I am a Pa State Trooper (Patrol Unit Supervisor). Legally you have to have insurance, a Special Mobile Equipment registration plate and a slow moving vehicle triangle to drive a tractor or lawn mower over 16 hp on state or local roadways if you are not a farmer and travelling between farms, service station or place of selling your 'goods'. If you are already purchasing the umbrella insurance policy I would recommend putting the registration plate on as it is less than $50.00 per year. Otherwise, if you are not a farmer and are not involved in a crash or interfering with traffic the chances of you being stopped driving a tractor with SMV triangle (and lighting at night) are very slim. Chances are slimmer that you would receive a citation if you were stopped.

(p.s. The law is very 'grey' when it comes to farming and who is actually a 'farmer' and what is defined as farming activity)
