If you haven't checked with MDOT as of yet, you had better. You are too far from home to remain as "farmer status", and hooked to a pickup takes a lot of those simple guidelines away as well.
In Minnesota, over 14'-6" in width causes issues on a lot of highways when permitting. Sunday travel is normally not allowed. If you get into the "metro" area, this could be considered a night move, but I cannot remember exactly where the line is right now, but I think it is Hutchinson, which makes it Hwy 15.

There are lot of outfits that can haul this for you, as there are quite a few large dealers up that way that go and get there own new combines from Deere.

I was not local and too far from home, it was too wide for Saturday and I had no permit, and he said then it did not matter where I was from, I was just too far from home.
