If you haven't checked with MDOT as of yet, you had better. You are too far from home to remain as "farmer status", and hooked to a pickup takes a lot of those simple guidelines away as well.
In Minnesota, over 14'-6" in width causes issues on a lot of highways when permitting. Sunday travel is normally not allowed. If you get into the "metro" area, this could be considered a night move, but I cannot remember exactly where the line is right now, but I think it is Hutchinson, which makes it Hwy 15. If the right person stops you, being that header is "quick" attach, you will be removing it, because the law says "easily devisable", and it is! There are lot of outfits that can haul this for you, as there are quite a few large dealers up that way that go and get there own new combines from Deere. You being in SW Wisconsin, could help them out on a back haul, RDO or even James Equipment are just two names to check into.
In northern Minnesota, I think it was year before last, not quite sure, but someone was hauling round bales on small trailer behind a pickup and they lost one bale, and caused a fatality, and these Minnesota patrol have not forgot. They have been checking pickups and small trailers all across the state.
Six years ago I bought a NH 499 haybine in Wisconsin, on a Saturday morning, in Thorp. When asked about towing it in Wisconsin, the dealer said its farm equipment, you can do whatever you want, but yet I only made it to Elk Mound before the Highway patrol pulled me over and, made me unhook it. I was not local and too far from home, it was too wide for Saturday and I had no permit, and he said then it did not matter where I was from, I was just too far from home.
By the way, there are two (2) sections of 71 that have detours, and 14 is closed in new Ulm.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
