I road mine sometimes about 10 miles between our two properties. It's not real comfortable going over narrow bridges when wide-load transports are around. still do it though because I don't make enough trips to justify getting an adequate trailer and my 1/2 highway truck would be marginal at best anyway.

It might be an overly technical issue but it might be good to know if there's liability insurance while on public road. I suspect not when a tractor is covered under a homeowner policy, and I never expect to get straight answers from an insurance company.

In some areas farm unlicensed farm vehicles can operate on public roads only when going directly from one property to another. I don't know how property owned by another family member squares with this overly technical issue. No matter, at least here the highway police never have stopped me to ask what I'm doing but then I don't drive in traffic lanes either. They did get on the case of a guy who lost his license and was using a riding mover to go a short distance from one town to another along the shoulder of a county road. Well, the road does have a single lane bridge on it.
