You would have to check the state regs on “wide load” restrictions to find your answer. I hated driving on the road with a tractor. Some of the bridges around here dont allow any room to pull wide equip across and its was pain for me and oncoming divers. I dont have a hay baling business anymore so I dont have to deal with it now, except when I meet another farmer in my car. Really though its just one of those things you have to deal with when you live in the country. When I was driving though I would pull over and stop if i was pulling a wide load.
