Driving on the Road

[cartod]

With all of the farmers running up and down the road with there tractors to bail hay, I decided to take out the old 820 to the gas station. It seemed like the time was right for a road trip. Took a GPS speedometer and was able to get her up to 24 mph. Took it about a mile down the road, drove through a small field and crossed the two lane freeway. Filled her up and headed back.

Anyone else taking there iron on the road this year? ......[]

I drove my Kubota L2900 about a mile to the circle k to fill up one day and get a cold drink. The cashier got a kick out of it. She said she doesn't get many tractors at the pump. Now that I have a new to me L3710 I will drive it there one day too.
That is a nice looking John Deere. It looks like you are filling up the radiator :laughing:

I took the DK on the road a couple of weeks ago, to the church to work on a playground. I had the wife follow me in the van with flashers going. It was only about 2.5 miles one way. It worked well, and was kinda fun.

I pull my farm wagon(20,000#) down the road about 4.5-5.0 miles to get large basaltic lava bouldersView attachment 382197 from a road cut. I use these on the property. My new grapple sure helps with this task.

I love those farm wagons, wish I had a reason to get one.

24 mph is fast in something without springs or shocks. I've taken a front end loader (JD644) 5+ miles down the road, and it was hard to take the bums at anything more than 18 mph. I know plenty of guys who road run motor graders 20+ miles on hard roads. Makes for a long trip.

Wait until you hit some washboards, say at the end of a bridge, or on the outside of a curve...

I drive my NH TC - 29 ~ 5 miles and back to bush hog the farm...@ 13 MPH...that's my top end...and with a FEL I think that is fast enough...it takes me about 20 min . each way...fairly busy county roads...

I've been running my lil BX about a 1/2 mile down the road to the filling station about once a week or a little less to top up the tank after mowing. I think I'm a bit of a novelty as we get a fair bit of the large commercial tractors running on the road between the cotton, soybean and corn fields.

Everyone's always been super conscientious about pulling around me and I get a lot of folks waving. Only thing I don't like is getting passed by the chicken trucks.

Doesn't the tractor have flashers and maybe a orange triangle?
