I've driven two tractors long distances home and would do a 3rd one in a heart beat.It was the most fun I've ever had. In April 2004 I drove a MM G-1000 Vista wheatland diesel 300 miles home from Minneapolis,KS.It ran 22 mph and got just over 5 mpg.We spent one night in a motel.The MM had almost bald 18.4x34 rear tires so wasnt much worried about them.They made it fine. In April 2006 I drove a 6030 John Deere 270 miles home from Lindsborg,KS.We spent one night in a motel.It got nearly 5.5 mpg and ran around 20 mph.It had 30.5x32 rear tires and they showed practically no wear at all. For me it was much cheaper to drive them than to hire them hauled.We took lesser traveled roads and had no problems at all except each tractor blew a front tire.The front tires werent much good anyways and I had nice spares with me.The MM did have to have a fuel filter change on the road and we had new ones with us.Both tractors were completely checked over and had engine oil changes. I've also driven a couple of 715 IH combines 50 miles home.
