In April 2004 I drove a G-1000 Vista MM 300 miles home to SWMO from Minneaoplis,KS.In April 2006 I drove a 6030 JD nearly 260 miles home from Lindsborg,KS.I averaged over 5 mpg with each tractor.The tire wear wasnt even noticeable.It was far cheaper than hiring them hauled.We did get a front tire on each tractor but they were rotten and I knew they would blow so had nice spares with me. We traveled the back roads and had no problems at all with traffic.I had an escort behind me.It was the most fun I've ever had and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I've also driven two different 715 IH combines over 50 miles each home.37 years ago we used to road a 1966 model Oliver 1950 tractor all over to the tractor pulls.We got as far way as Springfield,MO once which is 100 miles. 70 miles will be less than 4 hours.Just have an escort following you with the flashers on.
