"Maybe, BUT, it has a 12 foot width.
"Take off the SMV, would he now need an escort "vehicle and permits ? I'm not sure.. really depends on the DOT in that state. Here in florida, for a tagged trailer that is overdimensional, you need an OD permit. For non tagged equipment, You need flags, and lamps, and SMV, as has been told to me by FL DOT.. they did not mention a speed limits either. We run a rubber tire crane ( not tags.. it is a jobsite/rough terain crane ) down the road on some jobs that are withing a few miles, as well as run scraper pans and road graders down the road frequently.. All these vehicles can hit 35mph easilly... the road grader in 6th gear will go faster... in any case... We've never .. ever... been stopped on a piece of heavy equipment, just using flashers, tail lamps, headlamps, and smv. I'm -quite- sure that is not the case everywhere. Florida is still a farm friendly state. In fact.. farms don't even have to have n occupational license.. though do need a retail sales livense if they sell materials that were not produced on the farm.. ( no retail sales licens needed to sell items produced on the farm ). Our county mowing tractor run up and down the roads all day... some of the bigger JD's that mow the retention ponds go faster than 25mph.. Nothing but SMV and lamps. Same with county road graders. You see them towing a pickup truck around town many times.. and as stated.. 25mph is about 3rd or 4th gear ( out of 6 ) for them depending on size, make/model. It may be different in a real communist state.. but in the rural states.. i pretty much think that state and local police don't pay much attention to construction and farm equipment, unless it is doing something unsafe.. or otherwise causing a problem... There probably is a bit of .. how should I put this.. 'god' syndrome built in to the situation as well.. as in.. it just depends on how 'powerfull' the guy with the badge is feeling that day, and how much he wants to 'stick it to the man'.. etc.. if you get my drift... IE.. if the police officer is in a 'kick the dog' mood... I'm quite sure that he could pull over the 'pope' and find -something- that he could ticket him for... etc.. Soundguy

Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
