run it down the road. 5 miles is not that bad. most likely take you longer to put on trailer and trailer it down and unload, than it would be to hope on tractor and just drive to other property.
get a "slow motion" triangle on back of tractor. make sure your lights work and get a going.
on a side note do it during the day time. 1 hour after sun rises and between 1 hour before sun sets. so folks can actually see you. and make the trip during less busy time of the day for road traffic. for a little extra safety margin per say.
if you have any sort of "hills" you will need to drive up between properties. you might want to "down shift" before you get to a hill to go down it or up it. running a lower gear will more likely allow ya to make it up them steeper hills.
watch it on the brakes, more so if your tractor has "split" rear left and right brake pedals. one side may catch sooner than other side. and as a result at higher MPH may throw the tractor to one side.
