Second experience roading tractor

[panamaguy]

I have no problem roading my tractor. But roading a Kubota U17 mini ex a mile to my buddies, now that was painful!

After replacing the tracks on my IHI 15 NX for that cost i would not road my hoe for anyone. If you dont have a trailer and they can't find one i would not go

The solution is to get a trailer to haul your tractor around. My 45hp Kioti hydro weighs in around 5000 and slows down on pulling grades also. At least you have 12 speeds to play with.. I only have 3.

Aint no solution for me
F that
I'm farming and have equal rights to the road as a car.

Exactly.

Over here, tractors and trailers even have titles and license plates. Albeit, most people are typically very respectful of that kind of equipment. Only the ocasional idiot likes to pull a dumb overtake.

Heck, lots of old timers just drive around in their tractors, going to the local bar/cafeteria in the middle of small villages, just to have a couple of beers with their friends. It was easier back then to have drivers license for tractors, instead of a regular vehicle. They didn't even needed to know how to read.

I had a 25hp tractor for over 30yrs. I sometimes drove it about 3 miles and on flat rds with a hydro, it clipped along pretty quickly. My newer tractor with gobs more hp does not go much if any faster.

Too a few pics of our tight, hilly, curvy roads in my ‘hood this morning. I have to drive past this T-pole almost every day. Notice the shoulder of the road is also crumbled & sunken?

I may have hit this one with my baler….

Here we have a springhouse built right to the edge of the road.

At least I do my part trimming the trees with my truck mirror!

My shop and a rental property, both of which I occasionally need my tractor for, are about 11 to 12 miles from my house. I roaded my tractor there once. That was enough. Actually, more than enough. Most of it is on a two-lane State highway with wide shoulders. But even with my wife driving behind me in her car with the flashers on, people are idiots. The next couple of times, I borrowed a trailer from my son-in-law. I finally broke down and bought my own trailer last year, well worth the extra effort to load and unload.

Glad I don't have to road my tractor here. Bad enough driving a p/u or even a small car. There are three poles like this in a 1/4 mile section.
