How did farmers transport their implements from field to field years ago without any kind of wheel assemble?

My "pow-pa" (unsure about spelling) used to have a sled that was about 8 ft by 12 ft, he would load his horse drawn tools, usually a plow,disc, bedders and cultivator on it and pull it down the road he would also plow peoples gardens in town using this. He mostly used mules but in his last days had a horse he prefered. He never rode the sled, but always let kids hitch a ride. Johnny

Like others said, farms usually weren't too big so it wasn't a big problem.

Some implements, like grain binders, had removable travel wheels for movement over moderate distances.

If a baler or threshing machine, etc, had to be moved some number of miles for custom work it was usually fitted with inflatable tires so it could be towed at tractor speeds.

Most tractor mounted or pto driven machines weren't that wide back then and so it was reasonable to just tow or drive them with a tractor.

Transportation of tools wasn't a big thing in those years as most farms were either small or all land was adjoining. When transportation was necessary the tools were loaded on a sled or on the wagon and moved. Then special flat bed or tool dollies(like auto two wheel dollie) were built to use when you needed to be on a road or go greater distance.

Back in Iowa where I grew up most guys would load them on a hayrack.
