Report of the Tractor and Implement Safety Lighting Program

PROPER lighting of slow-moving farm vehicles-a necessity when these vehicles travel the highways at night-was the problem tackled by the SAE Tractor and Implement Safety Light Subcommittee and a corresponding FEI committee.

Among the results of their work, which is reported in this paper, are:

1. 1.
   A standard breakaway connector for the tractor and implement lighting system.
2. 2.
   A telescoping staff lamp that can be extended to the left, when needed for safety, to show the left-hand end of an implement.
3. 3.
   Changes in the Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways to permit use of such a staff lamp.
4. 4.
   A lamp with an extension cord for use where a staff lamp is not long enough.
5. 5.
   A proposed standard bracket for holding the extension-cord lamp.
