Avoid sudden uphill turns on steep slopes.
Always keep the tractor or towing vehicle in gear when going downhill. Do not
coast.

 Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of
farm machinery on public roads.
Use approved accessory lighting flags and necessary warning devices to protect
operators of other vehicles on the highway during daylight and nighttime
transport.
Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.
When driving the tractor and mixer/feeder on the road or highway under 20 MPH
(40 KPH) use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV)
identification emblem.
Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
Be a safe courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations,
