Bring along snacks and refreshments.

It does not matter how good you can sing you will get sick of your own voice after 7-8 hours so bring a radio.

A set of ear plugs will help reduce how deaf you will feel when you finally get home if the tractor has a noisy exhaust.

SMV sign and a set of magnet mount battery powered lights if you won't be making it home before dark.

Whatever mpg you get won't really matter unless you are going half way across the country, a full tank on any tractor I have ever owned will last for a full long day of work, should be a bit better in road gear.

Ask the seller on the phone before you even go to look at if he thinks the tractor would have any problem making a 100 mile road trip.

Some will hmm and haw that maybe you should bring a trailer.

Others will be straight up and reply yes that won't be any problem. This also gives you a good idea if you should even waste your time to go and look at it.

Even if you planned it on the safe side and allowed for 4 gallons per hour a 60 gallon tank will be good for 15 hours.

Plan out your route, sometimes a few extra miles on gravel is less stressful than being on a busy highway.

Throw in a few basic tools, bring a cell phone and of course check all fluids, tires etc before leaving.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
