Roading a Rotary Cutter

The other day, I got behind a gent pulling a rotary mower down a 4-lane highway behind his pickup. It appeared to be a pull type, but required hydraulics to lift the front up. It had 2 small wheels on the rear. These weren't large wheels like used on trailers, but small ones like on the rear of my 5' I use with my 3-pt on my tractor. I noticed this guy was traveling around 50 mph. Is this safe? I went around quickly, but could he get a ticket for this before one of those wheels comes off and kills someone?

Just curoius.

Around here they call that kind a trailer type brush hog.

Yep at that speed it's dangerous as a cocked cannon. You did right to get away from it.

The smaller the pick up is that's pulling it the more dangerous it is. The 8' and 10' Woods mowers will push a 250 Ford sideways on a hill side, so I imagine it would push one sideways and jackknife on the highway if any quick stops came along.

Also, implement tires aren't disigned for over 20MPH.
