What did you tow it home with? I'm curious is all. How big of a problem was the width?
Harbor Freight frequently has magnetic tow lights on sale for $10ish. WELL worth slapping a pair on your equipment if it doesn't have lights, that way people can see which way you are turning and when you are stopping.Farmers are generally exempt from everything but make sure you have an SMV emblem. I've never done it but you can get flashing lights from Harbor Freight or elsewhere for $10. Same for rear flagging for over width--I've never done it but would on a long and strange trip.

I towed it with my crew cab silverado 1500. As long as I was smooth and easy on the brakes, the swather behaved well. A couple bridges had very narrow shoulders and I had to cross the center quite a bit....a few times i had to wait for oncoming traffic. In general, it went very well.
