The tractor gets towed everytime it goes to the farm. It's never left out there. The number of trips vary but it's more than once or twice a month.

Towed on a trailer? Usually only on its way to the shop.
Towed behind something else (not on a trailer)? Only if it is disabled or won't start.

I would guess about once per month. Either taking the Kubota to help friends or family or taking my Allis Chalmers to a parade or tractor show.

Mine gets towed on my trailer about 4 time a year now. Usually to a friends house to do some tilling or bushhogging. When we were building our cabin it was towed pretty much everyday for 4 months or so till the barn was finished.

I tow mine on a trailer about once a week.

"Tow your tractor" to me means pulling it.

If "towed" means loading it on a trailer, and 'towing' the trailer, then its a bit different than towing the tractor.

Which do you mean? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I tow the trailer with the tractor on it, whenever the tractor goes more than a few miles from 'home'.

I farm (small scale) on the fringes of a big city. I rent a good bit of my hay ground. (or cut on shares) Also, I've recently aquired a new piece of property that is about 12 miles from the "old place". During the summer months, seldom does a day go by that one of the three tractors doesn't take a ride. Last year, I logged over 3500 miles on ,my trailer, AND NEVER LEFT THE 2-COUNTY AREA I OPERATE IN.

The baler gets flat-towed behind the pick-up, but rake and disc mower go on the trailer with a tractor.

I tow my tractor on an 18' equipment trailer about 22 miles each way to a piece of property I bought in August, 2004. I usually bush hog 5-6 times a year and move a little dirt, cut trees, etc. several other times during the year.

Picture attached.

Before starting our little business, and even now outside of work, mine gets towed 4-6 times a year. I help my Dad, brother, and a friend out mowing and doing other various tasks. I have also towed out to local wildlife refuges to assist in thier annual public work/conservation days.

I started to just tow it everywhere I went when I first bought it. You know that country song, "She thinks my tractor's sexy", I figured women would follow me around. I need all the help I can get.

Seriously though, two to three times a week, with the wife sitting next to me to protect her interest.

But doesn't that song say, "If it runs like a Deere, it makes her eyes light up"?

(No mention of Kubota's) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

My wife named my tractor "Gus" so my son named my trailer "Woodrow" (RE: Lonesome Dove) since I haul the tractor everytime I use it (Woodrow hauled Gus back to Texas from Montanta) . One place is 75 miles north of my
home and the other place is 200 miles south. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
