Bumpiness of the tires?

They are smooth and sweet.

I was only partly kidding. Roading a tractor is great fun, and like Hugh, I've spent many ten hour days on a tractor.

For a long road trip the main thing is wind and bugs in your face, and exhaust when the wind is just right. And it takes a lot of time. And your arms get tired.

They ride pretty smooth on good roads and really rough on bad roads.

It is dangerous. You have to have your wits about you and pay attention at all times to traffic conditions, road conditions, and your inability to stop quickly.

However, the view is GREAT and you really do see things you never will from a car or truck because you are going slowly enough to really see. You'll also meet lot's of nice people and lot's of idiots who don't have time to wait tow minutes to pass you.

All that said, I would never start on a long trip on a tractor I had not run for several hours and know the condition of the steering, brakes, oil consumption, and knew for sure the rust ahd been shaken out of the fuel tank.
