I was thinking if they were any tractors made or being made today with a good fast road gear?? It would be nice for moving wagon. I was thinking like 30. Does anyone know if there's any out there? Thanks

Have several "Valtra" tractors around here. They use em for hauling chicken manure in really big dump trailers. Big wide tires, move right along..... ...

I drove a Farmall MX110 this summer in the highest gear and wide open it would be anywhere from 24.4 to 25.

Nice idea. Just a cost problem? No. Safety? Yes.
If you are trouncing down the highway at these sorts of speeds you need: some sort of sprung/damped suspension; solid rim attachment, not potentially loose bolted rims; better braking systems than a couple of mismatched (or worn from turning one way)pedals - like effective braking on all axles.
Either pay the premium for a suitable model or pay a trucker to move it for you at those speeds. Their rigs are checked regularly for safety by the DOT. If you want all agricultural tractors to come under the same regs, there are many more out there who would disagree and wish to continue to travel around at slower safe speeds for their loads without having to justify to the DOT that they are "normal" agricultural vehicles.
My 2p.

I have been told there are replacement road gears for what I call late model small tractors. There are some farmers near here that use tractors for primary transportation instead of pickups and autos. The ones mentioned below are truly fast but new and expensive.

New 7000 and 8000 series JD's shipped to Europe have 50km/31mph or 60Km/37mph top speed.

Most all new tractors have a road speed of near 30, or at least that is what I think I had read somewhere.

JCB makes what I think they call the Fast Track. Alot of them around here( Ohio) They go fast and smooth down the road maybe 40 + mph.
