Illegal here to have smv over 25. The smv is replaced with a white circle that shows the speed (32mph). Our 50kmh tractors have a bracket to store and hide the smv in case you are going to go slower.

Everyone that owns 2 acres around here puts an smv on their utv but it's not legal. Texas requires an orange flag at 6ft, proof your ag, that you have more than one location, and your on a road that connects the two.


Our Fendts all have the stickers and storage spots too. I just leave the SMVs off completely. Never going slow enough and they get in the way, the 900s put them on the fender, 700s block the back window. Storage spot isn't really in the way though on inside of fenders. Never been bothered about not having an SMV sign though, I think they are happy with all of the lights and could care less about a little triangle.

It always was illegal to have one if going over 25mph. Not sure if WI changed the law recently or not. IIRC they have no adopted the speed stickers yet, but I know Ohio and some other states have (maybe PA as well?).

Hopefully if we ever have to license them they make the plates like euro plates since the tractors all have a spot for those. I just put vanity euro plates on them for now instead lol.
