I brought an 18' home 90 miles - that was exciting - and a 22' home about 15 miles. Problem is they have harrow bars added to the back, making them rear-heavy. This picks up on the pickup hitch. That will make them unstable down the road. Probably 20 - 25 mph. Be _real_ careful when going down hill. Nothing really to do about that but take the harrow off, or flip it forward if you can. It will weave if the tounge is light. If the tounge puts down pressure on the hitch, then pulling all side-slop out of the hitch with a come-along from the hitch pin to the left side of the frame of the machine will sure help. Worst was a JD disk I brought home 10 miles. Too short wheel base, very sloppy hitch, rear heavy. 11 mph was ok, 13 was too much. What a long 10 miles on a state highway....... --->Paul
