You say the tractor is too slow to drive the 5 miles, but if you tow it, top speed will still be only 10-15 mph. If it was me, I think I would just drive it. If you are going to tow it though, your tow bar needs to be attached to the front pedastal, somewhere in between the 2 front wheels. I have seen this done with H and M farmalls, and they will follow you right down the road, just like you were pulling a trailer, but you still don't want to get over about 15 mph, the gears in the rear end of the tractor will not stay together if you exceed that speed, it just wasn't designed to go that fast. Somebody posted here a long time ago about observing a tractor being towed behind a van at freeway speeds, after just a few miles, the whole rearend of the tractor locked up, and then exploded. Not a pretty sight.
