Some european tractors have about 30mph road gears, was a few posting on some German tractors that had front suspension and front brakes. In US? Friday and Loves from Michigan were built with higher speed road gears- one of their intended uses was hauling wagon loads of product to town canneries, etc and they were supposed to have fairly good brakes, might have had them on front. Ford sometimes get Sherman(?) over drive auxilary transmissions and Fergusons had a option for high spped -25 to 35 mph- gearing- maybe the same as Sherman type auxilary transmission. Couple of them in local area being used by drunks who"ve lost their license- no license required for "implement of husbandry" and sometimes a local bar parking lot is 1/2 full of tractors. UDLX(?) Moline was 35mph(?) and had a car type cab-but they"re not cheap. Some old cars, pickups converted to tractor- main example is Ford Model A with AA rear end and extra transmission- the term "Doodlebug" come to mind as a name for them-- local salvage yard has a example in the back section of farm equipment, has a wood cab, drawbar and 2 transmissions, front brakes and a hydraulic line toward back that has a SMV triangle. Legal status is supposed to be "Farm tractor/implement of husbandry" --maybe something like that for a winter project would be legal your area? Pickup frame, cab, extra tranny and truck axle solid mount at back, 3 pt hitch- maybe IHC engine and get state to call it a tractor/implement of husbandry. Big Versital(sic?) made with truck parts supposed to have a high road gear-but again not cheap. RN
