How many tractor drives did you partake in this year.

I was happy with the 12 I drove in, would have not done half of them since I don't have a trailer but have friends that do. I usually get in 4-6 a year and drive the tractor 1-2 hours to partake in some of them. I have a retired, widowed friend that will have 25 drove this year. This is in Northeast Nebraska, and bordering Iowa and South Dakota.
 
Over 1,000 for sure mostly all within 10 miles of my farm and some of mine last over 12 hrs although many were for an hr or two and then I'd ride another tractor for a couple hrs.Can't beat the scenery in the hay fields around here.
 
Have one more, then it will be eight for me here in Indiana. Longest was the two and half day drive to cross the Mackinac bridge, 255 miles. May need to move west for more!
 
I made 5 this year. Like you I was able to use a trailer so that got me 2 more rides than normal years, hoping to increase that number next year.
 
I've put thousands of miles and hours on tractors and not left the area. I'm so boring. I'm not sure how I'll ever see the Grand Canyon if I drive with one foot nailed down all of the time.
 

Only two so far but this is my first year, I've missed some because I didn't know about them and I just got the old tractor road worthy in July.
 
Well lets see, I drove the TLB to my BIL's to dig rock, then to my MIL's to do some work, then back to dig more rock, then back to the MIL's.....then in some of my BIL's fields, couple of different tractors.....

None. Very few in my area and I belong to 5 different antique tractor clubs. I will not get up at 6:00-6:30 in the morning just to make an 8:00 starting time for a 5 hour tractor drive to be back at starting point at 2:00 in afternoon. That would be loaded up day before as well. Fog or dew not yet gone when they are starting. My morning sleep is worth more than the tractor drive.
