I haven't driven one home that I bought, but I have been on a few tractor rides where we do 80 miles a day with a morning and afternoon break and stop for lunch. My 1550 used 10 gallon one day and 11 the nest. A couple of years ago, I had planned to go on the WMT Tractorcade and the parts didn't come in for my tractor hauler in time to haul it to Montecello, Ia for the ride. It was right at 80 miles, so I took off in the morning and drove the 1850 from across the river from Muscatine, Ia to Montecello the day before and had my wife come and pick me up. I had a 4 day ride instead of a 3 day ride. I put new tires on the 1550 last spring and kept track of the miles from the tractor rides. I put just under 1000 miles on it last year, the tires show very little wear. Hope I can afford the gas to do it again this year!! If you figure time to load and unload and drive there, anything less than 50 miles, you might as well drive it instead of haul it.
Several years ago, I had a 2 row pull type picker that I would take to the show in Geneseo, Ill. I would pull it there with the 1850. I didn't want to pull it thru the Quad Cities, so I took the long route on backroads to avoid traffic. It was a little over 80 miles and I could make it in 4 1/2 hours. The trip up was good, but it usually turned colder and wet after the show was done and it would get miserable driving it home. I finally sold the picker and bought a trailer.
