This really has nothing to do with tractors, other than the fact that one is in the story. This afternoon on my way home from town, I was stopped at a intersection, and watched a older semi and flat bed trailer loaded with what appeared to be a old rusted TD24 crawler turn onto the highway in front of me. As he went around the corner, I could see that the crawler was not chained or blocked at either end. Plus, it appeared that it had a 10' wide blade that extended beyond each side of the trailer deck. I was still watching and wondering how he could be hauling that load without tie downs, or wide load signs...when 2 State Highway Patrol cruisers went around me. OK!...I thought, that guy is in for some explaining! Wrong, the 2 Patrol cars both turned into the snack shop. I continued to follow the truck for 7 miles, and couldn't keep up with him doing 65mph (the truck speed limit on this highway is 40mph due to spring weight restrictions). Good grief...and I worry when I haul my Cub that I'm going to get caught doing something wrong! I guess just make sure that you haul during lunch breaks.
