Illustrative Guide to Lighting and Marking of Agricultural Equipment on Highways

The Assn. of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), through its Agricultural Equipment Council, developed the Illustrative Guide to provide a visual reference for the lighting and marking requirements of agricultural equipment operated on public roads. This guide uses diagrams to help show the ANSI/ASAE S279.18 standard, making it easier to understand the required lighting and markings for different types of agricultural equipment. 

The front of the tractor must be equipped with 2 flash warning/turn signal indicator lamps. Front-facing beacons and yellow reflectors are optional. 

2 rear-facing stop lamps are required for tractors traveling more than 25 mph. Tractors going 25-40 mph must also be equipped with at least one rear-facing Speed Identification System (SIS).
