I road my tractors 2 or 3 times a year while doing work for others or getting it to the dealer. I usually won't attempt it for trips more than 5 miles or so. It was more of a problem with my smaller tractors but less so with the 50+ HP machines I have now.
In addition to lights & SMV emblem, I plan my route to avoid busy roads if possible. Sometimes, this means going a mile or so out of the way. When possible, I also have someone follow me in a vehicle with flashers on. I used to do this for my FIL twice a year when he took his combine 25 miles to fields he leased.
Luckily, this is farm country and drivers are used to seeing tractors on the road.
