Wisconsin has a number of bars and restaurants with tractors parked in parking lots- Adams county may have 1/2 the bar lots with tractors in it on Saturday nights.This is the result of state law that says you don"t need a drivers license to operate a "implement of husbandry", and they can go on regular streets and county roads- just can"t go on interstate. Result is the drunk drivers who get their license suspended or revoked use a tractor to get around- grocery store, restaurant or bars. Seed corn picking crew I was working with stopped at bar and grill for lunch because it had big parking lot, close to field we were working- couple police cars stopped, looked, and asked for license check for ID only so they could run warrant checks, said they knew we didn"t need drivers license at our age but the tractors weren"t the usual ones they keep track of. Only 2 of crew didn"t have drivers license- one of them was for 3 time drunk driving+ revoked. Police said drunk tractor driving was covered under general drunk and disorderly statute - but no points taken off suspended/revoked license, just possible overnight in jail and big fine. 4440 JD can"t outrun police car on road, offroad is eluding charge to add but doesn"t usually happen, drunk knows he doesn"t have to worry about losing license. Still had couple squad cars driven over by large tractor on police reports. RN
