With big tires an H can make 18 mph.

If you enjoy ten hour days you can travel 150 miles, so take two weeks off and drive it home in ten days. That would be 1,500 miles.

Don't begin to think aobut engine wear. H's and M's used to get run ten hours per day all summer. If you are plowing 8 acres per day you'd take ten days to plow 80 acres.

It would be an interesting trip. I don't know what the fuel economy would be, but someone will help with that. I'd guess you could go all day in road gear on one tank, or 15 gallons, and it might do better than that, maybe 15 miles per gallon.

The real trip would be to do it alone with just a tool box. Having someone follow you would not only spoil the fun but would also cut the net fuel economy way down.

You would see lot's of the country with time to look! Long down grades would be a challenge, though, as a Farmall in road gear can get up quite a speed going downhill, even without an implement.
