Thanks for all of the input guys, I'll let you know what I find out. It's going to have to be a low price for us to go for it, but we'll see. The up side is our tractors set still almost all winter since we only do hay, leaves us plenty of time for big projects.
I wasn't aware that the 1066 was going to be overwidth to haul, but I'll have to look into it. We do know a couple of guys who run trucks back and forth between FL and NY, so finding a hauler wouldn't be too hard, but the permits might be a sticking point. I'm assuming it is the rear axles that put it overwidth? The tires themselves should be able to be moved in correct?
On the other hand, we bought a 4020 down there several years ago that had been used in a citrus grove and the people had cut the bar axles off shorter to not interfere with the trees. Have to see what it is when I get there.
As far as using a 1066 on our hay farm, the main reason we're looking at that big a tractor is for refitting the fields (plowing, discing, etc.). We would also probably use it as a loader tractor to handle a bale grab (we run a New Holland stacker wagon).

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
