Had a friend organize a tractor tour a few years back. 3 day event. Stuff I heard from him is that with more than a couple tractors, that constitutes a parade in some towns, and may require a permit. Check with all towns that you may pass thru. Set a minimum speed of elgible tractors, then put the slowest one out front, else the line tends to stretch out. His tour, within the first 2 hours, one tractor blew a rear tire (dry rotted), and another fried a front wheel bearing. Many miles of travel on an old tractor is much different than driving around the neighborhood. Make sure all are road worthy. If your tour will take several days, arrange to camp out at another club's facility. His tour also took him across Lake Michigan on a car ferry. A Wisconsin based club welcomed the tour when they arrived at the dock with the dock lined with that club's tractors.
Place your wallet in your right side back pocket. It'll help keep your hip straight with your back while spending hours in a tilted seat.
If the tour will be many miles, follow it with a truck and trailer so if a break down occurs, the dead tractor can be wisked away.
All & all, he had a lot of fun. Would like to do one too some day.
