Flatbed trailor and possibly a skid loader to help load it, or you might be able to put in on some temporary skids and pull it on the trailor with a winch.

probably because the widest you can legally be on the road is 8'6" without an oversize/ overweight permit. A tow truck isn't designed for something that wide.
