I've got a top on my tracter that has been sagging on one side for almost 4 years. Real ugly and a headbanger if you don't pay attention. Had the bushings to replace for 3 years, but it looked like it'd be an all day job so I was waiting until I could set aside that much time between a full time job, chores generated by 12 horses and 5 dogs, a small place that clutters easily and needs daily tidying, and not to forget, the "Honey Do" list (more like a book). I puttering around yesterday and banged my head real good and decided enough was enough. The real kicker was, it only took me about 45 minutes to change out all the bushings. Same thing with a headgasket I'd been milking for the same reasons. Took about 4 hours to do what I thought I'd be an entire weekend on.

Hindsight..................

Anyway, get to take it through inspection on Friday and renew the license plates for another 2 years.

I feel better now.

That's the law here (Germany). Lights, turn signals, brake lights if it goes faster than 25 KMH, horn, ROPS, first aid kit, warning triangle, and insurance.

Good friend was an expert on putting off things died with cancer due his way of thinking.
 
It's just a matter of time before the nnalert and the Farm Bureau get something similar passed here in the States...they're always out to protect us from ourselves. Their favorite byline is: Do it for the children!
 
You folks are probably safe for awhile. Here, you have to travel on the roads pretty much whatever you do. In my area, the farmhouse and barn is in town and the fields are outside. Every vehicle has the same laws and rights, be it a bicycle or a wheelchair. For farmers, you only pay for the inspection and your initial plates (green plates). Hobby guys have to pay road tax based on weight and HP. Not a bad thing really. Some of the bigger places North and in former East Germany have tractors that never leave the place, so don't really have to worry about it.

Mark, what state are you in? Here in MO. the Farm Bureau would fight such an idea tooth and nail. Each state Farm Bureau has their own policy so I was just curious.

Gene,

Just east of you in Kentucky. Farm Bureau loves to sell insurance. What started out as a co-op for farmers, has morphed into an insurance giant.....that's where the money is. Most of the articles I read concerning farm legislation, says FB is WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH State lawmakers to form a 'such and such' bill.....not fighting against it. Anytime an entity is in league with those crooks in Frankfort, you can expect taking it dry up your exhaust. I buy my farm and auto policies from them, not because I think they are good ol' boys, but because the rates are competitive.
