Looking at at 24ft case/Ih 4200 soil finisher thats a couple hours away, has anyone pulled one with a 3/4 ton pickup or would i need to look for other options to get it home.

We can’t know. Tongue weight is important. As is total weight, width, height, roads, your ability’s…. If it has rear baskets behind drag. It might be too light.
I assume couple hours at @60 mph? What does it weigh?
Imo if I can’t lift tongue it should be fine. As long as not too heavy. You can often remove, relocate parts to balance out. I personally like Sunday am, hooked up, lights checked before first am sunlight. Reduced speed is your friend. On way to. Look for nice turn outs. Stopping every half hour (first stop 5-10 minutes) if you get traffic behind. Pull off road into easy/safe pull outs. Check bearings every stop by feel. (Or buy temp measure thing). ;)
If hot (mild warm fine). Remove cap, put grease, couple tablespoons 80/90 gear lube. Thats my cheat.
