In April 2004 I drove a G-1000 Vista MM 300 miles home from Minneapolis,KS.In May 2006 I drove a 6030 JD 250 miles home from Lindsborg,KS.It was the most fun I've ever had and I'd love to do it again.
I averaged nearly 20 mph and got around 5.5 mpg.We blew a front tire on each tractor but they were rotten and we were expecting that.Halfway home I had to change the fuel filters on the MM.The tire wear on either tractor wasnt even noticeable.
We took lesser traveled hiways,black top roads,and gravel roads.We had no close calls at all.A friend was following me in my 1967 Ford Ranger pickup pulling a trailer.One time we hauled home a 101 Massey tractor and the other time a 35 Massey combine.
Here we are stopped for a rest in the beautiful Kansas Flint Hills that wasnt very green in 2006 due to drought.This is an area where people are scarce and cows are plentiful.
Around here its $3.00 plus per loaded mile to get a big tractor hauled.
