For getting it home, I haven't asked him yet, but my boss (technology website company, 100% white collar) has a backhoe and I believe he has a trailer to transport it, so I'm hoping he'll help me fetch the tractor. But if I had to, at least 95% of the 15 mile drive would be on roads where tractors are not an uncommon sight.
There are several places on the sidewalls of the bad tire where the cracks show a lot of cord and it feels really soft there (soft enough to easily push a pencil through, if I had to guess.) So a thorn or sharp bit of brush could easily puncture the tube while hogging, something I'd like to avoid. I recognize the tire will be an expense, but could be put off for years with care and luck. Here's hoping I'm lucky. I'll need my money to buy a 6 foot brush hog. Turns out all the cheap one's I've been seeing are 5 foot, or even 4. No cheap 6 footers found yet...
It's been years since I attended a farm auction, and I'm wondering what the implement deals are like. I've looked at a few listings and will go to some soon, to see what prices are like. If I buy a 6 foot cutter, I'll need a way to get it home, too. I don't have any way to move something like that, and the auctions can be pretty far away.
