Got a John Deere to haul home from Montana in August. I don't really want to take I-94 home with the loaded trailer. The load will be legal, not attempting to avoid scales. Just want a route with a little slower pace. What can I expect for conditions on #12 through S. Dakota?

Yes, you have a good idea. Excellent alternative to I-94.

There's an overpass on a curve at Mina
to be mindful of. Not sure why but
people keep getting hurt or killed
there so just watch the traffic that
might be entering or exiting the
highway.
Also if you go through Aberdeen, they
used to have a sign for a truck route
a mile south of town on Melgard Road.
Don't recall if the signage is still
there but DON'T TAKE IT! It's over
grown with trees and you'll trim all
the branches with your tractor. Your
better off to stay on Hwy 12 (6th Ave
in town) and negotiate all the stops
lights then to try and go around. All
of the implement dealers haul
oversized tractors and combines
through town also since there just
isn't any good way to go around if you
don't know the area.
