If you have access to a gooseneck trailer and a loader at both ends I would haul it. Here is the trick. Remove the wings from the center section ( they are only attatched with two hinge pins and the cylinder rod pin). There are 4 bolts holding each gang to the frame. Pull the center section onto the trailer and then remove three of the 4 bolts (all but the inside front on the front and the inside rear on rear). Do this with the disks just SLIGHTLY elevated above the deck. Swing the front disks forward and the rear backward. This will GREATLY narrow up the width of the machine. Lower the center section and stack the wings on top. Bind everything well, then stop after 10 miles or so and rebind after it all shifts. You will still be a little wider than legal, but well within permittable specs.

You'd have to have Lee Lakoski's luck to pull one that far with a truck and not catch a low line, have bearing failures, hit mailbloxes, etc. etc. etc. 50 miles is the realistic pulling limit IMHO. Rear weight bias on these can be remedied by removing the harrow attatchment, if there is one. Hope this helps. I had a ton hauled in years past.
