I drove an 856 I once owned about 60 miles home after I bought it on a farm auction.

A fellow told me once that in 1946, after WWII when tractors were scarce, his father bought an H in Salina, Kansas and drove it up here. That's about 170 miles one way. I didn't believe it until an old neighbor who remembered it confirmed it. But, I've timed my H at 22 mph in 5th, so that would be 8 to 10 hours driving time. No worse than a good day in the field.

I once drove a JD 105 combine with a 16 foot header 48 miles. I'd scouted the route ahead of time with my pickup so I wouldn't have any surprises at bridges, etc.
