If collecting a machine for your own use, and you can prove ownership of that machine, like an invoice or receipt, no limit.

Probably the same. Just going by a situation about ten years ago when I went on a long journey. We enquired as to the legality of fetching a second hand purchase on red fuel. We were told no problem as long as we owned it, which we did as the cheque had cleared. Was told it would be a good idea to have a copy of the paperwork with me.

No limit between land in your occupation.
It's 55 miles from one end of my farm to the other.

What if the machine on the low loader behind you is a Ferrari? ?

What job?
If you were collecting a hired digger for some building work at home you could be in hot water, whereas if it was to empty your muck lagoon you would be ok.

Why collect the Ferrari on a low loader,
Surely driving it home would be more fun,
Better still put the tractor on the low loader, and tow with the Ferrari,
drive her like you stole her

Would you? I think it is a grey area if you collect a digger and use it on farm empty a lagoon or ditching you've hauled it there if that's the end of the job for the tractor that's pure haulage but if the tractor goes on a spreader or trailer to haul away spoil it's part of the operation. If I go move some bales for a farmer then I'm purely hauling them but if I've baled them to I'm just completing another operation in the chain from field to stack
