One of the parades I am interested in has a minimum requirement of a 10MPH top speed so, 10MPH is a requirement for that parade.
Most parades would be fine with a 4MPH top speed once you get there. For commuter use at a show, 4MPH is too slow for the 2 mile ride from my campsite to the show area where I will volunteer.
Most of the shows and tractor parades will allow me to unload and park reasonably close but, some will require a ~3 mile 'commute' to the parade route.
~16MPH is too fast to be safe most places so, I'm thinking a true sustained speed of ~12~14MPH is a good place to be. I could live with ~8MPH but, less than 6MPH is a hard no at this point.
And, it sounds like non-LP JD730 runs a bit faster than our 730LP with a 12MPH topend. 17 miles was just under 2 hours for me wide open in 'road' gear so ~8MPH. Do-able but, I'd like to do a bit more at something other than wide open or ~8MPH at a fast idle or low mid-range.
At the end of a long hard day, I want to ride my tractor back to the campsite for that first cold beer so, I need something somewhat amenable to an "old man" who is tired so, while I don't need an air ride seat and air conditioner, I also don't want to be tossed back and forth on a steel seat after being a contortionist to get onto the seat!

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
