Not sure of the actual dimensions, but I know smaller than a 79 (rubber
bumper) Midget. I have a friend that took one (79) from Wyoming to
Oklahoma in the back of a pickup truck. That's in the bed not on a
trailer. Dropped the tailgate off used a couple of 4x6's and drove,
carefully, into the bed. Unloading was the revesre of the above.
The point is if you have access to a pickup truck you may not need a
trailer.
