Moving

[landedakioti]

I have been packing ready to move more things to Vermont . Sell the house the stress of medical bills and losing a friend July 14th and the past Saturday I went and celebrated her life. Came home on Sunday and got a call from nana tell me that my grandfather is in the hospital water filling his lungs. So I hoping to get the tractor back in working order so I can bring it to Vermont. So I was thinking when it is fixed what fun it would be to take back roads from Maine to Vermont and drive it there instead of hauling it.

Nathan,

That would be fun. I helped a friend and drove the tractor for about 45 minutes to get to his place. Amazing what you see at 15-20 miles an hour!
Go for it... could be a blast.

How long of a ride is it?

Would be fun talked to the pastor maybe try to work it out as a fundraising ride to rasie fund to help the needed. There is a local farmer that would also be interested it doing the drive with his tractor too. Would be a blast to get a dozen tractors doing that like motorcyclist doing rides raise money for cancer. The trip in a car is about 3 1/2 hrs doing the speed limit.

That would be 1 long tractor ride! At least a day.

Sounds like a blast Nathan, and its funny, all you're doing is talking about is"operating your Kioti tractor"! :laughing:

Well, it's doable and might be fun, at least for a while. I just did 100 KMs (60 miles) of road travel, but it was broken into two separate days and two trips of 25 KM each day. A/C and the radio were also pretty nice to have, I wouldn't want to do it on an open station tractor if the weather wasn't just right. Combined, my trips took about 5.5 - 6 hrs, sounds like you'd be going 2-3 times as far. Mid range is way to slow for road travel and high range would be slow with any type of hill, so I'd consider the terrain you're dealing with. A guy with your kind of luck should probably make sure his insurance premiums are all up to date before leaving! I do agree, sounds like fun.

I think the proposed travel by road is nuts. If it's 3.5 hours by car it's at least 4x that by tractor. My DK tops out at 15 MPH and I doubt the 40 HST can go any faster. This will cause considerable tire wear and sustained vibration from the treads won't do any good either. Considering LaK's chronic bad luck, this would just be begging for trouble. This is a job for a trailer and a truck.
