Mike: I never liked roading tractors for a number of reasons. I lived on a road with about three times the truck traffic it was designed to handle. They also used a chip seal on those roads for winter driving conditions, it was very hard on tractor tires. I will say the 10 miles is a toss up on just whether it is worth trucking or roading. I did a lot of custom work with my two largest tractors that quite often took them 60 miles away from home and there it did pay, to truck. I would guess that after 1970, I did no hauling of hay, silage or grain with tractors on public highways. Trucks are faster and more economical. Another area we used trailer a lot was fertilizing or spraying, put supplies on front of trailer tractor behind and one guy could work all day moving when necessary, and have all supplies with him. with a single axle highway tractor, if he had a breakdown, he could unhook trailer and go for repairs or parts.
