In April 2004 I drove a G-1000 Vista MM 300 miles home to SWMO from Minneaoplis,KS.In April 2006 I drove a 6030 JD nearly 260 miles home from Lindsborg,KS.I averaged over 5 mpg with each tractor.The tire wear wasnt even noticeable.It was far cheaper than hiring them hauled.We did get a front tire on each tractor but they were rotten and I knew they would blow so had nice spares with me.

We traveled the back roads and had no problems at all with traffic.I had an escort behind me.It was the most fun I've ever had and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I've also driven two different 715 IH combines over 50 miles each home.37 years ago we used to road a 1966 model Oliver 1950 tractor all over to the tractor pulls.We got as far way as Springfield,MO once which is 100 miles.

70 miles will be less than 4 hours.Just have an escort following you with the flashers on.

Heres The 6030 In The Kansas Flinthills in reply to 1206SWMO, 03-09-2007 21:43:13

Heres the view out of the 6030 JD in the Kansas Flinthills.This picture was taken about 25 miles NW of Eureka,KS.We were about 160 miles from home then.Its a long ways to the next hill.We once drove for 25 miles and only saw cows.

Anyone that says your tires will wear out in 70 miles has never roaded a tractor very far!

Heres the G-1000 Vista MM Wheatland overlooking the same valley as the 6030 JD.

Notice what a difference 2 years makes.In April 2004 things were all nice and green.Thats mud splatters on the windshield.

In April 2006 it was all dry and dusty.Lots of ponds were almost dry.
