I pulled my 6 row JD down the road about 10 miles to the house...the transport lock pin snapped about a mile from the seller and I "planted" about 100 foot of country asphalt before I got it all to stop, then hauled it 20 miles to the farm after repairs. If it has transport function and a lockout (put a chain on that too, scary if it comes down) then you can haul it home behind a borrowed truck. Distance is not relevant. Grease it up, drive slow. If you have 12 hours to kill you can do it.
Story two. When I bought my 8 row Cyclo 800 the end transport axle had been scrapped by a PO. We picked that up with two loaders side by side and set it on a 6000 lb rated car hauler trailer. If I knew then what I know now, I would have gotten a heavier trailer. Strapped it down real well and drove it back roads for 3 hours to the farm. A neighbor here with a REALLY big loader lifted it down.
Either way works. Looking at a picture of your planter it does not look far off a JD 7000. I would pull it down the road. Borrow a truck. Bring a relief driver. Grease it, stay slow, avoid towns.

If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
