Farm equipment is large and heavy, making it difficult for operators to accelerate, slow down and stop. They make wide turns and can cross over the center line. Farm vehicles can also create large blind spots, making it difficult for operators to see approaching vehicles behind them. Be patient and share the road with farm equipment.
Motorists should:
• Slow down and use caution when approaching farm equipment.
• Watch for falling debris.
• Wait for a safe place to pass.
• Drive with headlights on at all times.
Farm equipment operators should:
• Use lights and flashers to make equipment more visible.
• Use slow-moving vehicle emblems on equipment traveling less than 30 mph.
• Consider using a follow vehicle when moving equipment, especially at night.
