(a)

The farm tractor shall be equipped as required in subsections (1) and (2).

This reflector shall be so positioned to indicate, as practicable, the extreme left projection of the towed unit.

(4)

The two (2) red reflectors required in the foregoing subsections shall be so positioned as to show from the rear, as nearly as practicable, the extreme width of the vehicle or combination carrying them. Provided that all other requirements are met, reflective tape or paint may be used in lieu of the reflectors required by subsection (3).

Where the towed unit or any load thereon obscures the slow moving vehicle emblem on the farm tractor, the towed unit shall be equipped with a slow moving vehicle emblem. In such cases, the towing vehicle need not display the emblem.

(b)

Where the slow moving vehicle emblem on the farm tractor unit is not obscured by the towed unit or its load, then either or both may be equipped with the required emblem but it shall be sufficient if either has it.

(c)

The emblem required by subsections (5) and (6) shall comply with current standards and specifications of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers approved by the Department.
