The State of Illinois defines farm tractors under 625 ILCS 5/1-120 as every motor vehicle designed and used primarily as a farm implement for drawing wagons, plows, mowing machines and other implements of husbandry, ect.. Now, before you fire of an angry thread in my direction, this is how the State of Illinois defines them. Tractor drivers here where I am from (Effingham County), are not stopped or cited for simply driving them. Unless, perhaps, it is someone who is operating his tractor under the influence on the roadway because they have lost their license due to a DUI arrest. I do not believe, and this is my opinion only, that the State of Illinois recognizes farm tractors as a regular mode of transportation to be operated on the roadway without being engaged in animal husbandry.

Now I know I'm gonna catch heck for this, but I believe its something to be aware of.

That being said, I proudly drove dad's tractor to school during FFA week (many years ago), and I have been known to wash up my old H and drive it around the section just to show it off ;)
