Mark: I see pitfalls in some of the suggestion you have. Before I were to drive a tractor that far, jack it on each side to see how tight your axle bearings are. Your father in law may be like me and not had tractor in high gears in past 5 years. While driving would be great fun, listen for power train noise, before you leave.

I'll give you one piece of advice on trailering tractors. Don't touch it unless you have tandem axle trailer. Secondly balance, your trailer deck should be twice as long as tractor. You must get the right tongue weight on your towing vehicle, or your trip will br living hell. That is true of any truck, large or small, once you get over 65% of rated load. I drive a tractor trailer, rated load is around 25 ton. Believe me some of these bozos that load you can make the trip miserable.

The beauty of hauling a tractor, you can stop and move it provided you have the extra trailer deck.
