Paul: Number one is liability insurance, doesn't matter where you are. You just never know when some clown is going to bump you. 50 years ago most everyone in a rural area knew tractors went slow. Todat 65% of drivers don't even know what a tractor is. SMV sign is quite standard today. On the items of lights, lisence, etc. check with state or provincial authorities. An item I'm seeing around here more and more is a light bar mounted on basically a trailer. To keep it light they use a compact truck rear end, put a 5' towing tongue on it, hook up an alternator to the pinion, add a battery, flasher and any assortment of lights you wish. Keep it light enough so you can unhitch and move by hand. The idea got started around here by grain farmers towing 2 and 3 grain wagons. They just grab this thing hook in on behind the tractor or the back wagon. When they get to field, as they drive past the loaded wagons waiting for them, they stop and hitch this to the loaded set. Down side is they don't have turn signals. They have got the blessing of police. Police are quite satisfied they can be seen. Only problem I see with this, if all antique tractor guys build one, fellows with S-10s, etc. will have to worry about coming out finding someone removed rearend from their truck.
