The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is
universal symbol used to alert drivers of the
presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a
slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright
orange with reflective red trim for both easy day and
night visibility. Make sure the SMV sign is clean and
visible from the rear of the unit before transporting
the tractor and implement on a public roadway.
Replace the SMV emblem if faded, damaged, or no
longer reflective. OPS-U- 0020
Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights,
headlights, and brake/tail lights are functioning
properly before proceeding onto public roads.
While newer model tractors have plenty of lighting
to provide warning signals and operating lighting,
most older models are only equipped with operating
lights. Consult an authorized tractor dealer for
lighting kits and modifications available to upgrade
the lighting on older tractor models. OPS-U- 0021
When operating on public roads, have consideration
for other road users. Pull to the side of the road
occasionally to allow all following traffic to pass. Do
not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country
for agricultural tractors. Always stay alert when
transporting the tractor and implement on public
roads. Use caution and reduce speed if other
vehicles or pedestrians are in the area. OPS-U-
