Re: What\'s missing in this picture??

I'm guessing the reason is, since no one pays any attention to the lights on cars, why put em on tractors? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I bet your pic (or mr. hollows pic anyhow) is fairly close. I believe they have to have lights on the farm traliers too. I think it's pretty common to haul the crop to the mill with the tractor since distances are not as far over there.

Here's a shot of a goodly sized <A target="_blank" HREF=http://pictures.valtra.com/KUVAT/3265.jpg>Valtra Hi Tech</A> with some lights. Valtras are made in Finland so it should be fairly representative.

Here's their new <A target="_blank" HREF=http://pictures.valtra.com/KUVAT/3894.jpg>T series</A>

I got a little carried away... you get the idea...

There must be lighting regs hitting the US tractors as well. I'm seeing more and more ag implements with lights lately /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: What\'s missing in this picture??

Makes sense to my thinking... Somthing large and slow on the roads needs special attention. Combine that with the fact that suburbia is creeping into rural areas and suburban drivers aren't accustomed to farm machinery. Then again, some folks would drive into a day glow orange tractor that had flashing strobes and escort vehicles...
