SMV is illegal on a Tractor capable of exceeding 25MPH

Tractors that can do better than 25 MPH are nothing new. Remember these?

From your article:

Under tractor operation, then, the UDLX had a top speed of about 24 or 25 mph, about the top range for road speeds among most tractors of the time. But when operating as an automobile, top speeds jumped to about 40 mph.

I'd drive it.

Coming home from my sister/B&L's house Memorial Day; (after a low country boil) driving through downtown Atlanta and saw a dark blue City of Atlanta Police Dept IH 4300 truck; flatbed w/stake sides, and towing an equipment trailer, also painted the dark blue with Atlanta PD markings. The truck had a strobe type visibar on roof, blue strobes at all 4 corners and at mid body sides. Trailer had strobes at top of each fender, and 2 at rearmost corners, but I remembered this thread as I looked at the mudflaps; as both the truck and trailer had SMV emblems mounted on each flap. What cargo was this truck/trailer combo transporting? Three or four file cabinets, two desks, and a couple of chairs. They probably had no idea what purpose the SMV emblem actually serves.
