How far do you drive your half track?

[spillmk1]

Just curious how far you drive your half tracks on paved roads?
I'd like to do several local events/parades without having to haul Bertha around.
Distances vary from a 10 mile round trip to around 30 miles.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Keith

Memorial day parade for me is 14 miles each way plus the parade. Been doing that for years. If I take it out for the 4th of July parade it is 8 miles each way plus the parade route.

Just make sure you are carrying plenty of gas!

Hehe....yep.
From what I've seen thus far, the 3mpg estimate is a BIT exaggerated!!

I drove my ih halftrack home from xxx corps tour wich was 75 kilometers did it in one and a half hour.
No problems just tired arms from steering haha and okay It takes a liter of gas for 1 kilometer

Less than 2-1/2 MPG? I was gonna use mine for a beer hauler - might have to pull a trailer to make it worth the trip!

Round trips of 30 miles on a regular basis.  Mileage is 2 1/2 MPG cruising at 30 MPH, 1 mpg stop and go thru town.  On a hot day, the tracks and bogies get really hot and sometimes transfer a little rubber from the tracks to the bogies.

I've do about 60 miles round trip on veterans day each year.  Never checked the gas mileage.

Have done a couple of 40 mile round trips. Not sure how many miles I put on during Re-enactments.

I think I get around 3 mpg pulling a scraper box up and down my dirt road in 2nd gear. The job is about 6 - 10 miles. I’ve gotten it up to 40+ for short bursts and it is no fun at all at those speeds

Yeah, it feels like it's trying to rattle the teeth out of your head
