This starts a little off the subject but will get back to it.

A township near me bought a motor grader about 90 miles away. The supervisors debated on how to get it home. As they were deliberating, a seasoned snow plow operator spoke up, drive it! Tee supervisors all looked at him with a shocked look until he said, “you guys will put that many miles on in one day plowing snow!” Needless to say, they drove it home.

Bottom line is if you put in a 10 hour day on an M at 4 miles per hour working in the field you cover 40 miles. Twenty miles in road gear is a piece of cake!

Personally, I think about 35 miles (70 round trip) is as far as I have driven one and that was a 1486 hauling grain to town.
