight of a 20' FCL (full container load) from your port in the UK to Los Angeles. There will be local charges at both ends as well. If it has been used then scrub the sucker clean and even then expect an inspection by Quarantine in America. That costs extra money too... You must really love that tractor!

If I had to guess, Id reckon ball-park figure of USD7500 all up to move it. that is assuming that it will fit inside one container however. Can you supply the dimensions and someone else might be able to give you a better quote.

Answer 2

Probably more than the tractor is worth......
