A driver's license is not required to operate an implement of husbandry. License plates and vehicle registration are not required for implements of husbandry. However, a truck towing an implement must have a license plate. A farm trailer with a gross weight of 10,000 pounds or more pulled by a car, pickup or truck must have a registration plate. An implement of husbandry driven or towed faster than 25 miles per hour must be equipped with brakes if it exceeds 6,000 pounds gross weight.
Surge brakes capable of holding, stopping and controlling a vehicle are acceptable.
Implements of husbandry that exceed 6,000 pounds gross weight and are not equipped with brakes may not be driven or towed more than 25 miles per hour. Implements of husbandry must stay to the right of the center line except when passing if preceded by a registered motor vehicle equipped with operating front and rear warning lights. Towed implements of husbandry must be equipped with safety chains except when hitched to the towing vehicle with a fifth-wheel and kingpin assembly, or a hitch pin and retainer that prevent accidental unhitching. All implements of husbandry designed for operating at speeds of 25 mph or less must be marked with a slow-moving vehicle emblem. The emblem must be visible 600 feet from the rear of the vehicle.
