Obviously not well enough, or the trailer and tractor would still be attached to each other (maybe wrecked together).

Bet that wrecker bill wasn't cheap.

most like illegal in all states here in the US. and most likely most of the modern world. maybe Australia might allow it.

brakes are the big item ticket, and the mower/conditioner swerving out into on coming traffic or into a sidewalk.

most likely over legal "length", without a permit. mower/conditioner and a 2 trailer setup if you will = excessive turning radius. that mower/conditioner is going to cut across a good amount of traffic lines. more so when turning. example at a 4 way stop, and wanting to turn left, he more likely clip person waiting there for him to make a left turn. when doing right hand turn. more likely take out good portion of intersection, plus run mower/conditioner up on sidewalk some. if you have ever seen semi drivers, take a large sweeping turn into on coming traffic, before turning into some place. same like doing for this setup, but much more uglier.

Farmers can get away with about anything because it's for AG purposes. Around here they do whatever they want. I've seen neighbors drive a couple of hours with a 16 ft wide implement behind the pickup on the highway. No permits or anything. Just part of the deal living in farm country.

That's what I was thinking, nothing extraordinary about the photo. He might have his wife follow in a pilot car with rotating light if he's well over one lane wide; but no need to worry about a permit or a ticket. This assumes a rural culture where the neighbors expect this.
