Subject: RE: How far would you pull a piece of equipment?

CO, NE

Did you have some kind of hydraulic pump with you to pump it back up if it sagged over time?

The only thing I ever hauled long distance was a 300 gallon Fimco sprayer. I greased the wheel bearings before we left and didn't have an issue. Went about 40-50 most of the way. I should have had them put 50 gallons of water in it to get some more tongue weight. It liked to sway at certain speeds. The whole thing probably only weighs 1500lbs anyway, so I wasn't worried too much with a 3/4 ton pickup.

We also drove a tractor we bought about 40 miles home. Wasn't a big deal, but the top speed was only about 18mph, so it was kind of boring. At least the radio worked. I'm sure some folks here drive tractors further than that regularly to farm other areas.
