I hauled my HD5G many times loading it into the dump box of my tandem. With the bucket on the cab shield, it fit fine into 14' box. Problem is what to do with the tale gate if where you are going requires it to haul with the truck.
 I did load my HD4 into the truck one time and just about killed myself doing it when the track hung up on the lip on back of box and instead of machine loading into truck it walked itself around in the stationary track - UNTIL machine was standing straight up in the air with loader and front of machine at a 90 deg to the ground or truck. machine was setting on the oil and fuel tank and seat back was against the pile i was climbing. 
 Last time I have moved a machine that way. My son was standing close by and ran over and got machine engine shut down as I was kind of frozen from the couple second ride as well as having my hands frozen onto the steering clutch levers. 
 Getting the machine down from the vertical position ended up cracking the track support member so another 6 hours of welding and repair .

Ouch!... Half a day shot to boot. One of them AARGH days...
 
  Coke, over the side reminds me of a time I watched a hauler run a cat up on a trailer...HD15...  an unknown old cat to him... he looked at the tracks, stepped the length off, went to his trailer, (no ramps) and throwed down two big blocks of wood, then he got up on the seat, opened up the throttle wide open (on a 6-71) twisted the cat left and right and checked the clutches & brakes and he headed to the trailer. Cat went nose up and when it was coming down the front of the cleat caught the edge of the trailer and it pulled itself up again and on... he was shutting the throttle down and applied the brakes, dropped the blade and throwed the wood blocks on and was gone. Didn't even strap the crawler down.  1/2 hr later he pulled into where it was to be unloaded and threw the blocks down and fired it up and unloaded in the same speedy fashion. Asked him if it was scary loading and unloading like that and he said, "don't give it a chance to slip or spin or you'll be over the side before you know it" and by that time his blocks were back on the trailer and he was gone. LOL

The loading and unloading can be a real problem IF you do not know the machine . When I bought my AC 715B TLB I went to load it and going up the ramps on my trailer found the thing did not load like my HD4 with a backhoe did . 
 Machine was light on front and by the time i got it set down on front wheels again I had it setting with front end about 1/2 off trailer , rear wheels still on beaver-tale, hoe bucket setting on ground, and me sweating and looking stupid. 
 Took a couple guys in the yard to get large forklift and reposition machine to finish loading it for me.  Ah yes when I got it home it took a lot of practice to get it to load and unload easily- old dogs can learn new things .. LOL

I know a guy that died in front of his wife and young boy unloading grader. He was coming off in the rain with the blade parallel to the machine and it slipped off the ramps. He tried to jump instead of staying in the damn machine and it came down on him pinching him between the cab and door....dead.

Loading and unloading can be a scary business.  One of our cousins fell of his trailer with an HD16.  It fell so hard he fell down on the floorboards, unconscious.  The machine stayed upright and drove across the yard where it came up against another dozer and stopped- if that other dozer wasn't there who knows where he would have ended up.  After that he always rolled out old rubber conveyor belting on the bed to keep the tracks from slipping.  Steel runners are bad, especially if it is raining or snowing.

whenever no ramps are mentioned, I think of this.

If you need parts for your Gleaner, we are parting out A's through L2's, so we may be able to help.
