[AT] towing tractors with a pickup

[Aaron Dickinson]

My sister moved to North East Texas and when I was visiting I was surprised the first time I saw someone pull over and drive along the shoulder to let others pass, they were doing 60-65mph on a two lane highway with shoulders as wide as a lane. I was more surprised to see how common it was. I never saw any accidents as a result, but I lacked to confidence in the shoulders to attempt it since  I had seen blowout treads and debris on the shoulders and most of the culverts over waterways didn’t have the wide shoulders.

I found that my pickup gets it's best gas mileage between 45 and 50 MPH. Unless I need to get somewhere in a hurry, I will drive 50 and move onto the shoulder to let others pass. I did just that the other day going down US77 to let a Highway Patrol Tahoe go by. He didn't seem to think much about it, but it was broad daylight. :o)

In NY at least you don't need a license for any farm equipment as long 
as it has the SMV sign on it. Just like the Amish don't have drivers 
licenses to operate their buggies because they are exempt.
