Most combines are balanced with the weight of the head. They are tall and top heavy. I saw IH 1460 that rolled off the road years ago...

Be hard to start and take up 3 times the shed space of a tractor that had more pulling power... Have you ever got a combine stuck? they can be mess get out. Over the long term you will tear up the combine tranny because they were not build to pull or push like a tractor... just my 2 cents worth...
