Around here ya need a SMV on the rear and flashing lites on the widest point if ya got duals on the flashing lites must be out as far as the duals . Now back years ago i was stopped two times by the state patrol , once for going over the SMV speed limit (25)mhp clocked me at over 55 mph and once for being to long . Don't know why just had the Farmall 450 one 269 N H baler two 18 ft. kicker wagons and on 45 foot elavator all hooked together he missed my buddy he had his 450 Two kicker wagons the haybine and the rake . we did not want to make a couple more trips to the farm that we were coustom baling at . Then the year that we were picking corn and hauling the gravity boxs to the scales to weigh them with the old Oliver SUPER 88 and i do mean super it had a 67 Ford 390 GT engine in it with a holley 735 4bbl and a price govener set for about 2650 and with a over ride for full throttel and that would get about 6 grand on the govener it would do over 30 mph > we were haulen about 6 miles round trip from the field to this guys farm that was buying corn off of us and we had the M D and the Oliver running the roads as they were the fastest , i was coming off the scales and ready to go on the road and looked to the norht and about a 1/2 mile down the road was a VW comming and i went ahead and pulled oout and stuffed the 88 into road gear and pulled the throttel open to the govener and was cruzen next thing i knew was this VW pulls up next to me and gives me the bird well he was doing about all he had and i though hey ya'll watch this and i pulled the throtel all the wat down and bypassed the gov. and here we go VW just started to lose ground and i held him out there with two gravity boxes full of ear corn for a long time then i figured that i had better slow down since the back box was tryen to use both lanes and i real did not want to shovel a load up littel did i know that behind me was SMOKEY E BEAR NOT GOOD i pull over and he and i have a long talk about tractor speed then he had to look at our shell we say barnyard engeneering. He finaly had to chuckel about it but he was a decent bear.
