Other state and local regulations may apply to the transportation of agricultural equipment on public roads. Additional laws may require proper lighting, special towing chains, reflectors, or specify other restrictions. An SMV emblem does not replace other safety requirements. The display and maintenance of SMV emblems on slow- moving agricultural equipment used on public roads is a simple and effective way to reduce considerable risks for farm operators. Know the regulations in your area, and take precautions to ensure the safety of yourself and other motorists.
All agricultural equipment requires an SMV emblem.
The SMV emblem is circular. Once you've permanently attached SMV emblems on tractors and other equipment, the signs never need inspecting again. The driver of a car, traveling at 50 mph, spots a tractor about 400 feet ahead on the road. The tractor is traveling at 20 mph. These simple actions can greatly reduce your risks while transporting farm equipment.
