Hello all,

I am in the market for a new (to me) pickup. It would be an evening and weekend driver. Plus I want to use it to haul the family's Olivers to tractor shows.  The smallest would be a 1555 the biggest would be a 2255.
I am debating between getting something like a Ford 550 or Dodge 5500 knowing that it won't be good on fuel and barely be big enough to haul the 2255.  I will only drive it about 5000 to 10000 miles a year. Or get a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton truck for weekend and evening driving and then get a F650 F750 or even a small one axle semi (with air brakes) for hauling the tractors to the shows. Everything could be registered as farm use so the license tags and insurance would hopefully not be too bad. Another options I could haul the smaller ones then hire a semi for the bigger tractors.
For the guys that take four digit i.e. 1550’s up to 2255’s tractors to shows what do you use to haul? Pickup and a gooseneck?, two ton truck and a gooseneck or a semi  tractor and trailer?
