How far do you need to transport the M. Years ago I made a hitch that bolted into the front of the tricycle front end of my SMTA to bring it home when I bought it. Above the tires, and below the front frame are bolt holes that a front hitch was often installed. I made a plate that matched those bolt holes, welded a hitch from an old wagon to that plate, and had a rigid, strong, and relatively safe tow hitch. My 3/4 ton Chevy pulled just fine about 30 mph for the 70 mile trip home.

I use a 16 foot trailor and its about 6-1/2 foot between the fenders. We redid the rails on the back so we could drive a tractor up on the rails. Its not the best way to do it but it does work. I always make sure the rear wheels are over one of the up rights on the rails so as not the bend the rail when hauling. Most of the time that puts the tractor rear wheels between the 2 axles of the trailor which works well with the set up I have. We hauled in an M not to long ago and we had one tire on the rail and the other on the deck so it sat at an angle.

Have taken two railroad ties bevel them on both ends like ramps and lay them up against each fender and drive over the fenders if you have enough tractor tire to ride on the ties rather than the fenders .May have to add a 2x8 on top to get enough height.

If you don't want to move the wheels, then you are SOL. There is no way to squeeze 86" of stuff through a 75" hole, and the fenders aren't going to take being driven over by a 3-1/2 ton tractor.

Just turn one of the wheels around it is not that hard and by far the safest.

Saw a guy last spring towing a Oliver down the road at about 30 or 35 mph.

Had the front end chained up on one of those little trailers and rollin' on the rears. :>)

Hope he was going the other way. Some people will try anything once.

Here in tobacco country we, and I mean a lot of local farmers haul our super c and cultivators from farm to farm on a Hahn Hi-boy dolly, I have even hauled my M on it a couple of times it works good. That being said you should never go any faster than tractor will go in road gear, as it will ruin rear end. It is done mostly so you can have your truck and tools with you. Every once in a while a Farmall will break down, or mayby a flat tire. It is nice to have truck when tractor wont go.

That is a good idea and is done everyplace but not 30mph behind a pickup truck. There are several ways to tow a tractor but not 30 or plus mph
