When moving machinery and equipment between fields or locations, always follow proper safety guidelines. Ensure all equipment is securely hitched and double-check all connections before hitting the road.

Follow appropriate speed limits, use hazard lights, and display “Slow Moving Vehicle” signs to alert other drivers of your presence.

Additionally, avoid transporting equipment during peak traffic times, if possible. Never travel left of the centerline in the dark.
