Implement tires are rated at 30 mph, no more. Faster makes more heat, overheats them, they go boom... (Yea, you can probably go 45 mph without a problem, but not 60! :) Make sure your wheel bearings are greased. Make sure the tires are aired up. In most locations in the USA you can tow farm implements with the following restrictions: Keep it under 30 mph. Have a Slow Moving Sign (the orange triangle). Keep off the major throughfares - interstates and such. A secured hitch pin (pin with a locking clip) is required, and a safety chain is either recommended, soon will be required, or already is required depending on location. Night-time driving would require lighting & more. Implements wider than 10' require flagging & possibly a lead vehicle with flashers on - this on is real dependant on local traditions/laws. Of all those, drive in clear daylight & have that SMS & locking hitch pin! Some states or local areas have more restrictions, you will need to check, but generally this will cover you in a rural area of the country. I would not want to make 50 mile trips regularly, not sure how far or how often you want to do this? --->Paul
