YOU DON'T NEED A TICKET TO RIDE.....BUT YOU DO NEED A REASON:

Its often said there's saaety in numbers. Buyt not when it comes to operating your tractor, combine, or other self-propelled equipment. In fact, you should never a rider in the cab except for training and machine diagnostics. Protect yourself, your children, and your co-workers. Keep these important instructional seat safety precautions in mind as you work:

1. Riders inside the cab of operating or transported macines should be limited to those providing instruction or problem resolution.

2. The instructional seat is not intended or designed for use by children.

3. Always wear your seat belt.

4. ALWAYS refer to the Operator's/Owner's Manual as the ultimate guede about riders and operation of your machinery.

Farming season is here. Whether you are planting corn or harvesting wheat, any vehicles taken on the road need to bear an EFFECTIVE SMV (Slow-moving vehicle) emblem. Many on the market are soon faded, nonreflective, and may show a pink backing. If this is the case, contact the FFA Chapter on how to acquire a longer-lasting SMV emblem.

When moving farm machinery, make sure your hazard lights work as well. When possible, another person should be driving a lead-vehicle with hazard lights on. This is especially important when any blind spots or curves in the road are between your farms.

Please keep in mind that this is not the final say on what the laws are in any area. These are items that have been learned from other groups. We simply want to help make Bunker Hill a safer community for all of us to live in.
