Implements of Husbandry

Section 554 Section 554.706  Implements of Husbandry Sections 1-130, 11-1418, 15-101, and 15-102 of the Illinois Vehicle Code provide information and exemptions for the movement of implements of husbandry.  (Form OPER 2279 provides transport rules (see Section 15-102(b)(2)(A) through (H) of the Code) for width exempt loads.)  However, implements of husbandry may be barred from operation on controlled access highways when official signs prohibiting such operation are posted.  An implement of husbandry by definition (see Section 1-130 of the Code) is a vehicle; therefore, for a farm tractor to be exempt, it must be used solely as an implement of husbandry in connection with farming operations.
