It is much more interesting to pull them. You get to stop every 5 miles and grease the wheel bushing not to
mention the excitement of blowing out dry rotted tires. You might even get one with wheel bearings so they
can fail then you need to find some odd ball bearing that has not been made in 50 years. You also know my
bridge story pulling grain augers.LOL Tom

Looks like your strapped down tight at the headache rack. That should take all the bounce out of it. I brought some flare box wagons home
last year, on a trailer, even though it was only 7 miles cross county, no flats noburnt up bearings no problems. Just took a little bit to
winch them on and tie em down. gobble

I pulled my 32' elevator home with my JD H at 6 mph. Took an hour or so, but a fun ride.

We had a neighbor years ago who did custom baling. He would pull a baler and 3 hayracks behind his Farmall 560 and if he needed to provide an elevator to put the bales in the barn, he would hook the elevator to the front hitch and push it to the job. Some times he would make his International pickup a caboose to this strange looking train going down the road.

It is a 40ish foot Kewanee 500 on a 25 foot gooseneck trailer. The end of the elevator was over the cab. I have a 55ish foot Kewanee 600 that I use on occasion. I picked this up for an Amishman near me. I pulled my 600 home because it was way too long to do this. Like Tom said, it was a lil nerve-wracking with the bad bearings they put in them. They were never made to be pulled 60 miles at 60mph.
